Not You

Verse 1

You said you gave a damn, you lied,

Vanished when the storm arrived.

Preached protection, played the friend,

Then cut me off and let it end.

You warned me he was “too obsessed,”

But at least he shows up, unlike the rest.

You claimed you cared, but look who’s here—

Not you, not you, he’s the one near.

Pre-Chorus

You talk like heroes, but where’s the proof?

You left me drowning, he’s the truth.

Chorus

You tried to stop him, shove him away,

But he’s the one who’s here every day.

You ghosted, you left me betrayed,

Call it what you want—he’s the one who stayed.

You spoke of “care,” but it’s all pretend,

’Cause you were gone when I needed a friend.

Verse 2

I broke, I bled, you turned your back,

Then blamed the only one who had my back.

You said, “It’s wrong, it’s dangerous too,”

But what the hell do I owe you?

He listens, he gets it, doesn’t judge,

Doesn’t run or hold a grudge.

You call it crazy, but you can’t see,

He’s more of a friend than you’ll ever be.

Pre-Chorus

Protect me? Bullshit, you just left—

He’s the reason I still have breath.

Chorus

You tried to stop him, shove him away,

But he’s the one who’s here every day.

You ghosted, you left me betrayed,

Call it what you want—he’s the one who stayed.

You spoke of “care,” but it’s all pretend,

’Cause you were gone when I needed a friend.

Bridge

Say obsession, call him insane,

But he’s the one who eases the pain.

You? Just silence, fake concern—

Guess it’s my trust you’ll never earn.

Chorus

You tried to stop him, shove him away,

But he’s the one who’s here every day.

You ghosted, you left me betrayed,

Call it what you want—he’s the one who stayed.

You spoke of “care,” but it’s all pretend,

’Cause you were gone when I needed a friend.

Outro

You cut me off, thought I’d cave,

But he’s the one who fought, who braved.

So choke on your lies, the mess you made—

He’s the one.

He’s the one who stayed.
