V6-MINI

[Intro]
(yeah…)
(mm… I hear you…)

[Verse 1]
You looked at me, said you didn’t feel the same
Said you care, just not in that lane
Tried to smile like it wouldn’t hurt
But my chest felt tight when I heard the words
I nodded slow, said “I understand”
Even though my heart didn’t follow the plan
I asked for truth and you gave me that
Just wasn’t ready for the weight of that

[Pre-Chorus]
I knew the risk when I crossed that line
Still wasn’t ready for this goodbye

[Chorus]
I said it out loud, now I know where you stand (I know…)
Guess I was fallin’ on my own again (alone…)
I won’t guilt you for how you feel (never…)
But it don’t make this hurt less real (it don’t…)
I asked for honesty, you gave me that (you did…)
Just didn’t think it’d hurt like that (mm…)
I said it out loud… (yeah…)
Now I gotta learn how to hold this back (hold it back…)

[Verse 2]
We still talk, but the tone feel off (it changed…)
Every laugh feel a little forced (yeah…)
I don’t say much, don’t read too deep (I won’t…)
Tryna protect what’s left of me (protect it…)
I don’t regret sayin’ how I felt (no regrets…)
Just wish my heart didn’t need your help (still does…)
I meant every word I said that night (I meant it…)
Still do, even now, I can’t lie (yeah…)

[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t mad, I’m just bruised inside
Some truths heal, some take time

[Verse 3]
Yeah
I ain’t mad, just bruised where it don’t show,
Smiled through the truth, let you think I was cool though,
Said “I get it,” while my chest felt closed in,
Respect in my mouth, but my heart still broken.

I knew the fucking risk when I crossed that line,
Still rolled the dice, thought maybe this time,
You was bein’ honest, I won’t call it cruel,
Guess I fell alone, but I played it cool.

Now every memory got a different sound,
Every “what if” finally hit the ground,
I won’t beg love where it don’t belong,
I just gotta learn how to move along.

Yeah, I meant what I said, still mean it today,
Just gotta tuck that feelin’ safely away,
No hard feelings, just harder nights,
I lost what I hoped for, not my pride.

[Chorus]
I said it out loud, can’t take it back (can’t rewind…)
Heart still open, don’t know how to act (don’t know how…)
If you need space, I’ll give you that (I will…)
Just don’t act like what we had was that (nothing…)
I gave you my truth, you gave me yours (fair trade…)
Still walkin’ out with a heavier heart (heavy…)
I said it out loud… (mm…)
Now I’m learnin’ how to play my part (my part…)

[Outro]
Still meant it…
Always did…
(yeah…)
