———————————

I waited… I prayed…

I ran in circles, but the feeling stayed the same…

Then one day, it just… vanished.

And that’s when I knew—love don’t linger where it ain’t meant to be.

(where it aint meant to be~~~~)

I tried, I tried, but the feeling’s gone (uh)

I cried, I cried, but you moved on (yeah)

They lied, they lied, sayin’ you still care

But if you did, I’d know, and you’d be right here (right here)

Pages burned, lessons learned, bridges turned to ash

Took the long way, now I’m runnin’ through the aftermath

They tell me “She still want you,” I say “Where’s the proof?”

If love was alive, I’d feel it in the room

No texts, no calls, no midnight confessions

Just echoes of a ghost in my past reflections

I ain't chasin' a mirage, ain't stuck in the loop

She was gone long before I even knew

God, bring the one who’s meant to stay

Don’t let me beg for love that fades

I was lost, but I’m findin’ my way

Turn the page, let the past decay

I tried, I tried, but the feeling’s gone (uh)

I cried, I cried, but you moved on (yeah)

They lied, they lied, sayin’ you still care

But if you did, I’d know, and you’d be right here (be right here)

God, bring the one who’s meant to stay

Don’t let me beg for love that fades

I was lost, but I’m findin’ my way

Turn the page, let the past decay

Dead love, dead weight, let it rest in peace

No resurrection if it’s meant to cease

I been tryna hold on to a fantasy, but faith ain’t fiction, it’s clarity

No more strings, no more chains, no more waiting on a name

If love don’t chase, I won’t chase, let it fall into its place

God write the script, I ain’t flippin’ the page

What’s built on lies always fades in the flames (in the flames~~~)

What’s love, if the heart don’t move?

What’s trust, if it’s built on proof?

What’s pain, if it shapes my view?

What’s loss, if it led me to truth?

I don’t need to chase, I need to grow

I don’t need the past, I need control

Lost my way, but I found my soul

God took the loss, turned it into gold

Now I write my name in the breath I take

Turned my scars into steps, now I elevate

If love ain't here,

Then it's meant to be,

That the right one waits in destiny.
