Verse 1
You said you loved me past the brim
Past the edge where light grows thin
Said your heart was wide and wild
And I just smiled
I could’ve left on harder nights
When silence felt like fights
But loving you felt like a home
I couldn’t just rewrite
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I stood beside you, steady ground
While your doubts were spinning out
⸻
Chorus
If you loved me more than I could give
Why am I the one learning how to live
With half a house and half a plan
And the memory of your hand?
If your heart was bigger than mine
Why couldn’t it hold the line?
You said your love ran deep and free
But it wasn’t wide enough for me
⸻
Verse 2
We signed our names in careful ink
Like forever doesn’t blink
Painted walls in hopeful shades
Built a life we thought was made
You could’ve walked before that day
Before our roots had learned to stay
Before that house became the proof
That I believed in you
I don’t want to think there’s someone else
But it feels like there’s somewhere you’d rather be
When something that strong just slips away
And won’t explain itself to me
What got you scared? What changed your mind?
Was it sudden, or slow this time?
⸻
Pre-Chorus
So tell me, when did it grow thin?
Did you start to fade within?
⸻
Bridge
Maybe love can still be true
Even when it doesn’t choose
Maybe you meant every word
Until forever felt too huge
Was it one bad day, one bad night
That made your “always” lose its fight?
Was that all it took to make
Your capacity disappear?
Maybe hearts can overflow
And still not know
How to stay
⸻
Final Chorus
If you loved me more than I could give
Why am I the one left trying to live
With empty rooms and broken plans
And shaking hands?
If your capacity was so much more
Why couldn’t it carry us through the storm?
You said your heart was bigger than mine
But mine would’ve stayed
Every time
You said your love ran deep and free
But it wasn’t wide enough for me
⸻
Outro
You said you loved me past the brim
Past every doubt, past every “if”
But love doesn’t leave
Without reason.
