Not enough Words

Verse 1)I said it calm, I said it kind,I said it with tears in my eyes.Changed my tone a hundred ways,still got lost in your disguise.

I carried talks on fragile strings,walked on eggshells through the night,trying to make the truth sound softso you wouldn’t start a fight.

(Pre-Chorus)And every time the pressure came,you turned the mirror back on me.I kept thinking if I explained it better,you would finally see.

(Chorus)But maybe it was never about the words,never about how I tried.Maybe you just couldn’t sitwith the hurt you kept inside.

Maybe avoiding discomfortmattered more than making things right.And I kept trying to save us bothwhile you were trying to escape the fight.

Now I see love can’t healwhere truth is treated like a threat.And emotional safetywas something we never really had yet.

(Verse 2)I became smaller to keep the peace,careful with every tone.Meanwhile I was carrying two heartswhile feeling completely alone.

You heard blame where there was pain,control where there was fear.And every honest conversationsomehow disappeared.

(Bridge)I was solving for connection,you were running from the weight.I was begging for repair,you were closing every gate.

And the hardest truth to faceafter all these years gone by…was maybe I was never unheard,just asking someone unwilling to try.

(Final Chorus)So it was never about the wording,never about saying it right.You can explain your soul perfectlyto someone still avoiding the light.

And love grows tired and fragilewhen one heart does all the repair.Because relationships survive hard truths…but not when only one person is there.
