Old Country Tapes - Still My Forever - Lyla Harrison

Описание: With a voice shaped by honesty and restraint, Lyla Harrinson delivers a song about walking away from a love that looked perfect, but never felt true. This isn’t a breakup fueled by anger — it’s a quiet reckoning, the moment when clarity finally outweighs nostalgia.

Lyla sings from the space where reflection meets resolve, turning shared memories into something gentler and stronger: self-recognition. Every line carries the weight of years spent trying, hoping, and slowly realizing that love shouldn’t require losing yourself.

Rooted in classic country storytelling, this song speaks to anyone who’s ever missed the idea of someone more than the person they truly were.

🎶 Female vocal • Emotional country • Honest storytelling
💔 For those who chose truth over pretending

Verse 1
I learned your moods like changing weather
Read your eyes before you spoke
Built my days around your comfort
Tied my hope to every joke
We smiled for friends on Sunday evenings
Played our parts like it was true
But every dream I kept surrendering
Left me further from my youth

Verse 2
I folded love into excuses
Said “that’s just the way you are”
Polished cracks into illusions
Called the bruises growing scars
I wore your name like it was shelter
But it never kept me warm
I was bending, you were standing
Letting years just drift and form

Chorus
Now the house breathes without pretending
And the mirror knows my name
I don’t ache for what we almost were
Or the man you never became
I laid down the life I chased so long
When the truth finally broke through
I don’t miss the girl I was back then
Since I stopped believing in you

[Instrumental]

Verse 3
I walked out lighter than I entered
Though my hands were full of pain
Left behind a careful future
That was built on looking safe
I won’t curse you, won’t rewrite it
You were honest in your way
But I won’t trade the woman I am now
For the love I couldn’t save

Chorus
Now the house breathes without pretending
And the mirror knows my name
I don’t ache for what we almost were
Or the man you never became
I laid down the life I chased so long
When the truth finally broke through
I don’t miss the girl I was back then
Since I stopped believing in you
