Scarlet Letter L

[ Lyrics ]

They called me crazy — I called it love.

Saw us through rose glass, swore it was real,
you held my hand like a wound you could heal.
But the world just stared like I lost my mind,
said, ‘He don’t deserve that kind of love line.’
I wore your name like a vow on my skin,
now they point and laugh like I let myself in.
Sister sighed, ‘Girl, you’re too soft, too loud,’
as if love’s a crime when it stands in the cloud.

I didn’t scream, didn’t beg, didn’t lie—
just loved you true while they counted the why.
Now I stand in the silence they built with their shade,
wearing my heart like a price that was paid.

They called me crazy — I called it love,
wrapped in red ink like I fell from above.
They wrote my name in a blame they designed,
but I wore that 'L' like a crown out of line.

They called me crazy — I called it love. 

Saw you at brunch with that new silver tongue,
she laughed at your jokes like the song I once sung.
Didn’t flinch, didn’t blink, didn’t break—
just sipped my truth like a vintage of ache.
They said, ‘Why you quiet? Why not defend?’
‘Cause love don’t need courtroom wins to be real.
I gave you grace while they drafted the blame,
signed my own name to a different kind of fame.

You left without reason, no note, no fight,
but I kept the ghost of you burning all night.
Now they want tears, want me raging, undone—
but I carry my peace like a loaded gun.

Let the jury talk, let the verdict spin,
I loved you deep while the world caved in.
No apologies, no defense to plead—
my love was real, not some broken creed.

They called me crazy — I called it love,
shined through the shade like a gift from above.
They wrote my name in a lie they repeat,
but I wear that 'L' with fire in my feet.

They called me crazy — I called it love.
