You always spoke like the room was yours

Took up the space, then asked for more

You said your lines like you rehearsed

But never once did you check if I hurt

You let me orbit, watched me spin

Called it balance, called it thin

You say you gave it all, then left

But love was silence, not the steps

You say “so” like that clears the air

But I was drowning while you stood there

You wanted ease, I gave you grace

You wanted truth, but not my face

If you only asked, you might’ve known

I waited nights you never phoned

You wanted love without the mess

I wore the calm, you missed the stress

If you only asked instead of “so”

I would've told you what I don’t show

But you liked me quiet, liked me small

Now I don’t answer when you call

I matched your cool, I matched your pace

I bit my tongue to keep the space

You said I changed, but so did you

You built a world I tiptoed through

You think you’re brave for letting go

But I let go a year ago

You gave your version, clean and neat

I lived the part, then took my seat

If you only asked, you might’ve seen

I was never quite what you believed

You wanted someone soft and vague

But I was steel wrapped in a wave

If you only asked instead of “so”

You’d hear the things I never showed

But now the film’s already burned

And I’ve got pages left to turn

You told the story like you tried

I lived the silence by your side

Now that it’s over, here’s the truth

I never stopped being good to you

If you only asked, not just assumed

You’d know I left that silent room

Long before you said goodbye

So maybe “so” was always mine
