Verse 1]
I still hear your laugh in quiet rooms
Like it never packed its bags and left
You’re a ghost that don’t slam doors behind
Just lingers in my chest
I love your blue eyes, the way you would argue me
Like every fight was just another way to lean
And somehow we always bent, never broke completely
Even all our friends could see
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
We were messy, loud, and honest
Like we didn’t know how not to be
And I swore in all that chaos
You were made to fit with me
⸻
[Chorus]
To the man who it truly is about—
I’m so happy you found your missing piece now
I see you smiling in a life I don’t fit in
And I swear I mean it… but I’m breaking underneath it
‘Cause you walked away whole, didn’t even see
You took something quiet and permanent from me
I hope she loves you like I couldn’t be
But why did you have to take a piece of me?
⸻
[Verse 2]
I don’t check your name like I used to
Don’t chase shadows down old streets
But every now and then I hear your song
And it drags me back to me
Yet I wasn’t the missing piece
Not the ending you were chasing
Just a chapter you outgrew
While I was still believing
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t want you back, don’t twist it
I just want back who I was
Before loving you felt like
Learning how to lose someone
⸻
[Chorus]
To the man who it truly is about—
I’m so happy you found your missing piece now
I see you laughing in a life I don’t belong
And I clap from the sidelines, but it feels so wrong
‘Cause you walked away fine, didn’t even see
You took something quiet and permanent from me
I hope she gives you everything you need
But why did you have to take a piece of me?
⸻
[Bridge – tone shifts, sharper, controlled fire]
And don’t worry Dice, this isn’t about you,
And if you thought it was… that’s embarrassing for you.
To the one who lied about loving someone—
Just know this song isn’t about you…
Or the fourteen-year-old you cheated on me with.
You don’t get a verse, you don’t get a melody
Just a footnote in a story you tried to rewrite of me
⸻
[Final Chorus – raw, open, almost breaking]
To the man who it truly is about—
I’m so glad you found your way out
And I hope she’s everything I couldn’t be
Everything you needed… everything but me
But somewhere in your perfect ending scene
There’s a version of me you’ll never see
Still standing where you left me incomplete—
Wondering why you took a piece of me
⸻
[Outro – quiet, steady]
Yeah…
This one was never about them.
It was always about you…
And what I lost trying to love you.
