They say it's been two years, I should be doing fine

New haircut, new address, they think I've left it all behind

"She's back on her feet now," that's what they love to say

But they don't see me sitting here when night steals the day

Time doesn't heal all wounds

It just teaches you to carry them

Under your smile, behind closed doors

Where no one else can see them

They say the pain will fade away

But that's not how it feels

Everybody's wrong—time doesn't heal

Got his jacket in the closet, still can't give it away

His cologne lingers there like he might come back someday

I've tried new company, new love, new everything

But memories have shadows that no light can chase away

Time doesn't heal all wounds

It just teaches you to carry them

Under your smile, behind closed doors

Where no one else can see them

They say the pain will fade away

But that's not how it feels

Everybody's wrong—time doesn't heal

Some nights are better than others

Some days I barely feel the pain

Then one song plays on the radio

And I'm right back there again

It's not bitter, it's just honest

Some things stay broken for good

And maybe healing isn't forgetting

It's just learning to live with the bruise

So I wake up each morning and I put on my brave face

I laugh at all the right times, I move at the right pace

But deep beneath my surface where no one ever sees

There's a piece of me still waiting where you left it to bleed

Time doesn't heal all wounds

It just teaches you to carry them

Under your smile, behind closed doors

Where no one else can see them

They say the pain will fade away

But that's just what they believe

The truth is hard—time doesn't heal

No, time doesn't heal
