[Verse 1]
You ain’t afraid of love…
You afraid of mirrors.
Every woman gets closer,
You make the exit clearer.
You don’t burn bridges—
You keep ’em halfway lit,
So if the world gets lonely,
You can still walk back across it.
You’re a house with revolving doors.
Nobody stays.
You keep one foot in tomorrow
While you’re running from today.
You call it protecting peace,
I call it dodging the weight.
You don’t leave because it’s broken…
You leave before it can break.
[Hook]
You don’t push people away.
You pull the floor from underneath.
Then wonder why they’re falling
While you’re preaching they should leave.
Everybody gets a chapter.
Everybody gets replaced.
The only thing that never changes…
Is the man who walks away.
[Verse 2]
I watched you outrun accountability
Like it had your fingerprints.
Every apology came gift-wrapped
With somebody else’s sins.
Every ex became a warning,
Every story had a witch.
Funny…
Every woman wore the horns,
But somehow you held the pitchfork.
You wanted unconditional love…
With conditional presence.
Wanted all the understanding,
None of the self-reflection.
Wanted peace without repair.
Grace without repentance.
Wanted someone to build a home…
Then panicked when they moved in.
[Bridge]
You know what avoidants fear?
It ain’t love.
It’s being fully known.
Because if somebody sees
Every locked room…
They might ask why
You never cleaned the house.
[Verse 3]
I kept thinking
I could love you into safety.
Like enough patience
Could rewrite your history.
I kept shrinking
So your shadows looked smaller.
Kept carrying both of us
Until my own knees faltered.
Then Smith died.
And that’s where every theory ended.
Because grief strips people naked.
You don’t meet someone’s character
On easy days.
You meet it
When life asks them
To carry someone else’s pain.
That’s when I stopped asking,
“Why couldn’t I save this?”
And started asking,
“Why was I the only one
Trying?”
[Outro]
You spent your whole life
Running from abandonment…
Never realizing…
You became
The thing
You feared
The most.
