Going Through the Motions Put

I took the highway past your exit. Didn't feel the urge to turn. The streetlights blur like slow decisions. Something shifted, now I learn. Your name comes up, I keep on scrolling. No reaction, just the glow. This apartment feels much bigger Since I let the feeling go. I'm not angry, I'm not hurt. Just somewhere new I can't explain. The weight is lifting off my shoulders like Forgetting how to claim. I'm going through the motions now, But motions feel like peace. No drama in the silence, Just a slow and sweet release. I'm going through the motions now, And motions set me free. No turning back to find you, Just the road ahead of me. I meet someone, we talk for hours. I don't compare them to your face. The music plays, I'm really listening, Not searching for your trace. My friends say that I seem lighter. I just shrug and say I'm fine. But fine feels like a destination I never thought That I would find. I'm not running, I'm not lost. Just somewhere calm I couldn't see. The city looks a little softer Now that you're a memory. I'm going through the motions now, But motions feel like peace. No drama in the silence, Just a slow and sweet release. I'm going through the motions now, And motions set me free. No turning back to find you, Just the road ahead of me. I thought I'd feel the absence more, But all I feel is room To breathe without the questions that would fill up Every room. I'm going through the motions, And the motions feel like home. I'm going through the motions, Finally good With being alone.
