You Broke Me

[Verse 1]

I held it in like sacred glass,

Walked on eggshells just to make it last.

Told myself you’d come around—

But I was always bending down.

I wore the calm, I kissed the flame,

Played the peace while you played games.

Told myself I’m just too much…

But baby, that was never love.

[Pre-Chorus ]

You didn’t hit, you didn’t scream—

But you broke me in the in-between.

With all the things you didn’t do,

And every lie you dressed as truth.

[Chorus ]

You broke me like you meant to,

Soft and slow, without a sound.

Not with anger, not with shouting—

But with silence all around.

I tried to name the hurt I knew,

But you made quiet feel like truth.

And now I cry in ways I hide—

You broke me where I breathe inside.

[Verse 2 ]

I begged for crumbs, you called it feast,

Held your chaos on my knees.

You said I’m “strong,” then let me drown—

While calling it a sacred crown.

I don’t hate you. That’s the ache.

I just regret the time I gave.

I built a home you wouldn’t touch—

Then blamed myself for loving much.

[Bridge ]

This kind of pain won’t make a sound…

But it’s the loudest kind around.

It’s not the fall, it’s not the fight—

It’s fading slowly in plain sight.

[Final Chorus ]

You broke me like you meant to,

Soft and slow, without a sound.

Not with anger, not with shouting—

But with silence all around.

You didn’t leave a mark to see—

But I forgot the sound of me.

And now I fight to get her back…

The girl you bent along your tracks.

You broke me like you meant to—

But I’ll rise like something new.

I may have cried, but now I know…

I won't break again for you.
