lirik lagu ibuddy & ian scheil - you never let me in
[verse 1]
how can someone who claims to love
hate so deeply, anointed from above?
you taught me “respect” like a holy command
but never once tried to understand
you sat in church with folded hands
while your heart wrote hate in shifting sands
with every cold, bigoted reprimand
you said you were doing what’s “right”
but what you did was dim my light
[pre~chorus]
i hoped one day you’d see the light
and maybe, finally, do what’s right
to love me whole, without a plan
to just accept the man i am
but you never did
no, no, no
you never did
[chorus]
you never saw me for who i am
you only saw what brokе your plan
called me damaged, callеd me lost
said you loved me but at what cost?
you lashed out and kicked me down
when all i needed was your love unbound
you never saw me
no, you never saw me
not because you couldn’t
but because you wouldn’t
you never let me in
yeah, you never let me in
oh, you never let me in
after i came out
[verse 2]
the memories now feel like lies
you hid your hate behind sunday’s disguises
racist jokes those sideways stares
said you “don’t judge,” then judged in pairs
too soft, too gay, too loud, too much
too broken, too wild, too out of touch
no matter how i tried to rise
you kept me small in your disguise
your charity case, the one who strayed
the grandchild you left long before the grave
[pre~chorus]
it took me years to break the chain
to ditch the guilt, unlearn the shame
if love was really what you knew
you’d never sit in that same d~mn pew
year by year, through and through
[chorus]
you never saw me for who i am
you only saw what broke your plan
called me damaged, called me lost
said you loved me but at what cost
you lashed out and kicked me down
when all i needed was your love, unbound
you never saw me
no, you never saw me
not because you couldn’t
but because you wouldn’t
you never let me in
yeah, you never let me in
oh, you never let me in
after i came out
[bridge]
when i told you i’d found the one i adore
you said, “that’s too bad,” and slammed the door
what kind of man says that to his own
then leaves their joy to grieve alone?
it brought me back to younger days
walking home in silent haze
bridges whispering my name
wondering if i deserved the shame
all because your preacher said
people like me were better off dead
[breakdown]
still i reached out and you stayed silent
i offered peace but you stayed defiant
lunch, forgiveness, one last chance
but you vanished in your hateful stance
you died the way you chose to live
closed off, cruel, unwilling to give
[build]
but i still loved you, through the pain
even when all you gave was shame
i broke the chains
i found the flame
you never saw me
but i still know my name
[bridge extension]
i’m not broken
not some lost soul
i’m beautiful, vibrant, perfectly whole
true to myself, fierce and real
more than your dogma could ever feel
it’s tragic, but that’s the path you chose
and now you’re part of what i had to let go
[chorus]
you never saw me for who i am
you only saw what broke your plan
called me damaged, called me lost
said you loved me but love had a cost
you lashed out and kicked me down
when all i needed was love, not to drown
you never saw me
no, you never saw me
not because you couldn’t
but because you just wouldn’t
you never let me in
yeah you never let me in
oh you never let me in
after i came out
[outro]
yeah i still see me
and that’s enough
even if you never did or never would
you chose blindness while others understood
and though you don’t deserve the peace i give
i must let go so i can live
you missed the love that could’ve been
but i will always let myself in
because in my life
authentic love will always win
