Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You slammed the door
The frames all shook
My back to the wall
That empty look
Your breath in my face
Every bitter word
Cut through my name like I never was heard
[Verse 2]
You’d raise your voice
I’d shrink inside
Mascara streaks I could never quite hide
You called it love when I’d beg you to stop
But I learned my worth at the breaking point
[Chorus]
You broke me down
But you raised my expectations
Now I know what love is not
I feel the separation
I won’t beg for scraps
Won’t bleed for your attention
You were my last mistake
But you raised my expectations
[Bridge]
Pinned to the plaster
I saw it so clear
This is the last time I’ll stand in this fear
Next pair of hands on my body
They’ll be gentle
They’ll be kind
You taught me exactly what I’ll never let inside
[Chorus]

moody alt-pop ballad with female vocalssoft piano and distant pads in the versesthen heavy drums and bass swell in on the chorus. vocal starts fragile and close-mic’dgrowing grittier and more defiant. stacked harmonies hit on the title linewith a shortraw middle-eight that drops to almost a cappella before the last hook slams back in.
