I don’t know when I became a shape in your mind

Something you could hold and leave behind

You said my silence had a meaning you could break

But I was never yours to take

You called it closeness, I called pressure in my chest

I wasn’t made from your questions, I was your test

I move through you like something undefined

You never really read my lines

I don’t need your halo over my head

I need you to hear what I never said

Don’t love me louder, love me true

I’m already breaking next to you

I’m not the shape you try to hold

I fall apart before I’m told

If you can’t feel what I can’t show

Then don’t come closer, let me go

I’d rather lose myself completely

Than disappear just so you keep me

You painted meaning on my skin

But never saw what lived within

Your gravity pulled way too close

While I let go of what I was

I spoke in cracks you turned to gold

But never held me as a whole

I don’t belong inside your frame

I break every time you say my name

I don’t need roses carved in stone

I need a place where I’m fully known

Don’t love me louder, love me true

I’m already breaking next to you

I’m not the shadow you define

I fade somewhere between the lines

If you can’t feel what I can’t show

Then don’t come closer, let me go

I’d rather lose myself completely

Than disappear just so you keep me

Strip it back, take it all away

I was never yours to stay

Not every heart survives the weight

Some just bend until they break

Don’t love me louder, love me true

I’m already breaking next to you

I’m not the shape you try to save

I’m something slipping out your frame

If you can’t feel what I can’t show

Then let me fall, just let me go

I’d rather lose myself completely

Than disappear just so you keep me

Maybe I was never meant

To be everything you said

Every word you never knew

Still lives somewhere inside of you
