Accept It

You stopped answering
But you never stopped listening
I saw you hesitate
You already knew where this would lead

You said you'd never cross this line again
You said you buried everything we were
But I watched you look behind
Like something was still alive

You closed your eyes
But you didn't leave
You never leave
You hold your breath
Like I might disappear
But I've been here
Long before your fear

You feel it now
Under your skin
You don't fight it
You give in

You can run
You can hide
(Go ahead)
But you can't escape
What lives inside
(You know it's true)

You shut the door
You turned your back
(But you came back)
Every step
Leads you back

You don't belong
Where you pretend
(Look at yourself)
You belong here
In the end
(Accept it)
You belong here
In the end
(Accept it)

You built a life they recognize
A perfect face, a perfect lie
But perfection never lasts
When truth is underneath the mask

Your hands are cold
Your voice is still
But your silence
Betrays your will

You don't need me
To understand
You were already mine
Before you ran

You feel it closer
Every breath
Not love
Not regret
Something deeper
Something exact
You tried to erase it
But it stayed intact

You can run
You can hide
(Go ahead)
But you can't escape
What lives inside
(It owns you)

You lost control
The moment you left
(You created this)
Because this was never
Something you forget

You don't belong
Where you pretend
(No more mask)
You belong here
In the end
(Accept it)
You belong here
In the end
(Accept it)

I never chased you
I never called you
You walked here
On your own
Every step
Every choice
Was yours
(Accept it)

You can run
You can lie
But you can't escape
What you deny
(You know it's true)

You crossed the line
You felt it then
(You remember)
And now you're standing here
Again

You were never lost
(Never lost)
You were delayed
And now there's nothing
Left to save
(You become this)

Your actions were never mine to control
I was only the place
You found your stage to make your show
Where you stopped hiding from them
Showing your real face
