I still hear your voice in the quiet

Like a ghost in my hallway light

I try to breathe without crying

But some nights I lose the fight

I packed your things, but not the pain

Your shadow’s still in the windowpane

I tell my friends, “I’m doing fine”

But I still check for your name at night

And I hate how love can fade

Like a song that slowly slips away

But maybe in the silence, I’ll learn to feel

What they all say is real…

Time will heal, they say it soft

Like it’s a cure for all I’ve lost

But they don’t know the way you looked at me

The way it hurts just to breathe

I’ll fake a smile, I’ll take the fall

Pretend I haven’t lost it all

I’ll wait until the pain don’t feel so real

Time will heal… time will heal

Your sweatshirt’s still on my chair

I wear it just to feel you there

I talk to the walls like you might hear

Even though I know you're nowhere near

I sleep on my side of the bed

But it’s cold where you used to rest your head

I hate how empty love can be

When someone walks out so easily

And I still dream in black and white

Like our last fight plays every night

But maybe when the tears stop being steel

I’ll believe that time will heal…

Time will heal, they tell me that

Like it’s a pill or a heart map

But they don’t feel the way you touched my soul

How could I ever let that go?

I’ll fake a smile, I’ll stand up tall

Pretend I haven’t lost it all

I’ll wait until the pain don’t feel so real

Time will heal… time will heal

I don't need it to be perfect

I just need it to stop hurting

One day I’ll look back and see

This was just a piece of me

Time will heal — I whisper slow

Still learning how to let you go

Even if my heart’s not ready yet

You’re the kind I won’t forget

But I’ll fake a smile, I’ll start to feel

Like maybe love was even real

And maybe one day I’ll believe it still…

Time will heal

Time will heal
