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.
