Verse 1

There’s good hearts sleeping beside strangers

Smiling through disrespect and danger

They hold the house, they hold the line

While getting treated like overtime

They love too deep, they stay too long

Make excuses when it feels wrong

Getting blamed for the mess you made

Still showing up, still trying to stay

⸻

Pre-Chorus

You don’t say thank you

You don’t say please

You only notice them when you need

⸻

Chorus

Some people don’t deserve the love they’re given

They break good souls like it’s nothing

Cheat, neglect, take and abuse

Then act surprised when the love is used up

You don’t know what you got till it’s gone

Till the bed is cold and the lights stay on

Till the one who carried you finally leaves

And peace looks better than misery

⸻

Verse 2

You only call when the car’s upside down

Or the judge says sit your ass down

Or the doctor whispers “almost didn’t make it”

Now suddenly love ain’t complicated

But when they were bleeding quietly at home

You were too busy feeling grown

Too blind to see what you were losing

Too comfortable with always choosing you

⸻

Pre-Chorus

You didn’t protect them

Didn’t fight

Only begged when they packed that life

⸻

Chorus

Some people don’t deserve the love they’re given

They destroy a partner’s way of living

Strip their confidence, kill their light

Then cry when they won’t stay and fight

You don’t know what you got till it’s gone

Till forgiveness finally runs out

Till the strongest thing they ever did

Was walk away and choose themselves

⸻

Bridge (Spoken / Half-Sung)

Love ain’t supposed to feel like survival

And loyalty ain’t blind revival

If someone keeps breaking your mind

That ain’t love — that’s stealing time

You don’t miss them when you had them

You miss the way they saved you

And that’s the part that hurts the most

⸻

Final Chorus

Some people don’t deserve the love they’re given

They mistake patience for permission

You don’t lose love all at once

You lose it piece by piece, word by word, month by month

You don’t know what you got till it’s gone

Till there’s no one left to blame

And the only thing echoing back

Is the sound of your own mistakes

⸻

Outro

They didn’t leave because they stopped loving you

They left because you never did
