Not Your Roomate Anymore

Verse 1
You lost your job, the world went silent
Hope felt thin and the nights got violent
You said you had nobody there
So I stayed and showed you I cared

Late nights trying to ease your mind
Counting change just to buy some time
I carried weight that wasn’t mine
Just to help you see the light

Pre-Chorus
I gave my love like it would save us
But love shouldn’t feel so thankless

Chorus
I was more than a shoulder when your world fell apart
More than the hands trying to hold your heart
I stood beside you through the pressure and pain
But you never loved me the same

I gave you loyalty, patience, and time
While you treated my love like it wasn’t mine
And looking back now I can say
I was your partner… you made me a roommate

Verse 2
I made sure you were taken care of
Even when life felt unfair to us
Put your needs before my own
But still somehow I felt alone

You had my strength when yours was gone
But appreciation never came along
And now I see what I ignored
Love shouldn’t feel like keeping score

Pre-Chorus
I kept giving with all I had
While you stayed comfortable with that

Chorus
I was more than a shoulder when your world fell apart
More than the hands trying to hold your heart
I stood beside you through the pressure and pain
But you never loved me the same

I gave you loyalty, patience, and time
While you treated my love like it wasn’t mine
And looking back now I can say
I was your partner… you made me a roommate

Bridge
Now I know love shows up both ways
Not just in words someone says
A man who loves you doesn’t let you feel alone
When you’re standing in the same home

Final Chorus
I was the one who stayed through the storm
When everything in your life felt torn
But now I see what love should be
Someone standing strong with me

I gave you everything I could give
But that’s not the way real love should live
So I walked away and closed that door
I’m not your partner… or your roommate anymore.
