You Never Saw Me (And Still, I Loved)

Intro (soft, broken whisper):

Oh God… help me…

I’m on my knees,

Dying.

This pain won’t let me go.

It holds me like you never did.

---

Verse 1:

I loved you louder than storms scream through trees,

I loved you like prayers whispered on shattered knees.

I gave you the marrow, the bone, the ache,

Built a cathedral from every heartbreak.

You were my sunrise, my reason to breathe,

And still you left me alone with nothing to grieve.

You looked at me — no, through me — like I was thin air,

Like I was furniture you no longer cared to bear.

I was a heartbeat hoping to be heard,

A poem screaming in a world that lost its words.

I kissed your shadows, I memorized your face,

But you couldn’t even hold me in your empty embrace.

---

Chorus:

How do you keep loving when love leaves you blind?

How do you stay when your soul’s left behind?

I gave you my everything, soul, skin, and name,

But to you, I was no one — just a face in the flame.

You never saw the tears that I swallowed each night,

Never heard the wars I fought to make us right.

I was dying in front of you, quiet and small…

What’s worse than giving your all

To someone who never saw you at all?

---

Verse 2:

I held your pain like it was mine to carry,

While you held my love like it was temporary.

You watched me crumble with indifferent eyes,

And I kept pretending you weren’t my demise.

I waited like the moon waits for the sun,

But you never came back — you were always done.

I begged in silence, I bled in smiles,

I walked a thousand breaking miles.

I wrapped you in warmth you never returned,

Lit myself on fire for a love that just burned.

You left me hollow, emptied out and undone,

Like a war with no peace, like a death that won.

---

Bridge:

I screamed your name in rooms you’d already left,

Slept in a bed haunted by your neglect.

You loved me like a stranger passing through,

While I carved every heartbeat into you.

I died in chapters while you read other books,

You never once gave me those second looks.

I became invisible in your world of dreams,

While you destroyed me with your silent extremes.

---

Chorus (repeat, more broken, more pain):

How do you keep loving when love leaves you blind?

How do you stay when your soul’s left behind?

I gave you my everything, soul, skin, and name,

But to you, I was no one — just a face in the flame.

You never saw the tears that I swallowed each night,

Never heard the wars I fought to make us right.

I was dying in front of you, quiet and small…

What’s worse than giving your all

To someone who never saw you at all?

---

Final Outro (barely a whisper):

I loved you when it hurt.

I stayed when it killed me.

And you…

You never even looked back.

You never even saw

That I was already gone.
