Yeah… You said don’t hurt me… I heard you. You said, “Don’t hurt me,” that’s the only way you stay, Love feel like a courtroom every time I say your name. I’m on trial for emotions I don’t even replay, Still I take the blame… yeah, I take the blame. I dim my light just to match your shade, Mute my fire, let it fade. I shrink myself just to make you safe, Cut my pride down just to keep my place. I kept the magic alive, Cut myself down to survive. You said you’d stay if I swore no pain, So I erased myself again. You liked the mask, not the soul, Not the soul… Not the soul. Played it cool, played my role, Gave you heart, you wanted control. Every time I got too real, You’d remind me how you feel. I kept it alive for you, Even when I knew the truth. But I was never who you feared I’d be, You built that version, that wasn’t me. You were the storm that you blamed on me, You set it off then called it “we.” And I stayed solid through it all, You kept one foot out the door. I kept the magic alive, Cut myself down to survive. You said you’d stay if I swore no pain, So I erased myself again. You liked the mask, not the soul, Liked control, not the whole. “Don’t hurt me,” that’s what you say, But love shouldn’t work that way. You say you don’t want magic to end Not like this… not like this… But when you split your heart in two, You break the bond that carried you. If you play too many sides at once, You lose the one that stayed true. You set the terms, you crossed the line, Feared I’d break you - but you broke mine. I kept the magic alive for you, But you had options on the side, didn’t you? You said don’t hurt me… You never said you wouldn’t.
