Intro

Funny how it works out

You give everything

and still figure it out alone

No warning, no signs, just silence

Left with thoughts I can’t ignore

⸻

Verse 1

I gave everything I had, I won’t deny that

Every time you needed me, I’d be right back

Put you first, never thought about myself

Now I’m looking back like I lost myself

You were taking what you needed, I was blind to it

Thought it was love but you never tried for it

I was fixing things you broke every time

Now I see it clear, you were never mine

I kept showing up when it weren’t returned

Now I’m sitting here with a lesson learned

Gave you everything that I had in me

Now I see you never did the same for me

Stayed solid even when it felt one-sided

Now I see the truth, I can’t hide it

⸻

Pre-Chorus

It’s mad how it changes when you see the truth

All the things you ignored start revealing you

I was giving my all, you were doing less

Now I’m sitting here thinking I deserved better

⸻

Chorus

I gave my all, you gave me reasons

Now I sit back, I just read it different

Less reacting, more observing

See it clearer now I’m learning

I gave my heart, you gave me lessons

Now I move smart, no second guessing

Less reacting, more observing

That’s the difference, that’s my version

⸻

Verse 2

I was there when it mattered, I remember that

When I needed something back, where were you at?

Funny how it works when the roles reverse

Now I see the pattern and it kind of hurts

I was trying to talk but you never listened

Now I see the truth in a different vision

All the things I tried just to make it right

Now I see you never really tried to fight

I don’t force things, I let them show

If it’s real, it stays — if not, it goes

Now I sit back and I watch it clear

See who’s real when they’re standing near

I don’t chase what don’t choose me

That’s the version that I grew to be

⸻

Bridge

Had to sit back just to see it clear

All the signs were there but I kept you near

Now I don’t chase what don’t chase me

I just watch how people move around me

⸻

Chorus

I gave my all, you gave me reasons

Now I sit back, I just read it different

Less reacting, more observing

See it clearer now I’m learning

⸻

Outro

I don’t react

I observe

That’s the difference now
