They Lose You

Verse 1
You showed up with your hands wide open
No mask, no game, no words unspoken
You gave your truth like a sacred flame
But they walked away just the same
Verse 2
You didn’t ask for more than grace
Just a heart that wouldn’t turn its face
But some folks fear what’s real and kind
They trade gold for what’s easier to find
Chorus
When your intentions are pure
You don’t lose people, they lose you
You stood in love, you stood in light
They chose the shade, they missed what’s right
It’s not your fault, it’s not your shame
You gave your soul, not just your name
When your intentions are pure
You don’t lose people, they lose you
Verse 3
You learned to walk with quiet pride
To bless the ones who couldn’t stay by your side
And though it hurts, you still believe
That truth returns to those who grieve
Bridge
Let them go, let them roam
You’re not the lesson they were shown
But you’re the light they’ll miss someday
When all their noise fades away
Final Chorus
When your intentions are pure
You don’t lose people, they lose you
You gave them love, you gave them peace
They couldn’t hold what doesn’t cease
It’s not your fault, it’s not your shame
You gave your soul, not just your name
When your intentions are pure
You don’t lose people, they lose you
