Lyrics
Verse 1
I keep trying to forget
everything that happened then
The night I learned the truth
About you and someone I once trusted
I tell myself it’s over
That time should’ve erased the pain
But every quiet moment
Brings it back again
Lost sleep, long silence, short answers
Two words left unsaid
Pre-Chorus
I don’t look for the memories
they always find me first
Like they’ve been waiting
For me to get worse
Chorus
I don’t know how to let it go
Even though it’s been so long
I should be past it by now
But it still feels wrong
I’ve moved on in every way
Except the part of me that knew
I keep asking myself
How do you forget
What broke you
Verse 2
I walk through days pretending
Like it doesn’t cross my mind
But trust doesn’t heal quietly
It leaves a mark behind
You took something I believed in
And turned it into doubt
Now every time I try to love
I don’t know how
Brick walls between soft words
Broken, battered, bruised
Pre-Chorus
I don’t want to carry this
But I don’t know where to put it down
It follows me
Without a sound
Chorus
I don’t know how to let it go
Even though it’s been so long
I should be past it by now
But it still feels wrong
I’ve moved on in every way
Except the part of me that knew
I keep asking myself
How do you forget
What broke you
Bridge
Maybe healing isn’t forgetting
Maybe it’s learning how to breathe
With the weight of what happened
Still living inside me
Let go, let live, let love
Final Chorus
I don’t know how to let it go
But I’m trying every day
I know it’s over, I know it’s done
Still it won’t fade
If someday this stops hurting
I won’t ask why or how
I just hope it comes quietly
It should be gone by now
Outro
I don’t miss you
I miss who I was
Before that moment
Changed everything
Forever, for good, for real
