Only love me at night

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

You said I was different, said I felt like home

But I was just the girl you’d call when you felt alone

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

---

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

You played me like silence, soft and slow

And I bled for a boy who’d never show

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

---

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

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
