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
