Don't Tell Me It's Not Personal

You always say I’m too emotional…

But that’s the thing — I feel it all.

You say I care too much, I fall too fast,

That I hold on to pieces that should stay in the past.

But you don’t see the mess you leave behind,

Every lie cuts deep inside my mind.

You say “it’s nothing,” like that makes it small,

But it’s not nothing — it’s me losing it all.

I don’t fake, I don’t pretend,

When I give, I give ‘til the end.

So don’t tell me it’s not personal,

When my heart’s on the line, that’s emotional.

You can walk away like it’s no big deal,

But I’m still bleeding from the way it feels.

Don’t tell me it’s not personal —

I’m not built to love so casual.

Every scar you left, every word you stole,

Yeah, it’s personal.

You act like I’m crazy for wanting truth,

But I gave every piece of me to you.

You call it drama, I call it pain,

I call it trying to breathe through the rain.

You broke my trust, and said, “it’s fine,”

But you can’t unbreak a heart like mine.

I don’t love halfway, I don’t do pretend,

I don’t forget, I just learn to mend.

So don’t tell me it’s not personal,

When I gave you my soul, unconditional.

You move on fast, I stay behind,

Trapped in the echoes of your mind.

Don’t tell me it’s not personal —

I loved too hard, that’s my flaw.

Every tear I hide, every wall I build tall —

Yeah, it’s personal.

Maybe I care too much,

Maybe that’s why I break in love.

But I’d rather feel everything than nothing at all,

Even if it means I fall.

Don’t tell me it’s not personal —

When you were my everything, my all.

You can walk away, erase my name,

But I still feel your ghost the same.

Don’t tell me it’s not personal…

Because it is.

It always was.
