[Verse 1]
I bring the groceries in
I fix the light again
I miss my call for you
I never make a scene
You say that’s what I do
Like it’s nothing new
I bend until I break
Still you don’t notice me
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you all my nights
Gave you my last good dime
Stayed when I should've left
Now I’m out of time
You take and take and take
Then call it normal life
I’m burning in plain view
And you don’t even blink
[Chorus]
Wish you understood
Wish you understood
I gave you my good parts
You wore them like they’d always be there
Wish you understood
Wish you understood
I’m not made of spare love
I’m tired of being treated like air
[Verse 2]
I held the door for you
I took the harder road
I swallowed every word
To keep the whole thing whole
I traded sleep for us
I wore my own pain thin
You call it doing fine
Like I don’t live within it
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you all my nights
Gave you my last good dime
Stayed when I should've left
Now I’m out of time
You take and take and take
Then call it normal life
I’m burning in plain view
And you don’t even blink
[Chorus]
Wish you understood
Wish you understood
I gave you my good parts
You wore them like they’d always be there
Wish you understood
Wish you understood
I’m not made of spare love
I’m tired of being treated like air
[Bridge]
[Half-time]
If I go quiet now
Don’t call it cold
That’s just the sound of me
Taking back my soul
I stood in the fire
You stood and watched
Now every scar on me
Says I gave too much
[Final Chorus]
Wish you understood
Wish you understood
I gave you my good parts
You wore them like they’d always be there
Wish you understood
Wish you understood
I’m not made of spare love
I’m tired of being treated like air
Wish you understood
Wish you understood
I stayed and stayed and stayed
But you never saw me disappear
