months too late

[Verse 1] I rehearsed this speech a thousand nights alone, To the mirror, to the ghosts you left behind. Every word I never said now turns to stone, In the silence that you swore we’d never find. You said time would make it kinder, make it clear, But the clock just magnified the missing parts. Now your shadow’s still the loudest presence here, In the ruins of our carefully built hearts. [Pre-Chorus] Did you know when you were leaving, You were taking more than you? [Chorus] Months too late, I’m finally angry, Finally letting myself feel the fall. You don’t get to be the hero in my story, After watching me crawl. Months too late, I’m done pretending I was fine when you walked out that door. You don’t get to ask forgiveness For the boy you don’t love anymore. ⸻ [Verse 2] You were poetry I carried in my chest, Every promise like a melody I’d keep. But you changed the tune and left me with the rest — A broken harmony I couldn’t help but weep. They all told me I’d recover, I’d move on, Find a shoulder, find a light, a better view. But the truth is every morning since you’ve gone, Starts with learning how to live without you. [Pre-Chorus] Did you know when you were smiling, I was begging you to stay? ⸻ [Bridge — soft → build] Was I just a passing chapter? A rehearsal for your truth? Did you practice how to shatter Every promise of my youth? Tell me — did you even notice How I begged you with my eyes? Or was loving me a burden You were desperate to untie? ⸻ [BELT BUILD — orchestra swells] I GAVE YOU ALL I HAAAAAAAD — And you just let it faaaaaaaall — ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS — Key Change & Sustained Belt] Months too late, I’m still here standing, Though you tore this world apart — You don’t get to keep the pieces Of my heaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART ⸻ [Outro — fragile] I rehearsed this speech a thousand nights alone… And now you know.
