They Loved Me Broken
[Intro — soft static, heartbeat bass] Yeah… Savage… You said you was locked in… Guess I believed you. Sometimes people learn your pain before they even know your real name… and somehow that starts feeling like love. ⸻ [Verse 1] Scrolling every night while my mind getting darker Comparing my whole life to filters and performers One comment had me questioning myself for hours While everybody online chasing attention and power Started losing touch with who I really was Validation online started feeling like drugs Checking views, checking likes, checking who seen my pain Whole mood changed when my phone stayed quiet all day Then I met you… Late-night talks like nobody else could hear me Two hurt souls trying to survive anxiety Sharing every dark thought trapped inside our heads That’s why it hurt different when you left me unread Thought you was my person… Thought this shit was real… Pain brought us together but that don’t mean we healed. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] And I swear… The more I healed… the more distant it got. Cause misery really love company… and I ain’t realize it till you stopped. ⸻ [Chorus] They loved me broken… Loved me when I cried… But soon as I got stronger… Everybody said goodbye. Guess some people need your darkness just to feel alright… Cause healing made me lonely when I finally saw the light. Now the silence louder than every word we said… Still hearing old conversations replaying in my head. Crazy how you knew my soul so deep… then became somebody I don’t even speak to. ⸻ [Verse 2] Social media got everybody pretending Fake deep friendships built on painful endings Maybe you was hurting… maybe I was too… But I would’ve never disappeared on you. Whole time we was drowning in each other’s damage… Mistaking pain for comfort instead of understanding. Trauma dumping till the sunrise came Thinking emotional chaos was fate Maybe neither one of us was evil… Maybe we both just wanted somebody to stay. ⸻ [Breakdown — emotional] Cause when you stop needing saved… people gotta face why they stayed. Some loved being needed… more than loving YOU. ⸻ [Bridge — soft, emotional] I don’t wanna be loved only when I’m bleeding… I don’t wanna feel needed only when I’m breaking… Why everybody stay for the pain… but leave when the healing starts? ⸻ [Final Chorus] They loved me broken… That’s the hardest truth. Some people love your wounds more than they ever loved you. You said forever while I carried your pain… But healing showed me nothing stayed the same. Now I heal quiet… Even if nobody stays. Cause losing people hurt… but losing myself hurt worse. ⸻ [Outro — fading] Yeah… Maybe we was just two hurt people trying to feel less alone… But I really thought you was locked in.
