[Verse 1] You talk for hours, never pause And every problem turns to “my fault” laws You raise your voice, you set the tone Like my emotions aren’t my own When I breathe in to speak my side You shut me down before I try [Pre-Chorus] I always waited for my turn While swallowing the words that burn [Chorus] Every time I try to speak, you cut me off Act like your hurt is heavier than my loss You drown me out and call it care But caring isn’t real if I’m not there You tell your story over mine Then twist the truth to fit your line If we’re a team, then that’s enough So don’t you dare to—cut me off [Verse 2] You say I “interrupt your pain” While twisting everything again You claim you carry all the weight But never listen when I break [Pre-Chorus 2] I learned to whisper just to stay But I won’t live my life that way [Chorus] Every time I try to speak, you cut me off Act like your hurt is heavier than my loss You drown me out and call it care But caring isn’t real if I’m not there You tell your story over mine Then twist the truth to fit your line If we’re a team, then that’s enough So don’t you dare to—cut me off [Bridge] If this is real, then hear me too It can’t be healing just for you We can’t move forward stuck like this You can’t demand what you won’t give [Final Chorus] Every time I try to speak, you cut me off But now my voice won’t bend beneath your loss You drown me out and call it care But caring isn’t real if I’m not there You tell your story over mine But this time I step out of your line If we’re a team, then that’s enough ’Cause I won’t let you—cut me off [Outro] I won’t stay quiet just to cope My voice is rising back to hope
