Tired of Understanding

Verse 1

You said you were tired of understanding me

Tired of the distance, tired of our reality

Said I never had the time, said I let you down

Like I wasn’t trying to hold us together somehow

Night shift dreams and morning goodbyes

Living on borrowed hours, sacrificing sleep just to see your eyes

I bent my world around every chance we got

But somehow all that effort was something you forgot

Pre-Chorus

You made it sound like I was the reason

Like our love just couldn’t survive the season

But now I know the truth you never said

You already had someone else in your head

Chorus

Don’t tell me you left ‘cause I wasn’t there

When you were giving somebody else all your care

Don’t tell me you were lonely every night

When you were already holding someone else tight

You blamed me so you wouldn’t feel guilty

Painted me as the reason you were leaving

But the hardest thing for me to face

Is you had her waiting to take my place

Verse 2

The very next day, there you were

Standing beside her like I never mattered

And I remember how my stomach dropped

Watching everything connect at once

The late replies, the distant tone

The way you stopped feeling like home

Every excuse suddenly made sense

You were gone before the relationship ended

Pre-Chorus

And maybe that’s what hurts the most

You made me carry all the blame

While protecting your image

And hiding her name

Chorus

Don’t tell me you left ‘cause I wasn’t enough

When I was showing up despite how hard it was

I worked through exhaustion just to spend time with you

While you were building something new

You blamed me so you wouldn’t feel guilty

Painted me as the reason you were leaving

But the hardest thing for me to face

Is you had her waiting to take my place

Bridge

Still… I miss your smell on my hoodie

Miss your lips when they’d find mine softly

And I hate that my heart remembers the good

When my mind knows it probably shouldn’t

I miss the version of you I thought was real

The one who promised we’d get through anything

Not the one who chose the easy way out

Then made me carry the weight of everything

Final Chorus

You said you were tired of understanding me

But you never understood what I gave up to keep us breathing

And now she’s getting all the time you said I couldn’t give

Funny how love finds hours when that’s where you want to live

You blamed me for the ending

But I know what really happened now

You didn’t leave because I didn’t love you enough

You left because you already found someone else somehow

Outro

And maybe one day I’ll stop missing your kisses

Stop reaching for memories that don’t exist anymore

But tonight I’m still learning how to live with the truth:

You left me before you left me.
