(Verse 1)

You looked me dead in the face and said “it’s only you”

While your silence told a story I already knew

I wasn’t guessing, I was learning the pattern

Love in your mouth, but your actions were scattered

I kept trying to turn truth into trust

But trust don’t grow where it’s built on dust

And I stayed too long trying to translate

Something that never communicated straight

(Pre-Chorus)

I stopped arguing with what I could see

Stopped rewriting reality to keep you with me

And it hurt more than I thought it would

To admit I understood what I shouldn’t have understood

(Chorus)

I saw it clear, I didn’t want to

But clarity doesn’t ask what I want to

You said “only me,” but I felt the divide

In every place you learned to hide

And I didn’t break when the truth arrived

I broke when I realized I survived

Something I kept calling love

While it was quietly not enough

(Verse 2)

I caught the moments you thought I’d miss

Folded secrets in a double life’s kiss

Three times over, same mistake

And I kept calling it something I could take

But pain has a limit it finally shows

When you’re the only one who doesn’t know

And I wasn’t blind, I was holding hope

Like it could turn poison into a rope

(Bridge)

I don’t hate you the way I used to

I just stopped believing what I was told to

And that shift, quiet and slow

Was the first time I started to go

(Final Chorus)

I saw it clear, I didn’t want to

But truth has a way of walking right through you

And I’m still here, but I’m not the same

I stopped playing a losing game

If love is real, it doesn’t divide

It doesn’t hide in another life

And I finally learned to let go

Of the version I wanted to know
