Break Me

Say what you want, I still stay here

Even when your words cut too near

You don’t gotta lie, I already know

I was never someone you chose

Tell me I’m nothing, I don’t move

I still come back like I got something to prove

Even when it hurts, I don’t let go

I stay too long where I don’t belong

I was never in your world like that

Just a shadow you never looked back at

I made it bigger than it ever was

Now I’m stuck inside what I caused

You read my message but don’t reply

I still wait like I don’t know why

Every silence feels like a sign

That I was never on your mind (your mind…)

⸻

Break me down, I’ll stay the same

Say my name like it’s just a game

I don’t even fight it anymore

I still come back for more

Break me down, I don’t mind

As long as I’m still on your mind

Even if it hurts too much

I still come back for your touch (your touch…)

I keep staring at my phone again

Like maybe this time you’ll let me in

But it stays quiet every night

And I still pretend it feels alright (alright…)

⸻

You talk like I was never real

Like I was never something you’d feel

And I act like that’s okay with me

But I still replay everything

Maybe I built it out of air

Maybe you were never there

But it feels too real to let it go

Even when I already know

I check the time, I check the screen

Like something’s there I haven’t seen

But it never changes how it is

I’m just stuck inside this

And I hate that I still stay close

To something I already lost

But distance feels worse than pain

So I stay stuck in the same place again

⸻

I was never in your plans

Never in your hands

Just a moment that passed

That I turned into something that lasts

I was never in your view

Never close to you

But I still act like I was

Just because I want to

⸻

Break me down, I’ll stay the same

Say my name like it’s just a game

I don’t even fight it anymore

I still come back for more

Break me down, I don’t mind

As long as I’m still on your mind

Even if I lose myself

I still show up like nobody else

I was never in competition

Never even in position

I just stayed too close

To something I already lost

And I still wait like I’m supposed to

Even though I know the truth

I was never in your world

I was just passing through (through…)
