[Verse 1]
You say you'll call, but the silence stays
Another promise fades into yesterday
I wait around, like I always do
But I'm startin’ to see I'm not waitin' for you
You talk about love like it’s carved in stone
But when I reach out, I feel alone
I show up for you in every way
But you disappear when it’s my turn to break
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't keep pretending it's fine
When I'm the only one holdin' the line
[Chorus]
It’s not the same, it’s not the same
I give my heart, you play a game
You bend the rules and change the frame
But still expect me not to change
I’m breaking down while you look away
You say we’re good, but I feel the strain
If this is love, then why’s it feel like pain?
It’s not the same... it’s not the same
[Verse 2]
You say you’ll try, but it’s always “later”
And I’m tired of being the giver, the waiter
You hold me to the words I say
But yours just drift and float away
I'm not perfect, I know that well
But I bleed for us, can’t you tell?
I hurt in places I can't explain
While you carry on like nothing’s changed
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm so damn tired of the fight
Of loving someone who sleeps through the night
[Chorus]
It’s not the same, it’s not the same
I’m the fire, you’re the flame
That flickers out when things get hard
But I still chase your fading spark
I'm drowning deep in what we made
While you just float and drift away
If this keeps up, we’ll break, we may
‘Cause it’s not the same... it’s not the same
[Bridge]
I used to think love meant holding on
But now I wonder if I’ve been wrong
‘Cause love’s not love when it’s one-way
And hearts don’t heal when they bend that way
[Final Chorus]
It’s not the same, it’s not the same
You say the words, but I feel the shame
Of loving more, of losing ground
Of screaming loud without a sound
If you won’t fight, then why should I stay?
I need more than "maybe someday"
If we don't change, we'll lose this flame
‘Cause it’s not the same... no, it’s not the same
