Whispers in the dark

[Verse 1]
When we’re alone, you say I’m your world
You trace your love like a perfect swirl
Eyes like fire, hands so warm
But your silence has a colder form
'Cause when you're gone, your stories stray
You talk to them like I'm in the way
You share my scars like they’re a joke
To strangers tasting every word you spoke
[Pre-Chorus]
And I...
I’m not the type to fall too fast
But I believed this love could last
[Chorus]
If you loved me, why'd you whisper in the dark?
Why'd you let them hear what's bruised my heart?
You act like I'm your only man
Then let them in on who I am
I could walk away, and maybe I should
But I still hold on more than I should
If you loved me…
Why does it feel like you don’t?
[Verse 2]
You play the part with flawless grace
But I see through the mask you wear on your face
They know things I only told to you
Now your words are lost in shades of untrue
You made me feel like I belonged
But something in this love feels wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
And I...
I’ve been alone for far too long
Thought I’d found where I belong
[Chorus]
If you loved me, why'd you whisper in the dark?
Why'd you sell my soul like a broken part?
You look at me like I'm your home
But turn around and I’m all alone
I should break away, try to be strong
But I still stay where I don’t belong
If you loved me…
Why does it feel like you don’t?
[Bridge – stripped down, raw vocal]
You say it's nothing, you swear you're true
But I know what you’ve let them chew through
You drag my name from place to place
[Final Chorus]
If you loved me, why'd you bleed me slow?
Smiling wide while you let it go
I gave you parts I never gave
But now I'm the fool you couldn't save
I could end this now, walk into the night
But you're the only wrong that ever felt right
If you loved me…
Why does it feel like you don’t?
[Outro – soft, fading]
I don’t fall often...
And now I don’t think I ever will again.
