[Verse 1]
Shadows stretch, streetlights bleeding gold,
Words unsaid, our story feels so cold.
Lost my place, been walkin' on the edge,
Her silence sharper than a razor’s pledge.
[Chorus]
Altercation without me, love turned to debris,
Nothin’ left to cling, no hope left to see.
Fading in the echoes of what we used to be,
Altercation without me, drifting out to sea.
[Verse 2]
She threw a glance, cut me deeper than a knife,
Said I was poison, takin’ life from her life.
Egyptian cotton holds the ghost of her scent,
A battlefield where all my words are spent.
[Bridge]
Clock ticks slower when the fight ain't done,
Love's a loaded pistol, nowhere to run.
She holds the trigger, I hold regret,
Only scars, no peace—we ain’t there yet.
[Verse 3]
Rain on the window, tap-dancing my dread,
Every drip a memory, every drop she said.
Played our roles, yeah, we knew the script,
But the plot got twisted, the ending slipped.
[Chorus]
Altercation without me, love burned in the spree,
Screamed at the heavens, but God's on a leave.
No final words, just a curtain to decree,
Altercation without me, lost identity.
