Loved The Way I Loved You

Verse 1

You ain’t gotta say it — I already know the deal

You liked the way I showed up, not the way I feel

You loved how I’d drop everything when you called my name

But when I needed you back, you never did the same

Pre-Chorus

I was ride or die, no questions asked

You were love on layaway that never came back

Chorus

You didn’t love me, you just loved the way I loved you

All that effort, all that faith — yeah, I was too good to you

You loved the way I made you feel like a man

But never once reached out your hand

So don’t act like you miss me too

You just loved the way I loved you

Verse 2

You liked the way I’d check in, keep it real and true

But you couldn’t match the energy — it was never in you

You loved my loyalty like it was free

But baby, that kind of love costs — and you can’t afford me

Pre-Chorus

You had my heart, and I had your games

Now I’m done calling love by your name

Chorus

You didn’t love me, you just loved the way I loved you

How I’d give my all when you barely came through

You loved the control, the chase, the view

But not the woman standing in front of you

Bridge

Now you’re scrolling through memories like they’ll talk back

But you lost a real one — no second acts

Keep your apologies, I’m good on that

You taught me what I won’t do again — and that’s facts

Final Chorus

You didn’t love me, you just loved the way I loved you

I was the dream, you were just passing through

So go find another fool to prove

‘Cause I’m done loving you more than you do
