[Verse]
I used to look for signs
Small things getting better
I used to pay attention
To the way you said my name
I waited for moments
That never repeated
Kept thinking tomorrow
Would feel different
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing ever broke
Nothing ever grew
That’s the kind of quiet
That wears on you
[Chorus]
I didn’t leave
I stopped expecting
Stopped looking
For something new
I didn’t give up
I just accepted
This is what life
Feels like with you
[Verse]
I stopped asking questions
Stopped bringing things up
Stopped watching the clock
For something to change
Days started blending
Into the same shape
And I stopped noticing
The weight of the routine
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a difference
Between patience and done
I crossed that line
Without saying it to anyone
[Chorus]
I didn’t leave
I stopped expecting
No more waiting
For things to turn
I didn’t lose hope
All at once
It just got quiet
And never returned
[Bridge]
I thought love meant staying
Through every season
But staying gets heavy
When nothing moves
And the hardest part
About giving up hope
Is nobody knows
When you do
[Build]
Everything steady
Everything still
[Final Chorus]
I didn’t leave
I stopped expecting
Stopped believing
In something more
I’m still here
Still standing
But I don’t wait
For anything anymore
[Outro]
Sometimes the end
Isn’t leaving
It’s when hope
Doesn’t come back
