Three in the morning You called my name I crossed the distance I took your pain Lullabies Through shaking nights Holding your world Till morning light Now one letter Rewrites it all Like I was nothing After the fall You closed the book With one cold page And called it peace I call it shame Don't mistake My kindness For weakness Don't mistake My love For less Don't look down on me Don't rewrite my history You don't get to shrink Everything I used to be I was there When nobody could see So don't... Don't look down on me You speak of standards From somewhere above While forgetting Who carried your storms It wasn't your body That kept me there It was the soul You used to share You speak like I'm beneath your feet But that's a story You repeat The songs remember What you erased The truth survives What pride replaced I won't expose you I won't destroy you That's not victory I'm just done Explaining My worth You wanted distance Now you have it You wear your pride Like a crown of gold Looking down Gets lonely though You call it wisdom I call it walls You stopped listening Before I could fall You judged my worst Forgot my best Then called yourself The one who's left You speak of peace While leaving scars Then act surprised At who we are You made your choice Now live it through Don't rewrite me To comfort you The man you lost Still stands the same Only the silence Knows your name I kept my name In the ruin You kept the doubt And called it truth You made your choice Now look me in the eye No backdoor deal No softer lie I held the door You let it swing Now every room Says what you bring I know that look It wants me small It wants me clean It wants me called I won't fold myself Into your story I won't wear your shame Like it's glory If you need a lie Keep it with you I stayed the same You changed the view Don't look down on me You don't define my dignity Walk away If that's what you need But don't pretend I was never enough Because I never Looked down on you And that's The difference Between us Santiago Flores
