You said “stay” with trembling lips
So I stayed and sank like ships
You were broken, so was I
But I still loved you like you’re right
I played savior, played the fool
Kept defending every rule
You bent it all, I still obeyed
Just to keep your ghost from fading
And I knew—deep inside
I was choosing pain with pride
You were never made for me
But I kept trying faithfully
I gave my best to the wrong soul
Loved too loud in a world cold
Built you up when I broke down
Smiled for two just to drown
If love was true, I’d belong
But I was just right... for the wrong
I stayed when silence screamed
You left while still unseen
You held my hand, looked through me
Like loyalty was your enemy
I wasn’t love, I was your place to run
A shelter ‘til your next one comes
But I still said “I’m here, it’s fine”
Bleeding slow and calling it mine
And I knew—deep inside
I was choosing pain with pride
You were never made for me
But I kept trying faithfully
I gave my best to the wrong soul
Held you up while I lost control
Kissed a lie, wrote a song
Just to say you were never gone
If love was true, I’d belong
But I was just right... for the wrong
You weren’t bad…
Just not for me.
But I was too loyal… to leave.
