Verse 1
I let you in where no one goes
Showed you the cracks I never showed
You held my hand, said you understood
But sometimes the cruelest cuts come dressed in good
You knew the soft spots, knew the past
Still lit the match and watched it crash
It’s not the strangers that break me down
It’s the voices I trusted that echo now
⸻
Chorus
It’s the ones you love the most
That leave the deepest scars
The ones who swore they’d stay
Now feel the farthest far
And I don’t hate you — that’s the truth
But I’m bleeding from the faith I gave to you
It’s the ones you love the most
That teach you what pain can do
⸻
Verse 2
You said forever like it cost you none
But promises are easy when you’re on the run
And I still replay the things you said
Trying to unhear what’s in my head
I could’ve stayed bitter, could’ve built a wall
But I’ve learned that silence doesn’t heal it all
So I speak my truth in trembling tones
And walk this road a little more alone
⸻
Chorus
It’s the ones you love the most
That leave the deepest scars
The ones who saw you break
And still walked out that door
And I don’t curse you — I’m too tired for blame
But I’m changed now, and I’ll never love the same
It’s the ones you love the most
That show you what trust became
⸻
Bridge
But I won’t turn to stone, won’t lose my soul
Won’t let your hurt be what makes me cold
I’ll carry the wound, I’ll wear the ache
But I’ll still give love — though now I take
A little more time, a little more care
With who I let in, and why they’re there
⸻
Final Chorus
It’s the ones you love the most
Who shape the way you heal
They break you open
And show you what’s real
And though I cried for what we lost
I’ve found a softer kind of strength in cost
Yeah, it’s the ones you love the most
That teach you how deep love goes
