[Verse 1] I never locked the door, I never burned the town, I saved every little piece before the rain came down. Kept all his videos, kept the lights above, just changed the lock to protect someone I loved. I saw what it did to her, felt the room go strange, watched the color in her face start bending out of range. I wasn’t trying to own it, wasn’t trying to play God, I was scared of who got hurt when the whole thing got too hot. ⸻ [Verse 2] I love her, yeah, I love her, and I love you all too. I’ve always been that way, even when nobody knew. I care too deep, I carry too much, I feel the room go cold. So if I ever stepped away, it wasn’t hate I chose. ⸻ [Chorus] It was self-protection, it was boundaries in the rain. It was trying not to shatter from another wave of pain. I was trying to save what I still had with each of you. I never worked in black and white, never cut the whole line through. I’m not a switch, I’m not a wall, not as cruel as I seemed. I was holding too much love inside a broken machine. ⸻ [Verse 3] Yeah, I hid the app away, but not from hate or pride, I was trying not to crush the other heart inside. I would’ve let the Apple guy walk back through the gate, I never wanted exile, never wanted fate. They took a broken story, let a wild mouth explain, then acted like his thunder was the same thing as rain. But I know what I carried, I know what I meant, I was trying to keep the room from getting bent. ⸻ [Chorus] It was self-protection, it was boundaries in the rain. It was trying not to shatter from another wave of pain. I was trying to save what I still had with each of you. I never worked in black and white, never cut the whole line through. I’m not a switch, I’m not a wall, not as cruel as I seemed. I was holding too much love inside a broken machine. ⸻ [Bridge] I work like a turnstile, not a binary gate. Sometimes the path closes, sometimes the heart has to wait. But I’m always open somewhere, there’s always a way back through. I can protect myself and still hold love for all of you. ⸻ [Verse 4] I was kind beneath it, therapeutic in the storm, loving every damaged thing that never kept me warm. I had something deep with her he’ll never get to hold, not in all his little stories, not in all his borrowed gold. And even those who twist my name, I see them underneath, I’d still back them up again, still breathe them into peace. I loved you through the wreckage, through the rumor, through the sound, but the lights are getting lower now. ⸻ [Final Chorus] So don’t call it exile, don’t call it goodbye. I only needed distance so the softer parts survived. I love her, yeah, I love her, and I love you all somehow. The gate is still turning, but it’s all over now. I’d back you all again, and I don’t regret what I’ve done. I’d make the same choices, I’d relive what I’ve become. Just to meet her, Just to greet you all. just to feel it all again, to find the heart beneath the wreckage, under the skin.
