You said you were tired
But somehow still stayed up all night
Liking strangers' photos
And ignoring my texts
Funny, isn't it
How love becomes a one-way street
You keep directing me down
With a shrug and a smile
That never reaches your bloody eyes
I gave you mornings
The soft ones with toast and tea
You gave me evenings
Where your phone had more intimacy than me
And yet somehow I still hoped
You'd learn the shape of effort
I can't keep loving someone
Who only brings half a heart
Who slips through every kindness
Like it's too heavy to hold
I gave you everything
You gave me the cold
If love's a language
You only learned the start
I can't keep loving someone
With half a heart
You kissed like promise
But lived like apology
I carried the weight of us
While you travelled light
No baggage, no plans
Just drifting from maybe to might
I should've seen it sooner
The way your affection came in teaspoons
While mine poured in riverfuls
You loved convenience
I loved you
God, what a mismatch
Funny how silence
Can tell you what the heart won't
I can't keep loving someone
Who only brings half a heart
Who slips through every kindness
Like it's too heavy to hold
I gave you everything
You gave me the cold
If love's a language
You only learned the start
I can't keep loving someone
With half a heart
One day you'll meet someone
Who loves you the way I did
And you'll feel the sting of realising
You never learned how to love back
And maybe then
You'll finally understand
Why I had to leave
I can't keep loving someone
Who only brings half a heart
I'm done dragging your shadow
Through my light-filled parts
I gave you everything
You gave me the cold
And I'm done rewriting stories
That never unfold
If love's a language
You never learnt the art
I can't keep loving someone
With half a heart
