[Intro]
I didn’t plan this.
It just… moved.
[Verse 1]
I used to wait for your name to light up,
Now the silence says more than you do.
You showed up late like it should still matter,
Like I didn’t already carry this through.
I raised my voice, yeah, I know I did,
But it wasn’t noise — it was weight.
Funny how you only heard me
When I finally snapped the plate.
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need excuses dressed as truth,
I needed you before I broke.
[Chorus]
Something shifted, I felt it crack,
The moment I stopped expecting you back.
I’m not angry like I was before,
I’m just not standing at the door.
You can say you’re trying now,
You can finally show up somehow,
But something shifted — can’t you tell?
I don’t reach for you as well.
[Verse 2]
You say I’m right, you don’t argue anymore,
Like surrender fixes the past.
But agreement after absence
Always comes a little too fast.
I didn’t want to fall out,
Didn’t want this space to grow,
But I can’t unsee the pattern
Once my body learned to know.
[Pre-Chorus]
I hate that it hurts,
But I hate pretending more.
[Chorus]
Something shifted, I felt it slide,
When I realised I’d already tried.
I’m not asking you to change,
I just stopped playing the same game.
You can do the things I asked,
Five minutes late, moving fast —
But something shifted, it’s already gone,
I learned how to carry on.
[Bridge]
I don’t hate you.
That’s the truth.
It’s worse than that —
I just outgrew the version of us
Where I had to shout to be seen.
[Chorus]
Something shifted, I didn’t choose,
It happened the moment I stopped excusing you.
I can be civil, I can be kind,
But I can’t rewind my mind.
You said goodnight, I let it sit,
Because I don’t know where “normal” fits.
Something shifted — and maybe that’s me
Finally choosing honesty.
Beexii
