Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You walked in with his eyes

Same crooked smile he wears in old photos

They called it fate

Called it surprise

Like some lost page they’d been waiting to quote

Mom passed you the stories

He never told when I was small

You got front-row to his glory

I’m still pressed up to the wall

[Pre-Chorus]

You say “I’m scared

I don’t belong”

I say “me too

Been here all along”

Different doors

Same house

How do I say this out loud?

[Chorus]

You get the love I begged for

All the open arms I dreamed

You’re the proof I wasn’t crazy

That he could give what I need

I should hate you but I don’t

I’m just standing in the breach

You get the love I begged for

And it cuts where I can’t reach

[Verse 2]

They toast to “second chances”

Like the first one never bled

They frame your school picture

Mine stay stacked under the bed

He learns your favorite color

Writes it down

So he won’t forget

I’m counting all the summers

He never once bothered to check

[Pre-Chorus]

You say “he’s trying

Give him time”

I smile sharp and say “it’s fine”

Different clocks

Same year

You’re just getting what I feared

[Chorus]

You get the love I begged for

Every proud word I rehearsed

All the late-night conversations

That I only heard in verse

I should hate you but I don’t

I just bruise where you can’t see

You get the love I begged for

And it empties out of me

[Bridge]

I don’t blame your beating heart

You didn’t choose this missing part

You’re just the proof he always had more to give

I’m the echo in the hall

I’m the name he doesn’t call

Learning how to live

[Chorus]

You get the love I begged for

And I hope it heals your bones

If one of us walks away whole

Let it be you going home

I still ache for what I lost

But I won’t pass you this grief

You get the love I begged for

I’ll learn to be my own relief
