Curse of You

(Verse 1)

I found you in a thousand lives

Different faces, same blue eyes

Every time you slipped away

Like fate was written in decay

I swore this time I’d change the end

Be your shadow, not your sin

But every step I took too close

Turned your heartbeat into ghost

(Pre-Chorus)

I don’t need gods to damn my soul

I did it all on my own

(Chorus)

I’m the curse of you

Every breath you lose

Every scar, every broken truth

Leads back to me and what I do

I’m the fall, the flame, the knife

Running through your every life

If I love you, you don’t survive

I’m the curse… I’m the curse of you

(Verse 2)

I caged you once, I called it love

Built you a world you couldn’t touch

You looked at me like I was war

Not the man you saw before

I gave you freedom wrapped in lies

Watched you fade before my eyes

Every version, every end

I lose you just the same again

(Pre-Chorus)

I tried to save what I destroy

But I’m the dark behind your joy

(Chorus)

I’m the curse of you

Every breath you lose

Every scar, every broken truth

Leads back to me and what I do

I’m the fall, the flame, the knife

Running through your every life

If I love you, you don’t survive

I’m the curse… I’m the curse of you

(Bridge – softer, broken)

So I disappear into the night

No more hands, no more right

If I vanish, you might live

If I love you… I must give

You your life… without me near

Even if that’s what I fear

(Final Chorus – rising, emotional)

Was I the curse of you

Or just too scared to lose?

If I step back, if I break through

Maybe I don’t destroy you

Maybe love is letting go

Even when it kills me slow

If I leave… you might survive

And for once… you stay alive

(Outro)

I’m still the shadow in your light

But I won’t reach you this time
