Not What You Said

Intro

(distant vocal, filtered)

It wasn’t what you said
It was how easy it was to say it

⸻

Verse

You smiled like everything was fine
Like this wasn’t a turning point
I caught the pause before your words
That split second of choice

You said “I’m just figuring things out”
Like I wasn’t part of the math
Guess I was something temporary
You didn’t plan to unpack

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I didn’t need a goodbye
Didn’t need a fight
Just needed to know
When you stopped trying

⸻

Drop / Chorus

(melodic lead replaces big vocal)

It wasn’t what you said
It was how calm you sounded
Like letting me go
Was already decided

I was still holding on
You were already free
It wasn’t what you said
It was what it did to me

⸻

Verse 2

Your name still lights up my phone
But it doesn’t feel like home
Funny how someone can leave
Without ever going

I replay the moment I knew
Right after you said “we’re good”
You meant you’ll be okay
I misunderstood

⸻

Bridge

(nearly empty)

You didn’t lie
You just didn’t stay

⸻

Final Drop / Outro

(short, emotional, clean)

It wasn’t what you said
It was how easy it was to walk away
