Love dont live here.

[Verse 1 (intimate, worn-in honesty]

I’m done with the crying
Done believing the lies
Done walking around
With a smile that don’t feel like mine
I bent myself backwards
Trying to be what you need
But you were looking right through me
Like I wasn’t even there to see

[Pre-Chorus (quiet frustration]

I gave you my patience
I gave you my time
But somehow your heart
Was always ahead of mine

[Chorus (big, aching but controlled]

You say that you care
You say that you’re hurt
But you always find a way
To put your feelings first
It ain’t what you say
It’s the things that you do
Your words don’t mean nothing
If they’re killing the truth
So please leave me alone
Yeah now I know
Love don’t live here anymore

[Verse 2 (more direct, heavier]

The time that I gave you
Came with a price
I didn’t see it coming
But it almost cost me my life
I’m done with the trying
Done breaking inside
I don’t wanna lose myself
Just to keep you satisfied

[Pre-Chorus 2 (cracked resolve]

I was holding my breath
Just hoping you’d change
But love shouldn’t feel
Like standing in flames

[Chorus full, emotional weight]

You say that you care
You say that you’re hurt
But you always find a way
To put your feelings first
It ain’t what you say
It’s the things that you do
Your words don’t mean nothing
When they’re tearing me through
So please leave me alone
Yeah now I know
Love don’t live here anymore

[Bridge (drop everything, almost spoken]

I don’t hate you
I just chose myself
I need some space
I need some help
Life ain’t easy
But I swear it’s more than this
It’s gotta be more than this

[Final Chorus (gospel lift, restrained power]

You say that you care
You say that you’re hurt
But you always find a way
To put your feelings first
It ain’t what you say
It’s the things that you do
Your words don’t mean nothing
If they ain’t backed by truth
So please leave me alone
Yeah now I know
Love don’t live here anymore

[Outro soft, resolved]

I’m finding myself
Learning how to heal
And for the first time in a while
Yeah… I finally feel
