[Verse 1] With everything you thought I loved, I loved was wrong, and everything fell inside-out I had no choice but to believe in you but you broke my heart because you never once believed in me not even a little You always fell for the fake ones whispering what you liked while I was the man who actually cared And now you’ve left him because you finally saw the truth But I won’t take you back, because you don’t love me Not really Even though inside, I still love you [Pre‑Chorus] And I hate that I still feel you in the places you abandoned I hate that I still hear you in the silence you commanded [Chorus] But I won’t break just to let you in again I won’t fall for the ghost you’ve always been You want my heart but you never paid the cost I loved you real and you loved me lost [Verse 2] You said you needed time to heal your wounds but you carved your name in mine instead You ran to men who fed your fantasies and left me starving for the truth you never said Now you’re standing in the doorway with regret across your skin But I’m not the man who waits for you to choose me secondhand again [Bridge] I hope you find the love you never let me give I hope you learn to stay with someone who won’t forgive the way you broke the ones who only wanted you to live [Final Chorus] But I won’t break just to let you in again I won’t fall for the ghost you’ve always been You want my heart but you never paid the cost I loved you real and you loved me lost
