[Verse 1]
Ernesto, you wore a borrowed smile
While I paid for every mile
You brought her into my car
Then acted like you didn't know how cruel you are
You said forever with a straight-faced lie
I learned the truth from the way you wouldn't meet my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
No apology can buy back
The parts of me you tried to crack
I packed my name, I shut the door
I won't be yours anymore
[Chorus]
You cheated, lied, and called it love
Took everything and gave enough
To keep me waiting, keep me small
You never carried any bill at all
You put your hands where kindness should have been
But I survived what you called giving in
Ernesto, hear me clearly when I say:
You lost me the moment I walked away
[Verse 2]
You made a home out of excuses
Turned my patience into bruises
Every promise came unpaid
Every “trust me” was another blade
I kept the lights on, kept us fed
While you spent your mercy somewhere else instead
[Pre-Chorus]
I mistook endurance for devotion
Till I found the strength to choose my own direction
Now the silence in this room
Feels safer than the life with you
[Chorus]
You cheated, lied, and called it love
Took everything and gave enough
To keep me waiting, keep me small
You never carried any bill at all
You put your hands where kindness should have been
But I survived what you called giving in
Ernesto, hear me clearly when I say:
You lost me the moment I walked away
[Bridge]
I don't need your version of the story
I don't need your borrowed guilt
The woman you kept breaking
Is the one you couldn't kill
My keys are in my pocket
My future's in my hands
You can keep the empty promises
I am done explaining where I stand
[Final Chorus]
You cheated, lied, and called it love
But I am more than what you took
No more waiting, no more fear
No more paying for a man who disappears
You put your hands where kindness should have been
Still, I found my way back underneath my skin
Ernesto, hear me clearly when I say:
You lost me the moment I walked away
[Outro]
I left the door unlocked for my own life
And I won't go back this time
