Lyric

I was too late too many times

Lost my way, never found the signs

I wore my dreams like shoes too big

And somehow lost them in a blink

The men were promises made of glass

Shining bright but breaking fast

I drank to life, both sweet and dry

But bitter greetings passed me by

I’ve learned to walk away

Even when my heart stays

I stopped begging for replies

When silence fills the skies

I don’t laugh just out of duty—

But I don’t cry in the daylight, truly

The years speak soft but loud inside

They show you what you can’t rely

I wear my scars like vintage style

They match my smile—and sometimes, my eyes

And when the curtain falls with no applause

I’m still standing, though I’ve lost my cause

Because strength, my dear, isn’t always winning—

Sometimes it’s leaving with grace and meaning

I’ve learned to walk away

Not every road is mine to take

I’ve stopped seeing what won’t be

No longer chasing what can’t stay

I love quietly and true

But I don’t wait for answers from you
