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
