Lyrics

You showed up like summer in February,

shared playlists, candles, borrowed sweaters.

Week three—rings and guest lists on napkins,

baby names, flights for future Decembers.

You sketched a life on the back of a receipt,

held my face like a vow in a chapel.

You wanted the story more than the day,

the trailer cut, not the travel.

You planned a life you never meant to live,

sold me Sunday, paid me Friday night.

You loved the chase, not the after,

you loved the chase, not the after.

All that wedding talk by week three,

all that “forever” for a caption.

You loved the chase, not the after,

you loved the chase, not the after.

I was a promise you rehearsed,

not a person you showed up for.

First time—slow hands, soft thunder,

you said, “I’m safe with you,” breathed like prayer.

Two days later—blue ticks, long gaps,

“I’m swamped,” “not sleeping,” “my head’s not there.”

Our love songs still cue in my queue,

but your voice dropped down to a whisper.

You loved the rush, not the room,

the spark, not the winter.

You planned a life you never meant to live,

left me to proofread your exit.

You loved the chase, not the after,

you loved the chase, not the after.

You painted futures on my skin,

then washed them off by morning.

You loved the chase, not the after,

you loved the chase, not the after.

I was your headline for a night,

not the story you’d stay for.

Playlists, flowers, sunrise plans—

you stacked them like a stage.

You said “home” and you said “always,”

then cut my name right off the line.

If love is real, it stays and works—

yours only chased the rise.

You loved the start, not the staying,

you loved the glow, not morning.

You loved the chase, not the after,

you loved the chase, not the after.

All those silver-easy promises

faded with the quiet light.

You loved the chase, not the after,

I learn to breathe past night.

I won’t be borrowed shelter,

I won’t be gentle cover.

You loved the chase, not the after,

you loved the chase, not the after.

Soft words without a backbone

die when the room goes quiet.

You loved the chase, not the after,

I choose the honest light.

(Your future was a lure; I cut the line.)

(I keep my quiet light.)
