Fading Close

I thought you were the one,

but I was wrong

I held on tight for far too long

My mama said some wounds will heal in time

But every night, you stayed inside my mind

I knew I had to let the past go

Still every step felt heavy and slow

Look at me, I’m heartbroken

Trying to leave, but I’m still open

I want to move on,

but I can’t let go You left a space I still don’t

know

Look at me, I’m heartbroken

Trying to breathe, but I’m still broken I’m ready to forget the

love we had

But my heart keeps pulling me back

Some people saw the tears I tried to hide

A quiet storm I carried deep inside

My father said I had to find my way

I kept my dreams alive through every day

I told myself I’d rise above

But losing you changed all I loved

Look at me, I’m heartbroken

Trying to leave, but I’m still open

I want to move on,

but I can’t let go

You left a space I still don’t know

Look at me, I’m heartbroken

Trying to breathe, but I’m still broken I’m ready to forget the

love we had But my heart keeps pulling me back

When I was young,

I dreamed so high

I held that fire deep inside Now I’m learning how to stand

alone

With every scar, I find my own

Look at me,

I’m heartbroken

Trying to leave, but I’m still open

I want to move on,

but I can’t let go You left a space I still don’t

know

Look at me, I’m heartbroken

Trying to breathe, but I’m still broken I’m ready to forget the

love we had But my heart keeps pulling me back

Look at me, I’m heartbroken Still here,

still hoping I’ll find my way through the dark

And mend this broken heart
