I Can See It

You don’t have to scream for me to hear the distance,

It’s loud in the silence, and cold in your resistance.

You say you’re fine, but your eyes betray,

Every time I reach, you pull away.

I tiptoe through the tension just to keep the peace,

But I miss the version of you who found warmth in me.

Now I’m walking through shadows of what we had,

And you’re standing there — like I made you sad.

⸻

Did I cross a line I couldn’t see?

Was love not enough coming from me?

You hold your heart like it’s breakin’ me twice,

But you’re the one rollin’ loaded dice.

⸻

Sometimes I can see you have a problem with me,

Something—I can see throughout the rain.

I’m asking why you don’t want to be bothered with me,

I’m stuck and fighting with all this pain.

⸻

You turn your back like I’m not worth your time,

But I was there through your darkest climb.

I caught your tears when no one stayed,

Now I’m the ghost in your getaway.

You say it’s complicated, but you made it so,

Like love was a show you couldn’t control.

But I held the weight without asking you to change,

Just wanted your heart — not to rearrange.

⸻

Did you love me, or just love the idea?

Was I the fix or the souvenir?

You left a war inside my chest,

Now I’m breaking with every breath.

⸻

Sometimes I can see you have a problem with me,

Something—I can see throughout the rain.

I’m asking why you don’t want to be bothered with me,

I’m stuck and fighting with all this pain.

⸻

If I disappear, would you even look back?

Or would you keep walking like you always have?

I gave you my soul, bare and true,

Now I’m bleeding from the cuts you never knew.

(Builds musically — soft piano to layered strings)

⸻

Sometimes I can see you have a problem with me,

Something—I can see throughout the rain.

I’m asking why you don’t want to be bothered with me,

I’m stuck and fighting with all this pain.

⸻

Fighting… with all this pain…

All this pain…

All this pain…
