[Intro]
Verse 1
I’m close to not caring, I’m done with the sharing
Every time I open up it’s blood in the air
I’ve bled for connections that never stay fair
Heart on the table, they leave it right there
I’m weak from watching selfish hands take and take
They plow straight ahead, never look, never wait
I swallowed my voice, called it keeping the peace
But silence got heavy, now it’s making me sick
Pre-Chorus
I trained my heart to be honest, to stay true
But nothing comes easy the way it seems to for you
My intentions fall flat, get twisted, misplaced
I give them my best, they give me disgrace
Chorus
(HOOK)
If I don’t love again, don’t call me cold
I carried too much for too long on my own
My heart still feels, yeah it always will
But I’m tired of bleeding just to prove that I’m real
So if I walk away, if I let it be
It’s not that I’m broken —
It’s because I’m weary
Verse 2
Sometimes I wonder if I’m paying a debt
For a life I don’t remember, a soul I regret
‘Cause the love that I give feels empty, misread
No meaning in the words when they leave my chest
My heart swells up, my eyes always tell
I can’t hide the weight of this personal hell
Surrounded by people, still alone in the room
Smiling through echoes of an empty truth
Pre-Chorus
I stayed too long, called it loyalty
But complacency’s poison, it’s killing me
I held the line, I played my part
Now I’m jaded from guarding a genuine heart
Chorus
If I don’t love again, don’t call me cold
I carried too much for too long on my own
My heart still feels, yeah it always will
But I’m tired of bleeding just to prove that I’m real
So if I walk away, if I let it be
It’s not that I’m broken —
It’s because I’m weary
Bridge
My life is my life
My strife is my own
I tried to save worlds
While losing my home
I know how to love
I just don’t know when
It stops being healing
And starts hurting again
Break
(half-time, emotional hit)
Don’t ask me for more
When I’m running on fumes
Don’t ask me to stay
In a heart-shaped wound
Final Chorus
If I don’t love again, don’t shame my soul
I gave it all till there was nothing to hold
My heart still beats, my scars still feel
But I won’t die slowly just to keep love ideal
So if I choose peace, if I set it free
It’s not that I’m heartless —
It’s because I’m wearyYeah…
Still human.
Still here.
Just weary.
