stay

I gave you all my trust, you gave me scars,

I built my world with you, then watched it fall apart,

You said forever like it wasn’t hard,

Now I’m alone at night just talking to the stars.

I wore your name like armor on my chest,

You wore a mask and hid behind your text,

I tried to love you more than all the rest,

But loving you just put my heart to the test.

I stayed real while you played games,

Said you loved me but you never stayed,

I held on while you slipped away,

Now I’m numb from all this pain.

I gave you my soul, you broke it in half,

I smiled for you while I drowned in the past,

You said you’d ride, but you never did last,

Now I’m alone with this heart full of cracks.

Late night thoughts, I’m pacing the floor,

Reading old messages, still wanting more,

You moved on like I meant nothing at all,

While I’m stuck picking pieces off the wall.

I made excuses just to keep you close,

Ignored the signs, yeah, I knew the most,

You loved attention, not my hope,

Left me bleeding from a silent overdose.

I stayed real while you played games,

Said you loved me but you never stayed,

I held on while you slipped away,

Now I’m numb from all this pain.

I gave you my soul, you broke it in half,

I smiled for you while I drowned in the past,

You said you’d ride, but you never did last,

Now I’m alone with this heart full of cracks.

If loving you is losing me,

Then maybe that’s my clarity,

I gave my all, my honesty,

You took it all and left me weak.

I gave you my soul, you broke it in half,

Turned all my love into memories and ash,

I’m learning to heal, I’m cutting the past,

Still human, still hurting, still built to last.
