We used to chase the quiet dream

White walls, soft words, in-between

But perfect days feel empty now

Like smiling just to figure out how

I miss the nights we fought then stayed

At least we felt something that way

Now even peace feels paper-thin

I’m tired of pretending this is it

It’s better when it’s breaking

Than when it’s perfectly numb

I’d rather feel the floor give out

Than stand still, going dumb

If loving you means losing me

I won’t keep playing along

Sometimes it’s better to be alone

Than right in all the wrongs

We talk in circles, same mistakes

Patch the cracks with duct-tape faith

I’m worn out from the balancing act

Trying to save what we used to have

I used to fear the empty space

Now I crave a quieter place

Where I don’t have to beg for proof

That love’s not just a habit too

It’s better when it’s breaking

Than when it’s perfectly numb

I’d rather feel the floor give out

Than stand still, going dumb

If loving you means losing me

I won’t keep playing along

Sometimes it’s better to be alone

Than right in all the wrongs

Maybe love’s not meant to last

If it costs you who you are

I don’t hate you, I’m just tired

Of setting myself on fire

I used to think chaos was cruel

Now I know numbness is worse

At least pain tells you the truth

When silence just makes it hurt

It’s better when it’s breaking

Than when it’s dressed as calm

I won’t romanticize the ache

Or call endurance love

If staying means I disappear

I’ll finally move on

Sometimes it’s better to be alone

Than trapped in a perfect wrong

I don’t need a flawless ending

I just need my life back

Sometimes the bravest love

Is knowing when to walk back
