Verse 1 I held your pain like it was mine While you slept peaceful every night I learned your scars, your fears, your past You learned my body… not my heart I waited days just for your call Still defended you to them all I kept believing you’d come through While every tear was telling me the truth Pre-Chorus I was praying for a change You were comfortable the same I was loving for two While you were just passing through Chorus I loved you alone In a room full of us I was drowning in feelings You were barely in love I gave you my soul You gave me excuses I stayed when it hurt You left when it bruised you I loved you alone And that’s why it broke me Verse 2 I silenced my needs to keep the peace I shrank myself so you could breathe I forgave things I should’ve ran from Just to feel chosen by someone I watched you pull away slow Felt it deep before you let go Your goodbye was quiet and cold Like you already let me go long ago Pre-Chorus I begged for effort You called me “too much” Funny how love feels heavy When you don’t give enough Chorus I loved you alone While you loved the idea You held my hand But you were never here I gave you my truth You gave me denial I broke in silence While you smiled I loved you alone And it still haunts me Bridge (breakdown – almost whispered) If loving you means losing me Then I choose the pain, not the fantasy I can’t bleed just to prove my worth I’ve been dying just to make it work Tell me— How do you miss someone Who never really stayed? Chorus (final – full emotion) I loved you alone With everything I had You took my best And left me the bad I kept choosing hope You kept choosing fear And now I’m healing From loving you here Outro I don’t regret the love I gave I regret who I gave it to I loved you alone… And it nearly ruined me
