Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
You came wrapped in frost, eyes colder than a December dawn
Words slipped past like knives through silence
Like I was a secret lost before it began
Like my hands held nothing but shadows
[Pre-Chorus]
And you spoke low, as if breaking was a quiet thing
"This was never love"
"Just a signature on a thin line"
Two names signed under a weight nothing felt
"Don’t look so desperate"
As if longing was something to hide
As if my tears were an unspoken sin
I should have seen the prayer slipping from your hands
[Chorus]
Paper promises folded, burned in the dark
I’m done tracing empty words with trembling heart
No more cracks to fill, no more lies to catch
I’m choosing silence, choosing myself at last
[Verse 2]
I wore white not for forever, but for a script I couldn't change
Whispered vows shaking, while you were gone before the last goodbye
You said “clingy” to the hands that tried to hold your weight
Called it “too much” when all I had was everything
[Pre-Chorus]
But the One who writes in stars knows better tales
Than whispered myths passed on from cracked lips
If I was just a question, then Alhamdulillah for the test
I’m folding up the pages not meant to tell my story
[Chorus]
Paper promises folded, burned in the dark
I’m done tracing empty words with trembling heart
No more cracks to fill, no more lies to catch
I’m choosing silence, choosing myself at last
[Bridge]
I used to paint our sky with prayers for us
Now my prayers bend only toward peace and truth
Ya Allah, soften the wound, open doors I can walk through
Replace the ache with someone who chooses me too
[Chorus]
Paper promises folded, burned in the dark
I’m done tracing empty words with trembling heart
No more cracks to fill, no more lies to catch
I’m choosing silence, choosing myself at last
[Outro]
So call it what you want — deal or mistake
I’m no shadow in stories you couldn’t take
No more scars from promises never meant
I’m breathing again, my heart’s unbent
This was never love, and I’m okay with that
