You stayed the same

Verse 1)

You said you’d change but you never did,

Still hiding behind that smoke and grin.

I used to drown just to keep you afloat,

Now I’m breathing fine, I’m not your ghost.

(Pre-Chorus)

You were all talk, no follow-through,

A mirror cracked, I saw the truth.

(Chorus)

You stayed the same, I grew out of your rain,

Built my fire from the wreck you made.

You call it love, I call it pain,

Funny how I’m shining while you stayed the same.

(Verse 2)

He doesn’t make me guess his tone,

He shows up, I don’t feel alone.

No games, no highs just to crash again —

Just calm hands and an honest grin.

(Pre-Chorus)

He loves in color, not in gray,

You’re the reason I learned that way.

(Chorus)

You stayed the same, I grew out of your rain,

Built my fire from the wreck you made.

You call it love, I call it pain,

Funny how I’m shining while you stayed the same.

(Bridge)

Now your silence doesn’t shake me,

His voice, it reawakens me.

I found what real looks like —

It’s not you, it’s mine.

(Final Chorus)

You stayed the same, I broke the chain,

Turned my hurt into my name.

He calls it love, and it feels safe —

Guess that’s the proof you stayed the same.
