You Didn’t Let Me Speak


I thought you’d see the joke in time,

But you only saw the worst.

I played a role I shouldn’t play,

And now I see the hurt.

You called me what I’m not,

Like it was crystal clear.

But it was never real —

Just a dumb idea, not cheating, dear.

⸻


I know I made it messy,

And now it’s hard to prove.

But you were halfway gone already

Before I had a chance to tell the truth.


You didn’t let me speak,

You believed the lie.

I was only being foolish,

Not trying to say goodbye.

You said I broke your heart,

But it was all pretend.

Now you’re gone, and I’m still here,

Paying for what I didn’t intend.


I get that it looked bad,

Didn’t feel like love at all.

But sometimes one bad moment

Is all it takes to fall.

You thought I tried to fool you,

But I was fooling me.

Trying to be funny —

Now you’re just a memory.


You didn’t wait for answers,

Just turned and walked away.

I was guilty of bad judgment,

But not of the games you say.


You didn’t let me speak,

You shut the whole thing down.

I tried to say “I’m sorry,”

But you wouldn’t stick around.

You said it felt too real,

But I was acting fake.

Now I’m losing something true

For one stupid, careless mistake.


Now I’m too hurt to chase you,

Too proud to beg again.

But deep inside I’m hoping

You’ll ask me what I meant.

I never meant to lose you,

Or make you feel betrayed.

But silence became your verdict —

And now I’m the one who pays.


You didn’t let me speak,

But I messed up too.

I thought you’d laugh with me —

But I ended up losing you.

You saw a kind of pain

I never meant to make.

Now we’re both left with silence —

And a heartbreak we both made
