I Saw It - Aliza
I saw it
And the way you held your phone
Thumb half-typed
Then you turned the screen
You laughed at something I would never know
Right there
I felt the floor lean
I saw it
Every time your eyes went somewhere else
I saw it
All the little ways you blamed yourself
You were here but already gone
Heart still warm and still warm
I saw it
I saw it slipping off
You kissed me like you had a train to catch
Quick, polite, like a practiced scene
You talked in circles just to dodge my name
Said it's nothing, but your face went clean
I saw it
Every time your eyes went somewhere else
I saw it
All the little ways you blamed yourself
You were here but already gone
Heart still warm and still warm
I saw it
I saw it slipping off
I replay every silence
Every shrug, every almost smile
Did you hope I wouldn't notice?
I was counting every fragile mile
You were halfway out the door
All I was asking you for more
I saw it
Every time your eyes went somewhere else
I saw it
All the little ways you blamed yourself
You were here but already gone
Heart still warm and still warm
I saw it
I saw it slipping off
I saw it come and still I stayed
Still I held on
I'm staring at the ceiling
Whispering
Where did we go wrong?
I saw it
I saw it all along
