[Verse 1] You never held my hand in public You always walked ahead Like loving me in daylight Was something left unsaid You kept distance in the photos Stayed careful with my name And I kept trying harder While you kept acting ashamed [Pre-Chorus] Love don’t make somebody feel hidden Love don’t feel like being erased [Chorus] How do you hate the one you love? Sleep beside them every night Build a home and raise some children While slowly dimming all their light You kissed me with resentment Touched me like obligation And I spent years mistaking Contempt for complication [Verse 2] I started shrinking in your presence Second-guessing every word Trying not to seem “too much” Just to finally feel deserved You made distance feel so normal I forgot what closeness was And somewhere in that silence I stopped recognizing us
