Heard this Before

You said nothing’s wrong…

I’ve heard that before.

Then you changed.

I didn’t.

⸻

Same script, new face, I’ve seen this before

Late replies, half-truths slipping through the door

You said “it’s nothing,” I felt the shift

Love don’t stutter like that mid-sentence, it drifts

I was steady, you were in-between

Half with me, half in what you ain’t cleaned

Said I wasn’t a replacement, looked me in my eyes—

I’ve heard that line… too many times

You move different when I’m not around

Energy off but you play it down

I ain’t guessing, I read the signs

I’ve been here more than a couple times

⸻

You can’t build real with a ghost in your bed

You can’t say “I’m yours” with someone in your head

I gave you calm, you gave me doubt

Now I know what this is about

⸻

You said nothing’s wrong—yeah, I’ve heard this before

Same tone, same look, same closed door

I was all in, you were halfway gone

Don’t say it was real if it didn’t last long

No more circles, no more “we’ll see”

No more giving all of me for free

If you come back, it won’t be the same—

I’ve heard this game, I don’t play

⸻

I was patient, I was playing it right

Held my tongue just to keep us tight

Put my feelings second, kept yours safe

Now I see I was just filling space

You cried over him while laying with me

That should’ve been all I needed to see

But I stayed calm, I played it cool

Tried to be solid while you broke the rules

Gave you room, thought you’d choose me clear

But your past still living here

I don’t fight ghosts, I don’t compete

If it ain’t all, it ain’t for me

⸻

I don’t compete, I don’t share my lane

If I say I’m yours, I cut off the chain

You wanted time, I gave you space—

Same old story, different face

⸻

You said nothing’s wrong—yeah, I’ve heard this before

Same tone, same look, same closed door

I was all in, you were halfway gone

Don’t say it was real if it didn’t last long

No more circles, no more “we’ll see”

No more giving all of me for free

If you come back, it won’t be the same—

I’ve heard this game, I don’t play

⸻

Don’t call me later like I’m still yours

Don’t knock twice on a closed door

You had me once—I was all in

I just learned how this pattern ends

⸻

No more “maybe”

No more lies

No more looking

In your eyes

You want real?

You had it then

I’ve heard this

Over again

⸻

You said nothing’s wrong—yeah, I’ve heard this before

Same tone, same look, same closed door

I was all in, you were halfway gone

Now I’m moving forward—I’m already gone

No more circles, no more delay

If it’s not real, I walk away

If you come back, understand the cost—

I don’t repeat what I already lost

⸻

You said nothing’s wrong…

Yeah… I heard it before.
