The Space Between Our Names

Lyrics

You used to be my morning light
The name I whispered into sleep
But now your voice is just a sound
That I no longer try to keep

You held me once like I was whole
Now I flinch at how you speak
I trace the path we walked so far
And wonder how the ground got weak

After so long, how can it be
That I don’t trust you anymore?
We built a house with open hands
But left the keys outside the door
Now silence is our mother tongue
And memory a closing score
After so long…
I don’t trust you anymore

You say you’ve changed — and maybe you have
But I’m not the one to prove it to
My soul got tired of guessing games
Of bleeding just to comfort you

I used to bend until I broke
Now I just stand and let you go
Not out of hate — but from the truth
That love can’t breathe where shadows grow

After so long, how can it be
That I don’t trust you anymore?
I read your words, I feel the ache
But peace is not a metaphor
It’s earned in steps, in quiet days
Not promises from nights before
After so long…
I don’t trust you anymore

And maybe that’s okay — to name the break
Not as an end, but a place to start
To let you go with open eyes
And take back the pieces of my heart

After so long, this is what’s real
Not rage, not blame, not keeping score
Just standing still with open hands
And walking back through my own door
I hope you heal — I really do
But I’m not yours like I was before
After so long…
I don’t trust you anymore
