Heavier Than Love

Verse 1
I learned your breathing like a lullaby
Stayed up counting every time you didn’t reply
You said “I’m fine,” but your voice went cold
And I kept loving you like it was gold

I held your secrets like they were mine
You held my heart like it was just time
Something to waste, something to kill
While I stood here loving you still

Pre-Chorus
I kept shrinking just to fit your space
You never even said my name the same way

Chorus
I’m on the heavier side of love
Bleeding just to feel your touch
You barely needed me at all
But I needed you too much
I cried into your silence
You slept through every storm
I was breaking in your arms
While you were never really there to hold

Verse 2
I reread messages you didn’t mean
Tried to find love in what was in between
Every “goodnight” felt like goodbye
And I still kissed you like it wasn’t a lie

I memorized every inch of your pain
Hoping one day you’d say my name
Like it mattered, like I was real
But I was just something you didn’t feel

Pre-Chorus
I was drowning while you stood on shore
And you never asked what I was drowning for

Chorus
I’m on the heavier side of love
Bleeding just to feel your touch
You barely needed me at all
But I needed you too much
I cried into your silence
You slept through every storm
I was breaking in your arms
While you were never really there to hold

Bridge
Was I just a habit you couldn’t quit?
Or a placeholder you never fit?
‘Cause I gave you every shattered piece
And you still chose not to keep me

I whispered “stay” into your chest
You whispered nothing back, I guess
And that’s the part that hurts the most
Loving someone who feels like a ghost

Breakdown
I’m so tired of loving you alone
Of begging a heart that’s never home

Final Chorus
I’m still on the heavier side of love
Even when I’m giving up
‘Cause part of me still wants you here
Even knowing you won’t come
I built a home inside your arms
You left me in the dust
Now I’m haunted by a love
That was never really us

Outro
You didn’t lose me… you let me fade
And I stayed long enough to watch it happen**
