love dont beg

I gave my heart with no receipt, No fine print, no guarantee I showed up bleeding, open palms While you were counting what I’d bring I waited through the silent days Read your pauses like a sign Told myself “she’s just busy” While I was slowly losing mine Pre-Chorus I loved you loud, you loved me when it was convenient I poured my soul, you checked the time I called it patience, now I see it I was alone the whole damn time Chorus I’ll never forget how you let me suffer alone While you laughed in somebody else’s glow I stayed loyal to a dream you never owned Yeah, you watched me drown, called it love, then went home I would’ve carried you through fire and rain But you only reached out when you needed my name I loved you real, you loved the gain Now I’m healing from a love that never felt the same Verse 2 You said “I care,” but never stayed When my nights got dark and long You asked me when I’d get paid But never asked what was wrong I confused hope with sacrifice Thought pain meant I was true Turns out love don’t cost your peace And it damn sure don’t use you Pre-Chorus I learned too late, but I learned for real Love don’t beg, it don’t hide If it’s genuine, you’ll feel it Not question it every night Chorus I’ll never forget how you let me suffer alone While you smiled like nothing was wrong I was fighting wars you never known You just waited till the moment was gone I would’ve given you my last breath You gave me silence and debt I loved you deeper than you ever went Now I’m standing up from what you meant Bridge Maybe I loved the idea, not you Maybe I ignored what was true But I know this pain carved something new I won’t break myself just to prove That I’m worthy of time Or a text back Or a sign Outro So here’s my goodbye, no anger left Just truth I finally own I survived a love that cost me myself I’ll never suffer alone again— Not for anyone.
