You said it was fine You said you were good You said you understood me Better than you should I kept it light, kept it vague I kept one foot out the door You kept asking if I’d stay I kept asking you what for You kept defending The version of me That only shows up Gets pissed then leaves I watched your face change When I pulled back again Said that I just needed space But that’s not where it ends I heard you cry When you thought I couldn’t hear Crying right through the night Whenever I disappear I heard you cry But I said nothing back I let you blame yourself Cuz that's just how I act You thought it was timing You thought it was you But I knew what I was doing And I think you knew it too I said I was broken Said I’d been hurt Like that gives me permission To treat you worse I played the wounded You played the cure But I never wanted To make it hurt more You weren’t dramatic You weren’t insane I repeat the pattern Then I walk away I heard you cry When you thought I couldn’t hear Crying right through the night Whenever I disappear I heard you cry But I said nothing back I let you blame yourself Cuz that's just how I act You thought it was timing You thought it was fate But I knew what I was doing And I still walked away I don’t hate you I don’t blame you You're so much braver than me You wanted something steady But what you got is me I heard you cry And I didn’t turn around I watched you breakin in silence And I never made a sound I heard you cry But I said nothing back You deserve a better life Cuz that's just how I act You thought it was timing You thought it was chance But when I heard you crying I didn't even glance I heard you cry I heard you cry But what you got is me
