Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 You hit me with a “hope you’re good” at 10:32 Like a bandage on a bullet hole was all you had to do I put whole damn storms inside a one-word text for you Spent more heart in “thanks” than half the world ever knew You used to call me just to breathe and tell me everything Now I learn your life in fragments, secondhand and in-between I keep shrinking to a version you can stand to see Turned myself down to a whisper so you wouldn’t leave Pre-Chorus You reach when the walls cave in When the fear gets loud, when the dark rolls in But the second the air gets thin enough to breathe You let go of me Chorus You loved me in emergencies Not enough to build a life Called me when the world went black Never in the morning light I was home when you were breaking Never who you chose outright You loved me in emergencies Not enough to build a life Verse 2 You called before the surgery, voice shaking in the dark Said if I took that bet I’d lose, then put my name back in your heart I said no matter what, I love you, you said you loved me too Then my birthday came and went like I was nothing new I know you feel me in the shadows, in the panic, in the pain I know my voice still finds you when your whole chest fills with rain But I can’t live on crisis, I can’t survive on almosts Can’t keep being your safe place while you treat me like a ghost Pre-Chorus You reach when the walls cave in When your hands shake hard, when you need my skin But the second the ground gets still under your feet You stop choosing me Chorus You loved me in emergencies Not enough to build a life Called me when the world went black Never in the morning light I was home when you were breaking Never who you chose outright You loved me in emergencies Not enough to build a life Bridge I turned myself down to low So you could stand the sound of me Held back every wound I had Just to keep you close to me You say closeness cuts too deep That love feels like a knife Guess I was good enough to stop the bleeding Not enough to build a life You kept me warm inside your fear Cold when you were fine I was your almost, your in-between Your “maybe” all this time You knew exactly what I felt You just could not survive A love that asked for daylight Not just shelter for the night Final Chorus You loved me in emergencies Not enough to build a life Called me when the world went black Never in the morning light I was home when you were breaking Never who you chose outright You loved me in emergencies Not enough to build a life Outro So don’t tell me that you miss me If you only miss me in the fire I was good enough to save you Never good enough to be desired Now I know your silence better Than I ever knew your eyes You loved me in emergencies Not enough to build a life
