Verse 1 Ten weeks of truth, starting late June, I watched the walls you built around your wounds. You weren’t running from me, you were running from you — from the shame you carried since you were young, thinking you were never enough. Pre‑Chorus And I finally saw the pattern clear: you pull away when love gets near. Not because you don’t care — but because you’re scared I’ll see the parts you hide, the ones you numb with every drink at night. Chorus I learned that love can’t save a man who doesn’t believe he’s worth my hands. You need to face yourself to let me in, and I need to stop giving more than I have within. I’m done carrying hearts that won’t carry mine — this time, I’m choosing me. Verse 2 You hid your body, your desire, your truth, thinking it made you broken, thinking it made you wrong. But all it ever did was make you feel alone — drowning in a shame you never deserved, pushing away the love you always had. Pre‑Chorus And I see you now with softer eyes, not angry — just understanding why you never felt safe inside your own skin, why you never believed I loved you even when I did. Chorus I learned that love can’t save a man who doesn’t believe he’s worth my hands. You need to face yourself to let me in, and I need to stop giving more than I have within. I’m done carrying hearts that won’t carry mine — this time, I’m choosing me. Bridge I have empathy, I have patience, but I won’t bleed myself dry anymore. Not for family, not for children, not for a marriage built on hoping for more. When I’ve had enough, I let go — that’s what I finally know. Final Chorus I learned that love can’t save a man who won’t stand up and take my hand. You need to accept yourself to let me in, and I need to stop loving past my own limits. I’m done giving everything for free — now I’m choosing me. Outro It wasn’t a fantasy, it wasn’t a dream — it was me loving too deeply for people who couldn’t meet me. And now I rise, steady and clean — finally learning what love really means.And even after all this truth… I love you.
