You Really Don’t

You say my name like it don’t mean nothing

Like it’s just another word you use

I gave you pieces I was still becoming

You just took ‘em, didn’t ask the truth

Late nights, I’m waiting on your attention

You’re online but you’re never here

I kept believing in your intentions

While you kept proving you don’t care

I tried to be enough for you

But I was never what you choose

You don’t really love me, you just love I stay

Love that I forgive you when you push me away

I was giving heart, you were playing games

Now I’m sitting here learning love ain’t the same

You don’t really see me, you just see my place

Someone you can run to when you need escape

I was holding on, you were letting go

Guess I was your “almost,” never your “home”

Every promise felt like a maybe

Every “forever” had an end

You kept me close when it was easy

Then disappeared when I needed a friend

I asked for love, you gave me distance

I asked for truth, you gave me lies

Now I’m done begging for your consistency

I see it clear through blurry eyes

You said you cared, but never showed

And now I finally know

You don’t really love me, you just love I stay

Love that I forgive you when you push me away

I was giving heart, you were playing games

Now I’m sitting here learning love ain’t the same

You don’t really see me, you just see my place

Someone you can run to when you need escape

I was holding on, you were letting go

Guess I was your “almost,” never your “home”

And maybe I was blind, yeah maybe I ignored it

All the little signs that you couldn’t afford it

The kind of love I needed, the kind that don’t break

The kind that don’t leave me crying this way

Now I’m choosing me, I’m done feeling small

If this was your love, I don’t want it at all

You don’t really love me… I see it now

All the empty words, I don’t need ‘em now

I was giving heart, you were passing time

Now I’m taking back every piece of mine

You don’t really love me… it’s clear to me

Love ain’t supposed to feel this lonely
