When you had me

Verse 1

A woman’s body knows

When she ain’t the only one you’re touching

Her intuition whispers truths

Before the proof starts coming

I felt distance in your hands

Even when you held me close

You were laying next to me

But somehow felt like a ghost

And it’s crazy how you gave your energy

To everybody else but me

Comforting other women

While your own girl could barely breathe

Pre-Chorus

Sometimes you gotta send a man back

To the women he’s used to

’Cause some men only realize your worth

The second they lose you

Chorus

You cheated — and I stayed

You lied — and I stayed

Looking back now

That was loyalty

I should’ve never gave away

You saw me

Had to have me

Got me

Then stopped trying for me

You hurt me

Then expected me to stay the same

Still loving

Still loyal

When you couldn’t even do the same

So don’t come reaching for me

When I finally walk away

You couldn’t love me when you had me

You don’t get to love me once I’m gone

⸻

Verse 2

I ignored every red flag

Just to keep us together

Kept convincing myself

Maybe things would get better

You got comfortable with pain

Like my tears would always dry

Like I’d keep forgiving you

Every single time you lied

You got used to my patience

Used to hearing “it’s okay”

But healing taught me something—

Love shouldn’t feel this way

Pre-Chorus

Now I see the truth clearer

I was fighting this alone

You kept searching for attention

While neglecting what was home

Chorus

You cheated — and I stayed

You lied — and I stayed

Looking back now

That was loyalty

I should’ve never gave away

You saw me

Had to have me

Got me

Then stopped trying for me

You hurt me

Then expected me to stay the same

Still loving

Still loyal

When you couldn’t even do the same

So don’t come reaching for me

When I finally walk away

You couldn’t love me when you had me

You don’t get to love me once I’m gone

⸻

Bridge

Now you calling late night

Saying I’m the one you need

But where was all this effort

When my heart was on its knees?

You don’t miss me

You miss access

You miss knowing I’d remain

But I can’t keep setting myself on fire

Just to keep you warm through your pain

⸻

Final Chorus / Outro

You cheated — and I stayed

But I won’t this time

No more losing pieces of myself

Just to keep you in my life

You had me

You lost me

That’s something you can’t undo

And one day you’ll feel

What it’s like

To give real love away too

You couldn’t love me when you had me…

So you don’t get to love me when I’m gone
