Lyrics

[VERSE 1]
We were good in the dark when the world felt distant
Two bodies learning all the ways we fit
You’d breathe my name like it meant commitment
Then wake up cold like none of it existed
I kept the nights where you held me honest
Tucked them in a place I never let myself touch
Thought the way you pulled me in was a promise
But it turns out it was only enough for us

[PRE-CHORUS]
You said you weren’t built for love
Said you couldn’t give that kind of trust
But you proved yourself wrong in someone else’s arms
And that’s what breaks the heart

[CHORUS]
Now I’m walking down Heartbreak Boulevard
Where the truth hits slow and the nights hit hard
I was giving you love in the shape of my scars
But you saved your whole heart for somebody else’s start
Yeah, I’m walking down Heartbreak Boulevard
Trying not to replay who we were in the dark
You said you couldn’t love, said it wasn’t who you are
But you learned how to feel
Once you left my heart

[VERSE 2]
You loved me best when you needed comfort
Worst when you thought I’d stay no matter what
I kept mistaking your warmth for something deeper
Didn’t see the distance hiding in your touch
Then you showed up glowing with someone new
Talking like you finally found your missing piece
And I realized you weren’t scared of love at all—
You were just scared of giving it to me

[PRE-CHORUS]
You said you weren’t built for love
Said you couldn’t give that kind of trust
But you proved yourself wrong in someone else’s arms
And that’s what breaks the heart

[CHORUS]
Now I’m walking down Heartbreak Boulevard
Where the truth hits slow and the nights hit hard
I was giving you love in the shape of my scars
But you saved your whole heart for somebody else’s start
Yeah, I’m walking down Heartbreak Boulevard
Trying not to replay who we were in the dark
You said you couldn’t love, said it wasn’t who you are
But you learned how to feel
Once you left my heart

[BRIDGE]
I thought the way you held me meant something real
I thought the way you kissed me meant you could feel
I thought the nights we shared were the start of a spark
But you saved your fire for somebody else’s heart

[VERSE 3]
I saw you last week with your hand in hers
Smiling like you never learned how to hurt
Funny how you said you weren’t made for love
But you look pretty built for it standing with her
And I’m not mad you found what I couldn’t reach
I’m just mourning the version of you I believed
Guess I was the stop on the way to your start
A warm place to rest while you waited for your heart

[FINAL CHORUS]
So I’m walking down Heartbreak Boulevard
Letting go slow, letting go hard
Every mile I move, I’m healing the part
That thought you’d choose me when you opened your heart
Yeah, I’m walking down Heartbreak Boulevard
Leaving behind who we were in the dark
You said you couldn’t love, said it wasn’t who you are
But you learned how to feel
Once you left my heart
