YOU KNEW I WAS BLEEDING

**Verse I**

You said my name like a habit

Like something you forgot to mean

I kept waiting for warmth

While you watched me freeze

You felt me pulling away from myself

And called it me being weak

I was breaking right in front of you

You didn’t even blink

**Pre-Chorus**

I asked you to stay

You asked for space

You knew what that would do to me

**Chorus**

YOU KNEW I WAS BLEEDING

AND YOU LET IT HAPPEN

YOU SAW ME FALL APART

AND NEVER REACHED BACK IN

I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING

YOU GAVE ME DISTANCE

DON’T CALL IT LOVE

WHEN IT WAS NEGLIGENCE

**Verse II**

You loved me best when I was silent

When I didn’t ask for more

You only showed up halfway

Then wondered why I was on the floor

I bent myself into something smaller

Just to fit your life

You called it compromise

While I called it losing my mind

**Pre-Chorus**

Say you didn’t notice

Say you were blind

But you watched me disappear

In real time

**Chorus**

YOU KNEW I WAS BLEEDING

AND YOU LET IT HAPPEN

YOU HEARD EVERY CRACK

AND STILL NEVER STEPPED IN

I GAVE YOU MY HEART

LIKE IT WAS WORTH SAVING

YOU STARVED IT OF LOVE

AND CALLED IT PATIENCE

**Bridge (low, shaking with anger)**

Don’t look at me

Like this was fate

You made choices

Every day

I wasn’t hard to love

I was easy to ignore

**Breakdown (angry, desperate)**

I STAYED

WHEN I SHOULD’VE LEFT

I SCREAMED

AND YOU CALLED IT STRESS

I WAS DROWNING

RIGHT NEXT TO YOU

AND YOU PRETENDED

IT WASN’T TRUE

**Final Chorus (full, furious + hurt)**

YOU KNEW I WAS BLEEDING

AND YOU DID NOTHING

YOU CALLED IT DISTANCE

I CALLED IT LOSING EVERYTHING

I GAVE YOU MY SOUL

YOU LET IT DECAY

DON’T SAY YOU’RE SORRY

YOU KNEW — AND YOU STAYED AWAY

**Outro (cold, exhausted)**

I don’t miss you

I miss the version of me

That still believed

You would care.
