Temporary

[Verse1]
I didn’t just lose you, I lost your whole world,
The laughter at dinner, the life I was learning to hold,
Little hands that reached for mine like I was home,
Now I’m grieving a family that was never my own.

[Verse2]
And your mom made me feel like I finally belonged,
Like I wasn’t just passing through, like I wasn’t wrong,
That kind of love doesn’t disappear when you’re gone,
It stays in the places I can’t move on from.

[Pre-Chorus]
You called it love, but it felt like a race,
I was building a life, you were leaving no trace,
Thought we were forever, but you had no plan,
Now I’m left here piecing together what I can.

[Chorus]
So I’m not building homes anymore for people who pass through,
Not turning temporary into something I call true,
You were never forever—you were only ever “for now,”
And I’m finally learning how to lay the weight down.

[Bridge]
I already carried a goodbye no one else could see,
A life that didn’t stay with me still lives inside of me,
And you spoke of new beginnings like it could replace the past,
But some endings don’t get fixed by promises you can’t last.

[Outro]
So I’m rewriting my heart, line by line,
Not yours anymore… just mine.
I don’t lose families when you walk away,
I lose the illusion I was holding onto every day.
