[Intro]
Eleven months of quiet fire
Now the screen glows cold and blue…
[Verse 1]
We said “I love you” like breathing air
Lost ourselves in passion no one knew
You called me home in the midnight glare
Then told me freedom was calling you
So I buried the ache and played the friend
Held your pieces while mine fell apart
Gave you my light till there was nothing to lend
Loved you hardest with a breaking heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Two months of “sorry” and “I’m so fucked up”
While my world went dark and my grades hit the floor
I stayed through the silence, I drank every cup
Still believed there was hope for us
[Chorus]
Now your bio screams “Taken”
Cuddling him with hearts in your name
While I’m staring at red with fists clenched tight
No tears will fall, they forgot how to rain
There’s a deep subtle pain sitting under my skin
I can feel it breathing but it won’t break through
I’m stiff and exhausted, so goddamn tired within
Behind the barrier… what’s left of me and you?
[Verse 2]
Every “I apologize” tasted like rust
While you built something new on the side
Told me relationships weren’t what you want
But look at you glowing — you lied, you lied
I sacrificed pieces no one else saw
For a boy who was already walking away
Now the truth hits different than I ever thought
You were never lost — you just needed space… from me
[Bridge]
I wanted to scream till the sky came apart
Wanted to burn every memory we made
But my body just froze and protected my heart
Turned the wildfire into quiet shade
No explosion came, no beautiful flood
Just this heavy stillness weighing on my chest
The rage is still here but it’s locked in my blood
The barrier saved me… now I’m the one who’s left
[guitar solo]
[Final Chorus]
Your bio still screams “Taken”
Public love while I break here alone
I loved you so deep that it swallowed me whole
Now the feeling won’t surface, it’s turned into stone
This core ache is moving but it can’t get free
I’m numb in the middle of all this despair
I’m so fucking tired of not feeling me
Behind the barrier… I’m barely even there
[Outro]
No tears came tonight…
No tears came tonight…
Just nylon strings playing into the quiet
Behind the barrier…
I loved you… I loved you…
