Why I Hurt Inside (v2)

Verse 1:
It doesn’t take much to break
Just one word, one small mistake
To tear down everything we made
We built walls where love once stayed
I gave you all I thought was right
Built you a home, gave up the fight
But maybe what I gave was flawed
Because in the end, you just withdrew

Chorus:
Tonight, I’ll dream you back to me
Searching for what I failed to see
Why I was left outside the flame
Just a ghost without a name
If I could know the truth, not hide
Maybe I’d know why I hurt inside

Verse 2:
This shell we share is hollow now
We’re scared to feel, don’t know how
You disappeared without a sign
And left the wreckage all behind
My trust was torn and never healed
A wound I never got to seal
I gave too much, or not enough
But silence always felt like a bluff

Chorus:
Tonight, I’ll dream you back to me
Searching for what I failed to see
Why I was left outside the flame
Just a ghost without a name
If I could know the truth, not hide
Maybe I’d know why I hurt inside

Bridge:
Is there a reason buried in the dream?
A broken thread split at the seam?
A flicker of where we went astray
Before it all was stripped away

Final Chorus:
Tonight, I’ll dream you back to me
Just to find what’s left of “we”
Why I was cast into the tide
Alone, erased, and pushed aside
If I could wake with peace, not pride
Then I’d know why
Why I hurt inside

Outro:
Maybe dreams will show the cost
Of everything we loved and lost
