Do You Hear Me?

You say you don’t understand me

Like I’m talking and it don’t land

Like every word I’m saying to you

Just slips right through your hands

You say I don’t really listen

Like I don’t care how you feel

But I hear you even in silence

Even the things you don’t reveal

And it hurts when you look at me

Like I’m someone you outgrew

We used to feel so certain

Now I don’t know what’s true

Do you hear me when I’m talking

Or you already tuned me out?

You say I don’t hold you down

But I’ve been here through your doubt

I love you, I’m not faking

But love feels shaky like this

I need you right beside me

Not questioning what we is

You talk about wanting babies

Building a whole life with me

But you don’t even trust me

So what do you really see?

If I’m the one you picture

When you think about your future

Then tell me what’s so broken

What makes you so unsure?

What is it that you see in me

That makes you hesitate?

Cause how you want forever

But still fill my heart with doubt and weight?

You think I don’t consider you

Like your feelings don’t reach me

But I carry every little thing

Even when it’s not easy

You say you don’t feel trusted

Like I’m always pulling away

But I’m scared of losing us

A little more every day

We’re drifting into strangers

In a love we used to know

And I’m trying hard to hold on

But I don’t know where to go

I’m not your enemy

I’ve always been on your side

But you keep building distance

While I’m still trying to ride

I need you to believe me

Not doubt me every step

How we supposed to build a future

If we ain’t solid yet?

I still choose you, even now

But I can’t do this alone

If we’re gonna make it through

You gotta meet me halfway home

I love you… but I need you

To really have my back

Not just say it when it’s easy

But when everything goes black
