They taught me…
They taught me…
Verse
They say you gotta learn the rules before you play
Silence is power, and love’s a shame
If you feel it first, then you lose the race
So I keep my heart locked far
(So far away)
My thumb’s hovering over truth
Like it’s something I’m not allowed to do
I miss when wanting wasn’t weak
Now I practice distance in my sleep
[Pre-Chorus ]
Every message is a mirror
Shows me who I’m scared to be
I’m not cold, I’m just afraid
You’ll see how much you mean to me
(You’ll see)
( how much you mean to me)
[Chorus]
They taught me how to not care
How to leave before I’m there
How to love without being seen
How to bleed invisibly
We don’t break, we disappear
Call it space, call it fear
I don’t ghost you ‘cause I don’t feel
I ghost you ‘cause it feels too real
[Post-Chorus / drop
Not cause I dont feel, it just feels too real
[Verse 2 ]
Everyone’s seems temporary now
Even forever is on trial somehow
We trade our souls for entertainment
And call it chemistry, call it arrangement
We flirt like we’re not even here
Keep score, keep love unclear
Nobody says “stay” no more
We just hope the other knows
[Pre-Chorus ]
I don’t know how to be soft
Without turning into a wound
So I play indifferent
Like it makes me immune
[Chorus]
They taught me how to not care
How to leave before I’m there
How to love without being seen
How to bleed invisibly
We don’t break, we disappear
Call it space, call it fear
I don’t ghost you ‘cause I don’t feel
I ghost you ‘cause I feel too real
( not cause I don’t feel,cause It feels too real)
[Bridge]
What if love isn’t broken
Just hiding from all the noise?
What if we’re all still children
Only scared to use our voice?
I’d rather lose you honestly
Than keep you through a lie
But honesty feels reckless
In a world that rewards goodbye
( a world that rewards goodbye)
Final Chorus
They taught me how to not care
How to leave before I’m there
How to love without being seen
How to bleed invisibly
We don’t break, we disappear
Call it space, call it fear
I don’t ghost you ‘cause I don’t feel
I ghost you ‘cause it feels too real
( its not cause I don’t feel, cause It feels too real)
