Don’t say it like that

You said it like it was nothing
Like it wouldn’t get to me
Like I wouldn’t hear your voice
Sound different suddenly

And I hate that I noticed
Every little change in tone
Like I knew before you said it
I wasn’t the only one

⸻

Pre-Chorus
And I don’t even know why it hurts like this
It shouldn’t matter, but it does

⸻

Chorus
So don’t say it like that
Like I’m just someone you tell things to
Like I’m not the one who’s been
Right here next to you

And I don’t know what this is
But I know it’s not the same
‘Cause the second you said her name
Everything just changed

⸻

Verse 2
I tried to act like I’m fine
Like I don’t care at all
But it’s stuck in every word
Every silence, every pause

And you keep getting closer
Like nothing’s even wrong
But I don’t know how to stand here
And pretend I’m still as strong

⸻

Pre-Chorus
Why do I feel like I’m losing you
When you’re right in front of me?

⸻

Chorus
So don’t say it like that
Like I don’t mean anything more
Like I’m just some place you go
When you get bored

And I don’t know what this is
But I can’t just play pretend
‘Cause it hurts more than it should
For you to be with someone else instead

⸻

Bridge (fight → breaking point)
You don’t get it
You don’t see it
You act like this is nothing

But it’s everything
And I hate it
‘Cause I don’t know what I’m feeling

And you’re standing way too close
For this to just be us
And I don’t know if I should leave
Or if I should say too much

⸻

(Soft drop before final chorus — the kiss moment energy)
Maybe I already did

⸻

Final Chorus (quieter, shaken)
So don’t say it like that
Like this doesn’t mean something
‘Cause I feel it every time
You look at me like that

And I don’t know what we are
Or what we’re supposed to be
But nothing feels the same anymore
And I don’t think it’s just me
