Breaking My Own Heart - Aliza
I said it's not the right time
I said I understand
But I watched you walk away
Hands empty, heart in your hands
I replay the way you glanced back
Like you wanted, needed a call
But I stayed frozen in the hallway
Staring at the wall
I'm breaking my own heart
Holding on
Holding on
To a door you pulled apart
But I still live in the dawn
I'm the one who keeps us stuck
In a story that you left
I'm breaking my own heart
You just did the rest
Friends keep asking how you're doing
I pretend I never care
But your name lives in the spaces between
Every shallow dare
I scroll through all our pictures then delete
Then pull them back
Guess it's easier to bleed slow
Than admit the thread has snapped
I'm breaking my own heart
Holding on
Holding on
To a door you pulled apart
But I still live in the dawn
I'm the one who keeps us stuck
In a story that you left
I'm breaking my own heart
You just did the rest
You didn't promise forever
You only promised today
I'm the one who started building
Castles out of clay
You didn't say you'd save me
I just heard what I wanted to hear
Now I'm standing in the silence
Drowning in the fear
I'm breaking my own heart
Every time I say your name
Calling you a villain
Just to hide my shame
I'm the one who keeps us stuck
Tracing everything in scars
You only walked away
And tore us apart
I'm breaking my own heart
I'm breaking my own heart
So I'll whisper goodbye
To the empty quiet air
Take the blame off your shoulders
Lay down the night here
When the ache begins to echo
I'll remember how it starts
Not every wound is yours
Some are my own marks
