Verse 1
You cracked the door with honesty,
One hour of warmth, I started to breathe.
You said the things I’d begged to hear,
Then vanished like it cost you to stay near.
Pre-Chorus
My heart said, “maybe he’s changing,”
My gut whispered, “don’t start.”
I hate how hope keeps outrunning
The lessons carved in scars.
Chorus
I fell for it again
Your voice, your calm, your one-hour pretend.
Now I’m here, checking my phone like a prayer,
Fighting the urge to care.
I’m mad at me for believing,
For letting you back in.
It’s the same damn pattern
You open up, then disappear again.
Verse 2
A week of silence after one night’s truth,
My nervous system pays for loving you.
You find your peace in running away,
I lose mine when you don’t stay.
Pre-Chorus 2
So I blocked the loop, cut the wire,
Trying to calm the constant fire.
It’s not revenge, it’s survival
Choosing quiet over denial.
Chorus
I fell for it again
Your softness, your almost-love pretend.
Now I’m here shaking off your ghost,
Learning not to self-defend.
I’m mad at me for believing,
For thinking this time it would mend.
Same damn pattern
You open up, then disappear again.
Bridge
I wanted closure, you wanted comfort,
I keep confusing the two.
Every time you reach for me,
I forget what silence can do.
Final Chorus
I fell for it again, but this time I’m done.
Blocked the loop, saved my lungs.
I can breathe without your ghost in my head
I’m not falling for almost love again.
