Stitches

Stitches –© Nick Torres 8-19-2025

I closed the door softly, unlike the others before
I loved you once, I think I loved the comfort more
No matter how you try, sometimes it never grows
I’m walking out the door
With the pieces of me you thought you owned

PRE-CHORUS
Goodbye isn’t the wound
Goodbye is the stitches
So the cut can heal, slow

CHORUS
Now the silence won’t define us
like we’d been talking for years
and finally ran out of things to say.
quietly realized we couldn’t find a better way
Now I’m floating away
Like I let go of something heavy
Held it so long, like it was a contest
While you lost the best thing you never noticed
No letter…
no speech…
no cinematic walk away

VERSE
It wasn’t love, just a cage with nice curtains
These words were meant for love, we used them for hurting
I could hate you, but I don’t, that’s not me
You were the only you, you knew how to be

PRE-CHORUS
Goodbye isn’t the wound
Goodbye is the stitches
So the cut can heal, slow

CHORUS
Now the silence, won’t define us
like we’d been talking for years
and finally ran out of things to say.
quietly realized we couldn’t find a better way
Now I’m floating away
Like I let go of something heavy
Holding on to it like it was a contest
While you lost the best thing you never noticed
No letter…
no speech…
no cinematic walk away

OUTRO
the hardest part is finding the courage to go
finding the courage to go
