[Verse 1] You said ride or die But you ain’t even walk a mile All those little sideways looks Turned to “who you think you are?” in time You counted every flaw I got Like you was tryna keep the score Told me I was doing “too much” But you the one who wanted more You hated when the phone would ring Asked “who hyping you like that?” Every compliment I’d get You turned it to an attack I shrank myself to fit your fear Played small just to keep you near But every “joke” cut clear You loved it when I’d disappear [Chorus] You don’t even love you How you gonna love me like this? (oh no) Every time my light grew You were praying that the flame would miss You don’t really want my heart You just want somewhere to hide If I gotta doubt myself Just to keep you, that ain’t right You don’t even love you How you gonna love me like this? (you can’t, you can’t) So I’m packing up my hope And I’m leaving you with your wish [Verse 2] You called it “honesty” When you’d tear my dreams apart Said “I’m just being real” While you chipped at who I am in the dark Scrolling through my page at night Looking for a reason to be mad “I guess you think you special now” Funny how my wins made you sad I dressed down so you’d feel tall Bit my tongue till it went numb You loved me most when I was lost You got nervous when I leveled up I used to beg you “see me” But you only saw your own fear Now when you say you miss me I hear you miss how I disappeared [Chorus] You don’t even love you How you gonna love me like this? (hey) Every time my light grew You were praying that the flame would miss You don’t really want my heart You just want somewhere to hide If I gotta doubt myself Just to keep you, that ain’t right You don’t even love you How you gonna love me like this? (oh no, oh no) I’m done dimming down my soul For somebody scared of my gift
