Existed for a Minute

Verse 1
There was a moment I believed I mattered
Your words felt warm, your touch felt true
For just one minute, I felt seen
Then denial took the room from you
Pre-Chorus
You used to look at me like I was enough
Now you only see me when you want my love
Chorus
I only existed when it served you
When you needed comfort, silence too
I disappeared when I had needs
Put my heart on mute, emotions on freeze
I only existed for a minute
But I paid for it long after that
Verse 2
Gin and Malibu replaced my name
They got the softness, I got the pain
You forgot the words, forgot the nights
But I remember every fight
Bridge
I stayed loyal while you strayed
Held the truth while you betrayed
Final Chorus
I no longer live for convenience
I won’t shrink just to keep the peace
I don’t cry over vows you meant to break
I choose myself, that’s the change I make
I only existed for a minute
Now I’m taking my life back

Outro
I exist. I matter. I deserve peace.
And I’m reclaiming myself—piece by piece
