Lyrics
Verse 1
I cancelled every plan just to be your 1 a.m. call
I held your shaky hands, I fed your ego ’till you forgot what it’s like to starve
I was your sanctuary, the altar where you’d bleed
I gave up my light just to shine it on you
And after all the “always,” and after all the “yes”
You look me in the eye and call this “selfishness”
It’s a masterclass in betrayal, a cold and calculated lie
To take everything I have and then ask me why I try
Pre-Chorus
I’m gasping for air while you’re calculating my defeat
I’m the one bleeding while you’re showing your claws
You’re killing the only person who would’ve died for you
Chorus
You call me obsessed ’cause you can’t handle the care
You call me insane ’cause you know I was there
When nobody wanted you, when you were at your low
I was the only home you ever got to know
And now you’re spitting fire, trying to burn my name
But you’re just a small soul with a very big shame
Verse 2
I’ve always had this fever, this need to make things right
To be the one who stays and fixes everyone’s life
My friends sat me down, said this isn’t healthy, dear
They saw the red flags waving, but I refused to hear
I thought if I loved you enough, you’d finally learn to feel
I was betting on a mirage, hoping you’d start to care
But you were never home
Even when you were there
Hook
I saw a saint in the heart of a thief
Turning my love into your personal relief
You call me insane ’cause I saw through the mask
Loving you was a holy but thankless task
Chorus
You call me obsessed ’cause you can’t handle the care
You call me insane ’cause you know I was there
And now you’re spitting fire, trying to burn my name
But you’re just a small soul with a very big shame
Verse 3
I tried to explain my heart, I used every single word
But I was speaking to a wall, I was never even heard
You weaponized my tears, turned my empathy into a crime
Just so you could sleep comfortably at night
Then you traded your dignity for a cheap shot in the dark
Spitting those slurs just to draw my blood
Now you’re lost at sea
Shivering in the cold of your own pride
Bridge
Did it make you feel powerful, did it make you feel tall
To scream those words after I gave you my all?
It’s not obsession, it’s a loyalty you’ll never understand
A ghost you’ll keep chasing in every other land
I’m not the crazy one for loving you through the mess
You’re the crazy one for thinking I’d take anything less
Chorus
You call me obsessed ’cause you can’t handle the care
You call me insane ’cause you know I was there
And now I’m walking away, watch me burn the name
Of a very small soul with a very big shame
Yes, a very big shame
Outro
I was the miracle you didn’t deserve
Now you’re just a void I’m not gonna serve
I’m washing my spirit clean from your quiet blood
You’re not a tragedy
You’re not even a regret
You’re just the smallest soul
I haven’t forgotten
Yet
