if you think I don’t love you

Verse 1 Look at me if you think I don’t love you, I wait where the daylight dies. I rehearsed my exit a thousand times, Still stayed every night. Verse 2 Look at me if you think I don’t love you, I mastered the art of delay. I folded my heart into something small, So it wouldn’t get in your way. Chorus Oh, I love you quietly, Like a wound that never heals. I bleed in places no one checks, And call it being real. Verse 3 Look at me if you think I don’t love you, I smile like nothing’s wrong. I’ve been losing you in slow motion, But I swear I held on. Verse 4 Look at me if you think I don’t love you, I confuse fear with control. I stood so firm I cracked inside, Trying not to lose my role. Chorus Oh, I love you quietly, In a language made of shame. I never said your name out loud, But everything felt the same. Bridge If silence had a body, it would look like me, Standing where you said goodbye. I loved you more in every breath I swallowed just to survive. If love is proved by what you lose, Then I’ve paid it all in full. I emptied myself to keep you safe, And called that being faithful. Final Chorus Oh, I love you quietly, It’s a violence turned inward. If you were waiting for devotion, I was dying in the corner. Outro So look at me If you still think I don’t love you
