Some things, J versuri

Some things, J lyrics by Melissa Kimai

Verse 1
You saw me smile, thought I was fine
Like I wasn’t still sinking slow
You thought the dark was done
That maybe I’d really moved on
But I pulled back
Stopped calling, left that gap
You never asked, just let it be
And I never said what he did to me

Pre-Chorus
You spent your life catching my fall
I couldn’t let you take it all

Chorus
If you knew how bad it got
The nights I drank, how much I lost
If you knew the things he said
The way he fucked with my head
If you saw the cracks I hide
You’d blame yourself for letting it slide
That’s the truth I always protect
Evеn now, with every breath

Verse 2
I liеd and said he brought me peace
While he wrecked me piece by piece
Told you love was why I stayed
Not fear, not shame, not getting played
You saw a light, I let it show
For once, you weren’t weighed down, I know
And when it all turned black again
I kept my distance, didn’t come then

Pre-Chorus
I wore the mask so you’d be free
From one more weight you didn’t need

Chorus
If you knew the nights I cried
The fights I lost, the parts that died
If you knew the truths I bent
So you could breathe, not resent
If you saw the version he broke
The grip, the games, the words he spoke
You’d wonder why I let it slide
But some things, J, I’ll never say

Bridge
I needed you to think I healed
Not watch me spiral, raw and real
I needed you to breathe, not fall
Not watch me break, not see it all

Final Chorus
If you knew how deep it went
What it cost to just pretend
If you knew how hard I tried
To keep you safe from what’s inside
If you asked, I’d fall apart
Couldn’t even get the words to start
So I just keep on telling you
What I need you to think is true

Final Line
But some things, J, I’ll never say
