The Ramen Story 3

Verse 1

You said you had ramen after work

That’s why you got home late

Hours passed like nothing changed

And I believed every word you said

I was sitting there waiting

With a bag full of memories

Every gift you ever gave me

Thinking I was the one giving up

You looked surprised when you saw me there

Like I wasn’t supposed to wait

Like you already had somewhere else to be

(Pre-Chorus)

Now I replay it backwards

And every piece fits perfectly

The missing bracelet

The unanswered calls

The way your eyes couldn’t stay on me at all

(Chorus)

You said I didn’t make enough time

Baby, that’s a lie you needed

‘Cause it’s easier to blame me

Than admit you were already leaving

You made me question everything

Every sacrifice, every try

While I was holding on to us

You were saying goodbye inside

(Verse 2)

You showed up smiling like everything was fine

Held my hand like nothing changed

Kept giving me just enough

To make me think we’d be okay

Tell me when exactly you stopped loving me

Was it before or after those moments?

’Cause looking back now

You were acting like my boyfriend

While auditioning my replacement

(Pre-Chorus)

And that’s the part nobody talks about

How betrayal doesn’t start with goodbye

It starts with little secrets

Growing in the dark

(Chorus)

Did you tell her you were lonely?

Did you tell her I was the problem?

Did you tell her I never had time?

While I was losing sleep to make you mine

You painted me into the villain

So you could walk away looking innocent

And that’s the part that keeps me up

Knowing I carried a blame that wasn’t mine

(Bridge)

I got quiet

Needed rest

Needed a moment to breathe

And somehow that became the distance

You couldn’t overcome

Funny how love becomes complicated

When somebody else is making it easy

Funny how I became the reason

When you had already made your decision

(Breakdown)

You asked for time

You asked for space

You asked me to understand

What you never said

Was your heart was already somewhere else

And I was the last one to know

(Final Chorus)

So keep the ramen story

Keep the excuses too

Keep telling people you got tired

Of understanding me

I know what happened

And deep down

So do you

You didn’t leave because I wasn’t enough

You left because you already had somewhere new to go

(Outro)

And the craziest part?

I still miss your smell on my body

Still miss your kisses goodbye

Still miss hearing your voice

Still miss you

Even though I know

The version of you I loved

Was already disappearing

While I was still holding on

To us.
