Whispers in the dark

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

And I...

I’m not the type to fall too fast

But I believed this love could last

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?

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

And I...

I’ve been alone for far too long

Thought I’d found where I belong

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?

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

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?

I don’t fall often...

And now I don’t think I ever will again.
