Why

You say you're fine but I can see you’re checkin’ out,

Talkin’ like a stranger with that distant kind of sound.

I’m standin’ right here tryna figure what you mean,

Your eyes are sayin’ things you’re tryna keep behind the screen.

You’re breakin’ me like branches even though you say you’re not,

And I’m just tryna understand the feeling that I got.

So tell me why you’re breaking up with me,

Why you leave me in the silence actin’ like you’re free.

Don’t say it’s all the same, I see you pull away,

I’m tired of all these games where you just fade.

So tell me why you’re breaking up with me,

Why your words fall heavy like they dropped from forty feet.

Just say it to my face before you leave.

Maybe you got different plans, maybe someone else you text,

Maybe you just needed reasons tryna make me feel like less.

I'm not tryna start a fight, it’s just your silence gets me hurtin’,

Everything we built together’s crackin’ like it’s nothin’ certain.

I thought that we could make it, but you don’t wanna make a move,

And now I'm standin' here the only one with something left to lose.

So tell me why you’re breaking up with me,

Why you leave me in the silence actin’ like you’re free.

Don’t say it’s all the same, I see you pull away,

I’m tired of all these games where you just fade.

So tell me why you’re breaking up with me,

Why your words fall heavy like they dropped from forty feet.

Just say it to my face before you leave.

And if there’s someone else around, just be real with me,

I can take it, I ain’t beggin’, I just need the honesty.

Give me sixty seconds, tell me what you feel inside,

I don’t want your heart forever, I just want the truth this time.

Tell me why…

Why I’m the one who’s carryin’ the weight you tried to hide.

Tell me why…

So I can let you go and finally stop the fight.
