Você Disse Que Ia Ficar

You said you were going to stay
But it vanished as if it had never existed
And me?
I was captivated by your words

I used to be the kind of guy who believed in promises
Today I only collect silence and unread messages
You came here saying you understood my pain
And in the end, it was just another thing that reopened the wound

I showed you my world, my traumas, my falls
I introduced you to the mess I call my heart
You looked, pretended to accept
But I was already thinking about the best escape route in another direction

I was told that love heals
But yours only left me more broken
You left with everything I trusted
And I kept counting the spaces

How many times did I pretend I was okay just so you could have peace?
How many times have I kept silent about the pain so as not to burden you?
In the end, I was the one who was left with everything bottled up inside
And you didn't even try to listen to me

You said you were going to stay
But it became a painful memory that hurts even when I sleep
He promised he wasn't like the others
But he left, taking with him what was most human in me

You said you were going to understand my side
But he ran away when the truth came out
He said he was going to heal me
But it was you who hurt me the most

I grew up not knowing how to deal with abandonment
And yet I let you in
I thought it would be different this time
But in the end it was just another it won't last

You weren't the only one who left me
It was everything that came together: The memories, the plans, the hope
Today I sing as a way to breathe
Because keeping all of this inside is no longer enough for me

I got lost in the unfulfilled promises
And I was left with the words stuck in my throat over time
What I was with you will never come back
And this emptiness inside doesn't lie, it's what's left of the feeling

I was always the one who loved too much
While all you knew how to do was leave
And now you're living normal lives
And me?
I'm still trying to sleep

You said you were going to stay
But she didn't even look back when I let go of your hand
He said he saw me like no one else did
But it left me in the dark

You swore you wouldn't give up on me
But he left without even saying goodbye
Today I write with what's left
Of a love that only existed on one side, after all

I saw you as someone who was going to change my life
But you only showed me that trusting is dangerous
Every sentence of yours seemed eternal to me
But in the end, it was just another deceitful game

I spent nights rereading the conversations
Trying to understand where I went wrong
But you had already disappeared from the lines
While I was still lost in everything I had dreamed of

Reality was too harsh
But I was even more affected by enduring it in silence
You disappeared, and nobody noticed
But your message still echoes inside me

I collapsed in silence
Because I learned early on that nobody could hold me back
But when you promised you would be there
I thought: Maybe now I can rest

But rest did not come
Just another dose of frustration
You left me waiting
In a place where no one holds your hand

I no longer know what it means to truly feel
Because everything I feel has your name on it
And even though today I say that I've overcome it
Just touch that all-consuming memory

If one day you come back and hear this song
Perhaps you'll understand what I never said out loud
This is not just a letter
It's the part of me that you killed without realizing it

I want neither revenge nor forgiveness
I just wish it had been real
But everything that was
It remained only in my sentimental part

You said you were going to stay
And for a long time I waited
But today I sing for myself
Because you are no longer part of who I will be

You said it was love
But love doesn't abandon you in the dark
What if one day I hear this song?
I hope you understand: I survived your future

You said you were going to stay
But it disappeared
And me?
I stayed and transformed your absence into art
