Lyrics

Ooh, yeah
I knew the whole time
It's the part I keep coming back to
Ooh, I knew
Yes, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm fourteen, the energy shifted
Felt it in the way you answered, something lifted
Out the room before you even walked in
I clocked your face before you started talking
Replies got slow, excuses got creative
Girl trips multiplied, I stopped being invited
New music in your phone, I heard it through the wall
Someone else's taste bleeding through the hall
You laughed at your scream but never showed me why
I catalogued that moment, let it slide
Told myself it's nothing, told myself it's fine
I was building alibis for you inside my mind
The compliments stopped landing how they used to
Like I say the right words to the wrong woman
Watched you get dressed up and go somewhere without me
And I sat with it, cause leaving first would cost me
See, I ain't built to be the one who walks
I'm built to stay too long and overanalyze it all
I read every signal, mapped the distance
Knew the map was off and still signed off on the business
I saw it coming, yeah, I saw it all
Read every sign and watched it fading
Still, I didn't call it
Stayed inside the wreckage acting like it wasn't falling
And when it finally ended, I was ready
That's the haunting, saw it coming
Had the proof right there, chose to look away
Cause looking meant I'd have to care enough to leave
And leaving felt like losing
So I stayed inside a love that was already grieving me
I won't lie, the optics kept me comfortable
You looked good on my arm and that felt functional
Stability's a drug when your world moves fast
And you was something solid I could point to
In the chaos deep down, I believe that if I loved you harder
I could be the reason that you stayed and went no further
Like my presence was enough to pull you back to center
Ego wrapped in love, I thought that I could fix the weather
So I planted trees we never took
Kept reservations for a chapter that you'd already closed the book
I was writing us a future while you were writing exits
And I told myself the silence was just stress, it wasn't
That last evening, you were there but absent
Sitting across from me like something undone
Unfinished, no big fight, no dramatic exit
Just two people realizing the truth that already happened
You walked out calm, I let you go the same way
No begging, no performance, just the weight of a weekday
Locked the door and sat down in the quiet, in the quiet
Finally said the thing I've been avoiding
I saw it coming, yeah, I saw it all
Read every sign and watched us fading
Still, I didn't call it, stayed inside the wreckage
Acting like it wasn't falling
When it finally ended, I was ready
That's the haunting, saw it coming
Had the proof right there, chose to look away
Cause looking meant I'd have to care enough to leave
And leaving felt like losing
So I stayed inside a love that was already grieving me
Three, three, three, three weeks out and she's already living
Rooftop in the city that I mentioned, different vision
Someone behind the camera that ain't no girlfriend
Laughing like she never lost a night of sleep on ascending
And here's the part that hit me like a verdict
She wasn't unhappy with love, she was unhappy with aversion
She had the energy somewhere before she ever moved a thing
I was talking to a woman who was living in her dreams
The image in my chest like confirmation
Everything I clocked for months became a full equation
She didn't know me sadness, didn't know me time to heal
But watching her glow like that made every warning sign feel real
See, I'm not angry, let me make that very clear
She didn't lie or break me, I just chose not to heal
I saw the exits, I just didn't move toward the door
Stayed cause comfort felt like love and I confused the two before
And that's on me, I own him fully, no revision
I watched slowly turn to flooding, kept on living
Like I thought my love was loud enough to change the ending
Like if I just stayed patient, she'd come back to what we had in the beginning
I kept her on a pedestal and called it dedication
Dressed up my denial as some kind of deep devotion
Every man got a line where the truth gets inconvenient
Mine was much more teeming, I crossed it without meaning
So now I sit with everything I knew and didn't act on
All the moments I rewrote to make the picture look less fractured
I was so convinced that staying was the harder, braver thing to do
But the bravest thing would've been to say
I see you leaving and let you
I hope you're good, I genuinely mean it
I see you out there living and I don't feel defeated
Just this hollow kind of wisdom where the love see
Thanks for watching
