Guess the Chase is Over

[Verse 1] You used to fight for every second Stay up late just to hear my voice Now I pour my heart into these messages While your silence makes the choice You used to make me feel worth chasing Made me believe you’d always care Now I’m sitting staring at a screen Wondering how you disappeared [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause tell me what’s the difference Between leaving and slowly disappearing? You say nothing changed at all But I damn sure feel the difference [Chorus] Guess the chase is over now Guess you finally got what you wanted No more late-night words, no more reaching out Just empty spaces haunted by your promises You don’t get to say you never meant to hurt me While watching me break and calling it love ’Cause I told you what I needed And you watched me beg for crumbs [Verse 2] I said I didn’t need forever I didn’t ask for stars above Just every now and then remind me I still mattered enough for love I guess you were bored, needing an ego boost Needed someone new to pursue Guess you just had to know you still had it So I became your proof And you knew exactly what I needed I made it all so crystal clear So how’s this accidental, tell me When you keep choosing not to meet me here? [Bridge] You could’ve kept those words to yourself that night Could’ve left my world standing upright But that day you lit a match Then walked away and watched it catch I thought you were a man of your word Thought what you said was something real Guess that was just another promise you made It sounded so fucking real Maybe that’s the part I won’t forgive Not the silence, not the distance, not the ache You wrecked my whole damn world that night And left me with the pieces you helped break [Final Chorus] Guess the chase is over now Guess I stopped being worth the effort Funny how the girl you swore you’d protect Became collateral to your comfort You promised you’d never hurt me intentionally So tell me what the hell this is You know exactly how you’re hurting me And still keep choosing it [Outro] And if you knew you weren’t gonna stay You should’ve kept your lying words to yourself ’Cause I thought I found my safe place Instead I lost myself
