[Verse 1]
I bought you ink 'cause you said you liked it
Brought you sweets, thought you'd feel that effort
Never said it loud, but it was love in silence
Kept it soft so I won’t get hurt
[Pre-Chorus]
You called when you were bored, I picked up fast
Acted like a friend, but hoping it would last
I never told you all of what I felt
But every word from me was real
[Chorus]
I let you go, at least I tried
But truth is, you still cross my mind
You never asked, but I gave my time
My quiet love, you left behind
Maybe you’ll never know
But I was the one who loved you slow
[Verse 2]
You said “don’t push, just wait till May”
I said “okay,” though I hurt each day
Saw you chatting while I stayed unseen
I was just your pause, never the in-between
[Pre-Chorus]
I walked away, no goodbye kiss
You texted “sorry,” but didn’t know this—
It wasn’t you who should’ve said that word
It was me who stayed, unheard
[Chorus]
I let you go, at least I tried
But truth is, you still cross my mind
You never asked, but I gave my time
My quiet love, you left behind
Maybe you’ll never know
But I was the one who loved you slow
[Bridge]
You never knew the nights I cried
When you stopped calling, no reason why
Still I smiled, still I stayed
Hoping love would find its way
[Final Chorus]
I let you go, at least I tried
But some goodbyes still make you cry
You never saw it, but I was there
Giving more than I could bear
Maybe it’s best you’ll never know
That I was the one who loved you slowpop,slo,
