Hurts Like Goodbye | Original Song for Broken Heart

“If this is love… why does it hurt like goodbye?” 💔 *Hurts Like Goodbye* is an original dark alt-pop heartbreak song about loving someone who is slowly slipping away. It's about leaving every light on for someone who's already gone, giving everything you have while barely holding yourself together, and wondering whether the pain you're enduring is really love. Sometimes, the hardest person to let go of is the one who makes you feel alone even when they're beside you. With intimate vocals, haunting melodies, atmospheric production, and a chorus that captures the ache of loving someone who no longer loves you the same way, this song is for anyone who's ever mistaken heartbreak for devotion. 🎧 *Listen with headphones for the full emotional experience.* 🖤 *LYRICS — HURTS LIKE GOODBYE* If this is love… Why does it hurt like goodbye? I read your silence like a letter Looking for the words you never say I keep telling myself we're getting better While I watch you slowly drift away I memorize the nights you hold me And forget the mornings you turn cold I'd rather have you half beside me Than a world without you at all And I know I should go But I'm still standing at the door If forever feels like falling Why do I keep asking for more? Maybe this is love Leaving every light on For someone who's already gone Giving you my everything While I'm barely holding on Maybe this is love Or a heart that can't give up I keep calling this forever While you slowly give me up I've learned to hide the disappointment Make a joke before the tears can show You don't see the little ways I'm changing Just to be someone you won't let go I'd forgive a thousand different endings If one of them could lead me back to you And I keep turning every warning Into one more reason to stay I know you never promised You would catch me when I fall But I handed you my pieces And you stepped over them all Maybe this is love Leaving every light on For someone who's already gone Giving you my everything While I'm barely holding on Maybe this is love Or a heart that can't give up I keep calling this forever While you slowly give me up What if love was never meant To leave me scared of losing you? What if I could hold somebody Without losing what I'm worth, too? I keep calling this devotion Every time I swallow pain But if love is just an open wound Why do I keep choosing it again? I'd stay through every winter Just to feel you once in a while. Maybe this is love Leaving every light on For someone who's already gone Giving you my everything While I'm barely holding on Maybe this is love Or a heart that can't give up I kept calling this forever While you slowly gave me up If this is love… Why am I so lonely? If this is love… Why does it hurt like goodbye? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💔 *HAVE YOU EVER FELT THIS WAY?* Have you ever held on to someone even when you knew they were slowly letting you go?
