I Don't Ache Like I Used To

I used to flinch at your name

Like it carried knives

Now it's just noise in the rain

No longer keepin' me alive

I don't trace your face in strangers

Don't rewind the final fight

You were once my favorite danger

Now you're just a flickerin' light

I don't ache like I used to

Don't break like I used to

You were the wound I couldn't close

Now you're just a scar I chose

I don't ache like I used to

Don't shake like I used to

You were the storm I couldn't flee

Now you're just a memory

I used to drown in your silence

Beg for words you never sent

And now I breathe in the quiet

Like it's somethin' I defend

I'm not healed, but I'm not yours

Not bleedin' on your floor

I found peace in the wreckage

And I don't need you anymore

I don't ache like I used to

Don't break like I used to

You were the wound I couldn't close

Now you're just a scar I chose

I don't ache like I used to

Don't shake like I used to

You were the storm I couldn't flee

Now you're just a memory
