Verse 1
I memorized your silence,
Like it was my favorite song,
Every “I’m fine” you whispered
Was a lie I sang along.
I gave you all my daylight,
You left me with the rain,
Smiling through the damage,
Calling heartbreak “love in pain.”
Pre-Chorus
I kept choosing you
Even when you never chose me,
I was standing in your arms
Still feeling lonely.
Chorus
I loved you louder than you loved me,
Held on when you let go free,
I broke myself just to fit
In a heart that never noticed me.
If loving you was bravery,
Then losing you’s my fate,
I survived you every night
But I died every day.
Verse 2
I stitched my wounds with promises
You never meant to keep,
I stayed awake for your calls
While you slept so peacefully.
You said I was your “almost,”
Your “maybe,” your “someday,”
But I was always there for you
While you were always halfway.
Pre-Chorus
I learned how to beg in silence,
How to cry without a sound,
How to love someone
Who was already walking out.
Chorus
I loved you louder than you loved me,
Held on when you let go free,
I broke myself just to fit
In a heart that never noticed me.
If loving you was bravery,
Then losing you’s my fate,
I survived you every night
But I died every day.
Bridge
One day you’ll miss the way
I stayed when leaving was easier,
You’ll search for my love
In someone who won’t hold you gentler.
And I’ll still feel the echo
Of your name in my chest,
Not because I want you back—
But because you hurt me best.
Final Chorus
I won’t love louder than I’m loved again,
Won’t bleed just to make you stay,
But some scars don’t fade with time,
They just learn how to behave.
If loving you was a lesson,
Then pain was what I paid,
I survived you every night…
But I died every day.
Outro
I didn’t lose you…
I lost myself loving you.
