[Verse 1]
I know why my name still lingers
When your world’s coming apart.
I’m the number that you memorized,
The place you parked your heart.
I was easy, I was constant,
Never hard to let back in.
Funny how I finally noticed
Where I ended and you began.
[Pre-Chorus]
Looking back, it all adds up.
I wasn’t the prize… I was the comfort.
[Chorus]
I get it.
I know why I felt like home.
It’s not that you were chasing me,
You just hated being alone.
And I’m sorry that it took
Watching everything get bent.
You don’t really want me…
You want the peace I represent.
Those aren’t the same thing.
I get it.
[Verse 2]
You liked knowing I’d answer,
Liked knowing I’d understand.
Liked that I could smooth the edges
You kept cutting with your hands.
I mistook relief for romance,
Thought safe meant we were meant.
Now I know there’s a difference
Between a person and a safety net.
[Pre-Chorus]
No hard feelings, no big scene.
I finally know what you were seeing.
[Chorus]
I get it.
I was familiar from the start.
Not the girl you couldn’t live without,
Just the quiet in your heart.
And I’m sorry that it took
Losing so much to understand.
You don’t really want me…
You just want somewhere soft to land.
I get it.
[Bridge]
Maybe that’s why every goodbye
Never really stayed goodbye.
You reached for what was comfortable,
I reached for a different life.
Neither one of us was lying…
We just weren’t chasing the same thing.
[Final Chorus]
I get it.
You miss the feeling, not the flame.
You miss the calm, the certainty,
But those aren’t quite the same.
And I won’t take it personal,
Now that I know what it meant.
You don’t really want me…
You want the peace I represent.
I finally get it.
