False Closure

You spoke the clean lines at the worst times

I patched the holes myself

I scanned your eyes like they meant deeper

Than what you felt

I carried stress you never titled

I shaped it to make sense

I named it us because I lingered

That's on me

If it was staged

Say it straight

Just don't delete

What it did to me

Say it was staged say it was zero

Say what you want

Just don't say I didn't sense

What shut me down

Call it a season call it a snapshot

Say what you need

Just don't say it didn't sting

What ripped me up

I paid

I paid

I paid

For it

You bounced off quick I crawled off slow

That part is loud

You don't hold it the way I do

That's not foul

I ain't begging you to return

Or claim you're wrong

I just won't let you reframe

What I lived through

If it hit small

On your side

That doesn't shift

What it cost me

Say it was staged say it was zero

Say what you want

Just don't say I didn't sense

What shut me down

Call it a season call it a snapshot

Say what you need

Just don't say it didn't sting

What ripped me up

I paid

I paid

I paid

For it

Even rented love leaves a print

Even games can cut

You don't get to pick the fallout

Once it's done

I'm not flexing what I gave

But it was live

And that's the part you can't delete

By leaving

Say it was staged say it was zero

Say what you want

Just don't say I didn't sense

What shut me down

Call it a season call it a snapshot
