Ten Seconds

Verse 1 You finally spoke and said we’re through Like you were talking about the weather And just like that, my whole world broke in two All the tenderness you gave to me Had a leaving date I couldn’t see I’m still standing here, refusing to wake While you already packed every trace you made Verse 2 Memory is a dull knife, cutting slow Every scene laughs at how I won’t let go Your forever was like expired medicine It can’t heal the wound, just leaves the ache within I searched every message for proof of love But all I found was distance you controlled My heart was just a cost you weighed and sold And only now I see it all too clear Chorus Ten seconds with no heartbeat The world goes silent, cold, and deep Your face is fading from my view The pain spreads out through every cell of me I open my mouth to call your name But nothing comes out, not even a sound Ten seconds with no heartbeat I see the past like it’s still real You smiling, saying you loved me So clear it almost makes me believe The cruelest thing is not that you left me It’s that I’m still giving everything To a version of you that’s already gone Bridge Do I have to become a ghost to make you stay? Or did you never really care anyway? I’m trapped inside the loneliness you left Even breathing feels like a slow death Chorus 2 Ten seconds with no heartbeat I finally stop fighting it all Let the darkness swallow me whole Then maybe I won’t feel the fall Were your words a lie or were they true? I don’t have the strength to sort it through Ten seconds with no heartbeat If this is how it ends At least in my dreams you haven’t left But when I open my eyes, it’s only cold air And the version of me that loved you to death Outro Ten seconds with no heartbeat I finally hear myself again In a world where you’re not here I’m learning how to breathe Slowly, slowly Learning how to breathe
