Je T'ai CHeRCHé ! SuiS-Moi !

Half The Moon

[verse]
I memorized your playlist, learned your sleep routine
Sent good morning messages you never really read, it seems
Held the door, held my breath, held it down through every doubt
While you held back the pieces you were scared to live without

I thought I saw forever in the silence that you gave
Told myself love’s quieter when it’s something we both crave
But I was writing futures while you circled other names
Now I see the missing weight — and I won’t wear that blame

[chorus]
You gave me half the moon
But I brought the whole sky
I lit up every corner
Still couldn’t meet your eyes
You kissed me with caution
Like love was some old wound
And I stayed tryin’ to fill you
With only half the moon

[verse 2]
You’d change the subject gently when the talk got too real
Kept your truth behind a curtain I could never quite peel
I kept folding tiny moments into songs you’d never hear
And loving you felt holy — but you kept your altar clear

Told my friends you were just “busy” when you missed my highs and lows
But deep down, I was shrinking in the space where trust should grow
There’s a price to being patient when they don’t show up in kind
I was loyal to a maybe while you wandered through your mind

[chorus]
You gave me half the moon
But I brought the whole sky
I lit up every corner
Still couldn’t meet your eyes
You kissed me with caution
Like love was some old wound
And I stayed tryin’ to fill you
With only half the moon

[verse 3]
You might not have meant to hurt me, might’ve thought you gave enough
But love that pulls in pieces just ain’t the kind I want to trust
I don’t hate the way you held me, I just hate how much I bent
To be worthy of a whisper, when I needed your intent

Now I’m walking toward my sunrise, even if I go alone
Learned that giving isn’t grace if it just leaves your spirit thrown
If you ever look for me in songs, just know I left too soon
Not because I didn’t love you —
But ‘cause I needed more than half the moon

[chorus]
You gave me half the moon
But I brought the whole sky
I lit up every corner
Still couldn’t meet your eyes
You kissed me with caution
Like love was some old wound
And I stayed tryin’ to fill you
With only half the moon
