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
