Intentions

Why couldn’t you love me as I loved you?

Why couldn’t you be loyal like I stayed true?

My heart aches with unforgettable pain

My mind runs in circles, replaying your face

Your words still echo, sweet and untrue

Promises wrapped in a beautiful ruse

You said that you loved me—I trusted your lies

I was a fool looking through hopeful eyes

You said I was beautiful, worthy, enough

Built me up slowly just to tear me apart

You made me feel wanted, then easy to lose

Like love was a game and I was your use

(Chorus)

Was it always your intention

To break me with affection?

To hold me close while you pulled away

To swear you’d stay, then betray?

Did you mean to make me believe

That I was safe, that I was seen

Or was I just a role you played

Until the truth could no longer wait?

(Verse)

You taught me how deep love can cut

How words can heal and destroy at once

I gave you loyalty, I gave you faith

You gave me doubt and a bitter taste

I search for answers I’ll never find

Like when you stopped being mine

If love was real, then why’d it hurt?

Why did I come second to your worst?

(Bridge)

Maybe it wasn’t my fault at all

Maybe you never knew how to love without the fall

Maybe I wasn’t worthless or weak

Just loving someone incapable of honesty

(Outro)

So ask yourself when you sleep at night

If breaking me ever felt right

I loved you pure, I loved you true

And that was real—even if you weren’t too
