Prompt:

Verse 1 You loved me when it was convenient Called me yours, never really meant it Had me waiting by the phone like I was optional Said you needed time to fix shit While I stayed bleeding, staying with it Kept forgiving things that weren’t forgivable Pre-Chorus I mistook your silence for peace Thought your distance was space I should keep But loving you shouldn’t feel like losing me Chorus So I’m standing on my ground now I don’t beg, I don’t break down I won’t chase what won’t choose me I see clearer when you’re not around Yeah, it hurts, but I found out I’m stronger in my truth, see I fucked up loving you, but I’ll be better without you Verse 2 You looked me in my eyes, swore it was real Said my heart was safe, said “baby, chill” But you held me halfway, never whole I stayed quiet just to keep you Broke myself just so I’d fit you That shit was killing me slow Pre-Chorus I don’t need another apology If it don’t come with accountability I’m done confusing pain for loyalty Chorus So I’m standing on my ground now I don’t beg, I don’t break down I won’t chase what won’t choose me I breathe better when you’re not around Yeah, it hurts, but I found out I’m stronger when I’m just me I fucked up loving you, but I’ll be better without you Bridge (spoken / half-sung, very Destin-coded) I don’t hate you I just don’t need you And that’s the difference you can’t stand You had access to my love And you treated it like a fucking option Final Chorus / Outro So I’m standing on my ground now Look at me — I’m solid now I don’t need you to see me I loved you hard, I stayed too long But I’m good now, I moved on Yeah, you lost me completely I fucked up loving you… But I’ll be better without you
