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
