You Wanted Me Less

Yeah, I met you when my heart was open, guards down

You was talking like a king, but you never wore a crown

I believed in every promise that you whispered late night

Ignored every red flag, tried to make the wrong right

I was riding for you heavy, put my needs on the shelf

Tried to fix all your problems, forgot fixing myself

You said “trust me,” I did, even when it hurt

Now I’m sifting through the truth from the dirt

I was loving you loud, you was loving on low

I was planning a future, you was just going with the flow

I gave you my loyalty, you gave me excuses

Called it love, but honestly, you abused it

Hook

I gave you my heart, you gave me regret

I gave you my time, you gave me neglect

Now I’m walking away with my head held high

You lost someone real, and that’s not on I

I’m stronger now, yeah, I finally see

You didn’t break me, you just set me free

Verse 2

Remember all the nights I cried, phone in my hand

Waiting for a call while you “didn’t understand”

Said you needed space, but you stayed too close

Close enough to hurt me, far enough to ghost

I made excuses for you like they were my job

Told my friends “he’s trying,” knowing he’s not

I shrank myself down just to fit your mood

Damn, I was starving just to keep you full

Now I see it clear, hindsight sharp as glass

You loved the attention, not the love I had

You wanted a woman when it was convenient

But disappeared when love needed commitment

Hook

I gave you my heart, you gave me regret

I gave you my time, you gave me neglect

Now I’m walking away with my head held high

You lost someone real, and that’s not on I

I’m stronger now, yeah, I finally see

You didn’t break me, you just set me free

Verse 3

Now you hitting my phone like “can we talk?”

Funny how you miss me now that I walked

You see me glowing, see me doing just fine

Suddenly you ready, suddenly it’s time

But I healed in silence, I rebuilt my soul

Found peace in letting go of control

I learned love ain’t begging, love ain’t pain

Love don’t make you question your worth every day

So keep your apologies, keep your tears

I outgrew that chapter, I conquered those fears

I wish you no harm, but I wish you away

I choose me now, every single day

Outro

Yeah, this ain’t revenge, this recovery

I lost you, but I found the best of me

So play this song when you wonder why

Some hearts don’t return when they say goodbye
