I left you with a lie I told myself
Said I needed space, said I needed help
But it was pride, not peace I chased
Now all that’s left… is empty space
I scroll through photos I swore I’d delete
I still hear your laugh when I can’t sleep
Each night I kick beneath the sheets
A ghost fight I never win
(Remorse kick, the bed takes the hit
My pride talks big, but regrets won’t quit)
You moved on like I never mattered
But I break a little, every time I remember
That night, your face, the door I shut
I kicked you out — but it kicked me first
Remorse kick, right in the chest
I should’ve stayed, I should’ve said less
Now I dream of what I killed so quick
All I have left… is this remorse kick
You always said you needed air
So I opened the windows, but you weren’t there
I cried for weeks, then months grew wings
Now you’re just… one of those things
I see your name and I don’t feel
Not pain, not love, just something sealed
It’s not that I forgot the sting
I just stopped naming every ring
You thought I’d break, but I rebuilt
New memories poured into the guilt
You’re still stuck in your rewind trick
But I won’t flinch at your remorse kick
Remorse kick, it’s what I deserve
You chose the silence, now feel the curve
I scream alone to a version of you
But I’m not there — I’ve got nothing to prove
Remorse kick, it wakes me at night
You made your choice, now live with the bite
I’d give it all to hear you say my name
But you’re just somebody I overcame
"I thought I kicked you out…
but it was me who never left."
