I ain’t gonna lie, this one cuts deep. Almost a year you sat down, holding it down for a woman you really thought was gonna be your forever. While she was locked up, you were out here doing time in your own way – waiting, hoping, planning a future that only you could see clear. You gave her chance after chance, told her straight up, “If your heart somewhere else, say that now.” You opened the door for honesty, and she still chose silence. (Chorus) Stayed true all the way through, loyalty embedded so deep, that there was only one way and that was to stand tall no matter what happened, don’t know any other way when your real we either succeed together or take a ride to the E.R in the same ride, Do it Die Then she comes home and flips the script like you the villain. No call, no text, no “thank you,” no “I’m sorry,” just cold distance like you never existed. That kind of move don’t just hurt your feelings, it hits your pride, your trust, your whole idea of love. You had to eat that pain in private, walk around with a smile while your chest felt heavy. That’s a different kind of heartbreak, the kind where you did right and still got done wrong. (Chorus) Stayed true all the way through, loyalty embedded so deep, that there was only one way and that was to stand tall no matter what happened, don’t know any other way when your real we either succeed together or take a ride to the E.R in the same ride, Do it Die But here’s the twist: you didn’t fold. You took that hit, learned from it, and kept moving. You didn’t let her choices turn you bitter or make you forget what you deserve. And somewhere along that road, you met someone who actually shows up, who matches your energy, who gives you the peace, respect, and love you were begging for before. The kind of woman who doesn’t make you question your worth, but reminds you of it. (Chorus) Stayed true all the way through, loyalty embedded so deep, that there was only one way and that was to stand tall no matter what happened, don’t know any other way when your real we either succeed together or take a ride to the E.R in the same ride, Do it Die So looking back, it’s clear: she wasn’t your forever, she was your test. A test of patience, loyalty, self-respect, and faith in your own heart. And you passed it. You proved you can love hard, stand tall in the storm, and still keep your standards. Now you’re with someone who fits your life, your spirit, your future. The pain was real, but it was also the doorway. What felt like a loss was just life clearing space for the one who was really meant to stay.
