[Intro] I knew you loved me So I thought I had time Thought I could break your trust And still somehow keep you mine [Verse 1] I came home with the same old words The same apology dressed up new I thought your anger would burn out The way it always used to do I thought you’d cry I thought you’d shout I thought eventually you’d calm down But you were quiet Too damn quiet And that’s when fear came around [Chorus] You were supposed to stay That’s what I told myself You loved me too much To choose somebody else But love don’t make you blind forever And sorry don’t erase the pain You asked me, “How do I trust you again?” And I had nothing left to say You were supposed to stay Now I’m watching you walk away [Verse 2] You said, “You’ve said this all before” And every word hit harder then You said, “You only change when losing me Starts feeling real again” I wanted to say, “This time is different” But even I could hear the lie Not because I meant to fake it But because I’d said it too many times [Break – stripped back] You asked me “How can I believe you?” I almost said “Because you love me” And that’s when I finally heard How selfish I had become [Second Chorus – heavier] You were supposed to stay That’s what I told myself I thought your love would carry What I refused to help But love don’t make you weak forever And tears don’t mean you’ll stay the same You asked me, “How do I trust you again?” Now I finally understand the weight You were supposed to stay But I gave you every reason not to [Bridge] I thought forgiveness was a promise You owed me if you cared I thought every time you took me back Meant there’d always be another chance there Now your bags are by the doorway And I’ve got no right to ask, “Don’t leave” Because loving me was never The same as trusting me [Final Refrain] So if you go I won’t call you cruel If you let me go I’ll know I was the fool Put the distance in your eyes Put the silence in this room Made you question every memory Every “I love you” I gave to you I thought you’d always stay I thought love would be enough Now I know I used your love To excuse what I had done [Outro] You asked me “How do I trust you again?” This time I know why you can’t © 2026 Pedro Aleixo / Forgotten Confessions
