Pencil Marks

Verse

You said my name like it meant something new,

Made me believe I could trust you.

We drew hearts on coffee cups,

Now those lines don’t mean much.

Pre-chorus

I should’ve known when you walked too fast,

Some things are never meant to last.

Chorus

You wrote my name in pencil, but it don’t last,

Like the way you loved me — it faded too fast.

You made it look like forever was real,

But it washed away with how you feel.

You wrote my name in pencil, but it didn't last.

Verse

You left your hoodie on my chair,

Your ghost still lingers in the air.

I replay your words on a loop,

Trying to erase the thought of you.

Pre-chorus

You drew me in, then walked away,

Now all your words have turned to grey.

Chorus

You wrote my name in pencil, but it don’t last,

Like the way you loved me — it faded too fast.

You made it look like forever was real,

But it washed away with how you feel.

You wrote my name in pencil, but it didn't last.

Bridge

Guess I was just your sketch, not your plan,

A phase you drew, then let slip through your hands.

Now I’m learning not to chase the past,

‘Cause pencil marks were never built to last.

Chorus

You wrote my name in pencil, but it don’t last,

You promised me love, then left so fast.

I’m done with maybes and broken lines,

This time the story’s mine.

You wrote my name in pencil, but it don’t last —

And I’m not fading back to that.

Outro

You wrote my name…

You wrote my name in pencil…

But it didn't last.
