Verse 1
I don’t guess, I already know
I see the cracks before they show
Your tone shifts, your eyes don’t lie
I feel the ending every time
I read intent behind your smile
Count the seconds till denial
I’ve been right too many times
That’s why I don’t give what’s mine
Pre-Chorus
You call it fear, I call it sense
I learned love comes with consequence
Chorus
I can’t love fully when I see everything around me
I see the damage forming before you even touch me
So I loved you with half of my heart, yeah, I kept it guarded
‘Cause giving you all of it would’ve left me discarded
I don’t fall deep, I fall prepared
I don’t go blind, I’m too aware
Verse 2
I don’t hope, I analyze
I hear the truth between the lies
Every pattern repeats itself
Different face, same kind of hell
You say “trust me,” I’ve heard it before
Right before they close the door
I don’t chase what’s bound to leave
I don’t bleed for what deceives
Pre-Chorus
I don’t believe in happy ends
I believe in how it ends
Chorus
I can’t love fully when I see everything around me
I see the shift, the silence, the way you’re starting to doubt me
So I loved you with half of my heart, never whole, never honest
‘Cause loving you fully would’ve left me demolished
I don’t fall deep, I fall aware
I don’t trust fate, I trust despair
Bridge
Awareness killed the fantasy
I see who you are when you’re with me
And who you’ll be when I’m gone
I’ve watched this movie too long
I don’t need proof, I feel the end
Before it starts, before we bend
Final Chorus
I can’t love fully when I see everything around me
Every step you’ll take when you finally outgrow me
So I loved you with half of my heart just to survive it
Half of me stayed alive, half of me stayed violent
If loving less is how I breathe
Then that’s the curse you left in me
Outro
I didn’t lose faith, I lost the blind
I didn’t break—I stayed in time
Half a heart, still standing here
Seeing everything… crystal clear
