Heartache

Verse 1 If heartache worked like phones do Delete, delete the proof Clear the chat, erase the pics Unsend the truth Slide left on every memory Archive what we knew Turn the brightness down on nights That looked like you I’d empty out my camera roll Like it never happened No late-night drives, no “stay a while” No almost everlasting But my mind don’t have a setting For selective use It replays what I’m trying Hardest to remove Pre-Chorus I can clear my screen But not my head Close the app But the feeling’s still there Chorus Delete, delete, delete the proof Why won’t it work like that? Why every quiet minute Pull me right back? If moving on was just a swipe I’d finally cut you loose But my heart don’t work like phones do Verse 2 I tried new places, new routines New faces in my space But every laugh just echoes The shape of your face I muted every reminder Blocked your name in blue Still my thoughts keep sending Notifications of you Time was supposed to fix it Distance make it fade But healing ain’t a hard reset It’s updates every day And some days I feel stronger Some days I still lose Fighting with the version of me That still wants you Pre-Chorus I can power down Turn off the light But dreams don’t ask If I’m alright Chorus Delete, delete, delete the proof Why won’t it disappear? Why every midnight memory Feel so clear? If letting go was digital I’d press it till it’s through But my heart don’t work like phones do Bridge (Stripped / Almost Whispered) Maybe love ain’t data You can just erase Maybe it’s a fingerprint Time can’t replace Maybe closure’s not a button You push and choose Maybe learning how to live Is the only move Final Chorus (Lift but restrained) Delete, delete, delete the proof Guess it don’t work that way Some things stay in the system Long after they fade If growing up means carrying What I can’t undo Then my heart don’t work like phones do
