We looked like we were okay From the outside, nothing changed But something in me started to fall And you didn’t even notice I was fading in the silence Standing right in front of you We kept talking just to hear something Conversations that meant nothing You’d kiss my cheek before you’d leave But never stayed long enough To watch my smile begin to slip I told myself I’d be okay While pieces of me drifted away I was trying just to reach your side Holding back what I couldn’t hide Every time I needed something real You gave me nothing back I was breaking and you let it slide Standing there while everything inside me cried I didn’t need you to fix what I broke I just needed you to hold me close You saw me falling piece by piece But never reached for me I faced the darkest parts of me alone While lying right beside you on my own You didn’t ask if I was okay Didn’t notice I was slipping away I wore my pain in open sight But you just watched me fall apart And maybe that’s what hurts the most Not what you did, but what you didn’t do You watched it all and did nothing but exist While I was breaking in the midst of it I was breaking and you let it slide Standing there while everything inside me cried I didn’t need you to fix what I broke I just needed you to hold me close You saw me falling piece by piece But never reached for me I faced the darkest parts of me alone While lying right beside you on my own What kind of love just looks away When everything begins to cave? What kind of heart stays standing still While mine was breaking against my will? I didn’t need you to take the blame Just to hold me through the pain But you chose silence over care That’s when I knew you weren’t there I broke down in the middle of our life And something in me finally realized Love isn’t quiet when you’re hurting like I was Love doesn’t leave you just because So I’ll gather every shattered piece Find the strength you couldn’t be And walk away from what we called home ’Cause I survived the dark alone You were right beside me But I’ve never felt so alone
