(Yeah, yeah)
Listen, Charles.
It’s been quiet for a long time, hasn't it?
Silence speaks louder than words.
I’ve been sitting here in the shadows of this room
Watching you walk past like I’m just part of the furniture
I’ve been quiet, Charles, keeping all my pain inside
Waiting for a sign that you still wanna be by my side
But you’re scrolling through your phone, hiding in plain sight
Different perfume on your collar every single night
I stayed silent just to see if you would ever notice me
But you’re blind to the woman who gave you the keys.
You don’t value what you have, you just throw it all away
I was waiting for a question, but you had nothing to say
Now I see the other woman in the center of your heart
And I’m just a masterpiece that you decided to tear apart
Yeah, you don’t care, no, you never really did
I’m done playing games, I’m done being the kid.
I gave you my loyalty, I gave you my best years
Now I’m just swimming in this ocean of my own tears
Did you ever stop to ask me why I’m pulling back?
Why the fire in our home started turning into black?
No, you didn’t, 'cause your focus is on her tonight
Caught up in the thrill, yeah, you’re chasing all the hype
I kept quiet hoping you would find your way back home
But you left me standing here, feeling all alone.
You don’t value what you have, you just throw it all away
I was waiting for a question, but you had nothing to say
Now I see the other woman in the center of your heart
And I’m just a masterpiece that you decided to tear apart
Yeah, you don’t care, no, you never really did
I’m done playing games, I’m done being the kid.
I see the truth now, it’s written on the walls
I’m tired of waiting for a man who never calls
I was holding on for nothing, just a ghost in your bed
I’m letting go of every single word you never said.
You don’t value what you have, you just throw it all away
I was waiting for a question, but you had nothing to say
Now I see the other woman in the center of your heart
And I’m just a masterpiece that you decided to tear apart
Yeah, you don’t care, no, you never really did
I’m done playing games, I’m done being the kid.
So there’s no problem, Charles.
I’m packing up my pride, and I’m walking out the door.
I wish you well with her.
I don’t want this anymore.
(No more, no more)
(Just wish you well)
(Yeah)
