You sound real when the night gets quiet But morning comes and

you move in silence I don’t need a speech with a pretty

shine I need the truth that survives daylight I been learning how

patterns speak How loud it gets when actions leave

You can paint the sky with a perfect line

But I watch what you do with time I don’t want flowers

after the damage I don’t want sorry wrapped up in panic I

don’t want love that needs a stage Then disappears when I need

safe

I’m not hard to reach I’m hard to fool I been burned

by beautiful If you mean it Make it clear Don’t make me

beg For what should be here

I need proof over promises

Truth over compliments Don’t say you got me Then move like you

don’t

I need proof over promises Real over confident

Don’t say forever If your follow-through won’t

I don’t need perfect

I need honest No more gold words With a hollow kiss I

need proof over promises Proof over promises

I can feel when the warmth turns staged When “I care” starts

sounding rehearsed

You can’t build trust with a borrowed flame Then act surprised when

the bridge gets burned

I been the one who made space for storms The one who

stayed when the room got worn But I’m done translating almost-love Into

something I can call enough I don’t need you loud,

I need you steady Don’t come close if your hands ain’t ready

I don’t want charm with a hidden cost I want care that

doesn’t get lost I’m not hard to reach I’m hard to fool

I been burned by beautiful If you mean it Make it clear

Don’t make me beg For what should be here I need proof

over promises Truth over compliments Don’t say you got me Then move

like

you don’t I need proof over promises Real over confident Don’t say

forever If your follow-through won’t I don’t need perfect I need honest

No more gold words With a hollow kiss I need proof over

promises Proof over promises Show me in the small things

Show me when it’s late Show me when I’m quiet Show me

when I shake Show me when it’s boring

Show me when it’s real Show me without asking How much I

can feel I don’t need a rescue I don’t need a crown

I just need the same hands When the high comes down

I need proof over promises

Truth over compliments Don’t say you got me Then move like you

don’t I need proof over promises Real over confident Don’t say forever

If your follow-through won’t I don’t need perfect I need honest No

more gold words With a hollow kiss I need proof over promises
