Hear Me Now

Verse 1

Yeah, I saw the darkness in you from the start—

but I kept squinting my eyes, trying to find some tiny spark.

Kept telling myself, “There’s gotta be light in there somewhere,”

Meanwhile I was drowning, sinking deeper in a love that never cared.

You cheated, then turned around and acted like I caused the storm—

as if my reaction mattered more than the damage you’d already done.

Pre-Chorus

You kept twisting the blame like it was some kind of art,

Painting over your mess and calling me the broken part.

Chorus

But let me say it plain:

I prayed for strength ‘cause you sure as hell weren’t giving me peace.

I begged God to take you away ’cause I wasn’t strong enough to leave.

I saw the dark in your eyes, but I kept searching for light—

and you let me lose myself while you kept choosing the night.

I held the faith for both of us…

and you paid me back with betrayal.

Verse 2

You cared more about the moment I snapped than the reasons I bled.

You watched me fall apart and only wondered what I’d said.

You weren’t sorry—

you were just scared of being caught.

And somehow, you still acted like every consequence was my fault.

Pre-Chorus

I kept giving you grace you didn’t deserve,

and you kept taking advantage like it was something you’d earned.

Chorus

But hear me now:

I prayed for strength ‘cause you couldn’t give me truth.

I begged God to pull you away ‘cause I couldn’t pull myself loose.

I saw the dark in your soul, tried to convince myself there was light—

but loving you was just surrendering to losing the fight.

I kept the faith, but you fed on it—

and I finally woke up.

Bridge (Spoken, sharp)

You know what’s wild?

I wasn’t blind.

I saw who you were…

I just hoped you’d want to be better.

But you didn’t.

You liked the shadows.

You liked watching me reach for a version of you

that never existed.

Final Chorus

So I walked away—

angry, tired, but finally awake.

You couldn’t be loyal, couldn’t stand in the truth,

couldn’t see the woman who would’ve moved mountains for you.

I prayed for strength, and God delivered—

not by fixing you,

but by finally freeing me

from the darkness you lived in.
