You Never Loved Me

[Verse 1]
You never loved me
You never showed
You said you felt it
But it never broke through the cold
You held my hand
Eyes somewhere else
I heard your stories
But I never felt myself
[Chorus]
You never loved me
You never showed
Stop pretending that you care
It’s getting old
If you’re gonna stay
Then stay and be there
Show me that you care
But don’t lie to the people who are listening to you
Don’t lie to me too
[Verse 2]
I watched you talking
Like I wasn’t there
Perfect on paper
Empty in the air
You call me “baby”
Like reading a line
All of your kisses
Missing the spine
[Chorus]
You never loved me
You never showed
Stop pretending that you care
It’s getting old
If you’re gonna stay
Then stay and be there
Show me that you care
But don’t lie to the people who are listening to you
Don’t lie to me too
[Bridge]
Say it’s over
Or say it’s real
Just pick a truth
I can finally feel (oh)
[Chorus]
You never loved me
You never showed
Stop pretending that you care
It’s getting old
If you’re gonna stay
Then stay and be there
Show me that you care
But don’t lie to the people who are listening to you
Don’t lie to me too

Slow-burning R&B ballad over warm electric piano and distant pads, deep male vocals front and center. Verses stay hushed and cracked, with intimate breaths and subtle vibrato. Chorus swells with layered low harmonies, soft toms, and a pulsing sub that blooms on emotional phrases. Sparse reverb gives a late-night, confessional feel; final chorus strips back to almost a cappella, letting the pain linger., deep
