You Never Begun

เนื้อเพลง

[Verse 1] You said six months, then another year A suitcase parked beside your fear Three birthdays passed, same borrowed room Your mother’s schedule set the tune You called it work, called it a plan But every promise stayed in your hands No rent, no road, no place to land Just her old rules and a younger man [Pre-Chorus] I kept mistaking patience for proof Kept building futures under your roof [Chorus] I’m not your alibi, not your second mom Not the secret spouse who keeps the household calm You can circle that driveway till the tires go flat But I won’t spend another year waiting for you to act I loved who you said you’d become Now I’m leaving with the truth: you never begun [Verse 2] The truck note late, the cupboards bare Pill bottles hidden everywhere A smile with empty spaces showing Still you swore the business was growing She called, you ran, I learned the cue Her emergencies outranked me too I watched you shrink beneath her roof Then blamed myself for wanting proof [Pre-Chorus] Three years of almost, three years of doubt I finally know what I’m walking out [Chorus] I’m not your alibi, not your second mom Not the secret spouse who keeps the household calm You can circle that driveway till the tires go flat But I won’t spend another year waiting for you to act I loved who you said you’d become Now I’m leaving with the truth: you never begun [Bridge] Maybe she needs you, maybe you need the lie Maybe rescue is the only way you know how to survive But I am not a room you can lock from the inside And love is not a reason to let my whole life hide [Final Chorus] I’m not your alibi, not your second mom Not the secret spouse who keeps the household calm Take your promises back to that familiar door I won’t confuse your potential with a future anymore I loved who you said you’d become Now I’m leaving with the truth: you never begun [Outro] The suitcase leaves before the morning call No more waiting in that hallway No more waiting at all
