I waited for the moment you’d notice on your own The shift in the air the weight I had shown I didn’t want to point I didn’t want to name I wanted you to feel it without me lighting the flame I sat there hoping you’d connect the dots first That you’d look at what happened and feel the reverse Instead I had to bring it up just to watch you stall That’s the part that turned it from hurt into all I thought if it mattered you’d arrive there yourself You’d feel the regret without me taking it off the shelf I gave you the space I gave you the time You treated the silence like everything was still aligned I didn’t want the apology I had to extract I wanted the one that came before I had to act The one you offered because you actually saw Not the one you gave because I finally drew the law I shouldn’t have had to say it I shouldn’t have had to wait You should’ve felt it Before I had to state I wanted you to feel sorry before I had to ask I wanted you to get there without me doing the task I wanted you to feel sorry before I had to ask The fact that I had to say it is what made it last If I have to request it It already lost its weight I wanted the version That came without the wait I wanted you to feel sorry before I had to ask I wanted you to get there without me doing the task I wanted you to feel sorry before I had to ask The fact that I had to say it is what made it last I wanted you to feel it I wanted you to know I didn’t want to ask I wanted you to feel sorry before I had to ask I wanted you to get there without me doing the task I wanted you to feel sorry before I had to ask The fact that I had to say it is what made it last I wanted you to feel it first That’s all I ever wanted
