Existed for a Minute

Verse 1

There was a moment I believed I mattered

Your words felt warm, your touch felt true

For just one minute, I felt seen

Then denial took the room from you

Pre-Chorus

You used to look at me like I was enough

Now you only see me when you want my love

Chorus

I only existed when it served you

When you needed comfort, silence too

I disappeared when I had needs

Put my heart on mute, emotions on freeze

I only existed for a minute

But I paid for it long after that

Verse 2

Gin and Malibu replaced my name

They got the softness, I got the pain

You forgot the words, forgot the nights

But I remember every fight

Bridge

I stayed loyal while you strayed

Held the truth while you betrayed

Final Chorus

I no longer live for convenience

I won’t shrink just to keep the peace

I don’t cry over vows you meant to break

I choose myself, that’s the change I make

I only existed for a minute

Now I’m taking my life back

Outro

I exist. I matter. I deserve peace.

And I’m reclaiming myself—piece by piece
