Only love me at night

[Verse 1]
You said you missed me like it meant something real
Said you dreamed of me, like dreams could heal
But your love came in whispers, under dim-lit sheets
And vanished by morning like a lie on repeat
[Pre-Chorus]
You said I was different, said I felt like home
But I was just the girl you’d call when you felt alone
[Chorus]
I’m the girl you touch when the lights go low
But not the one you’d ever proudly show
I’m the secret you keep, the one you forget
The soft goodbye you’ll always regret
You say you care, but you never fight
You only love me at night
---
[Verse 2]
You said “end game,” and I almost believed
I held my breath in the hope you’d never leave
But then you dropped her name like it meant nothing at all
Like I’d wait in your shadow, just to feel small
[Pre-Chorus]
You played me like silence, soft and slow
And I bled for a boy who’d never show
[Chorus]
I’m the girl you hold when you’re empty inside
But not the one you’d stand beside
I’m the past you rewind when it’s easy to crave
But never the one you’d try to save
You say I’m real, but you dim my light
You only love me at night
---
[Bridge]
I gave you every piece you asked for
Now I’m sweeping up the girl from the floor
You never saw the fire in me
But I’ll rise from these ashes beautifully
[Chorus]
I’m not the girl you just undress
Not your soft sin or your second guess
I’m the storm, the truth, the voice you drown
But I won’t be the one you break down
So take your ghosts, take your lies, take your bite—
You don’t get to love me just at night
