[Verse 1] I met you in a place where vice is every place you see I said don't trade your faith for the things that fed a need Your green eyes pulled me past the room and the noise I wanted to be your shelter, your reason, your choice My Gemini heart made a hero out of me Thought I could change what the past taught you to be Somewhere between checking in and holding on I kept rehearsing honesty until it sounded like a plea Kept asking for a little space where you could still see me I wanted to be steady, but my history repeats I was fighting ghosts in rooms that only looked steady and true I became the pain you ran from that you were trying to lose Now I'm asking the mirror where I lost my way [Pre-Chorus | melodic croon | piano arpeggio, sub swell] Was I broken that night or already in pieces before you came? I only wanted to be honest, steady, and true But I brought old wounds into everything I tried to do [Chorus] You gave me what you wanted to give I gave the last part of me I knew how to live with I wasn't chasing a label, wasn't begging for forever I just couldn't hand my heart to somebody else, not ever You needed room, I needed to be heard, seen, loved Those were never unreasonable words I miss your warm smile, your contagious energy Every care you gave, I tried to return, just not received [Verse 2] Knowing I went six years quiet loving someone who never heard A child between us and a house built on unsaid words Two years old, alive, every day I miss To be unheard is a pain I can't forget So I kept reacting from the place nobody reached Trying to explain the hurt, but the hurt swallowed speech So I'm sorry for the ways my fear came through I was acting from a place of trauma and pain too [Chorus | full energy, stacked harmonies | driving bounce] You gave me what you wanted to give I gave the last part of me I knew how to live with I wasn't chasing a label, wasn't begging for forever I just couldn't hand my heart to somebody else, not ever You needed room, I needed to be heard, seen, loved Those were never unreasonable words I miss your warm smile, your contagious energy Every care you gave, I tried to return, just not received Wanted to lift you, not erase your past Take your heavy load and make the peace last Love with no title still leaves a scar Care turns cold when it grows in the dark Watched the sickness take pieces away Grieving friends gone, waiting on goodbye every day I couldn't save you, couldn't change your mind You said you never cared, left me far behind [Pre-Chorus] I'm not your enemy, and you're not mine We were two unfinished stories crossing at the wrong time If leaving gives you breathing room, I won't turn it into blame Just promise me you won't lose yourself and get led astray [Final Chorus] You gave me what you wanted to give I gave the last part of me I knew how to live with I wasn't chasing a title, I was trying to stay real There was more love in what I offered than I knew how to feel You needed room, I needed to be heard, seen, loved Those were never unreasonable words I miss your warm smile, your contagious energy The more time I spent with you, the less I recognized me [Outro] Even if letting go means finding my way back to me I'm learning how to let it be
