[Verse 1]
Burned out bridge
Ash in my mouth
You walked away
I crawled out
Cut your name
From my skin
Stared that silence down
And I won’t step back in
[Chorus]
Left in the dark
Now I’m lighting my own hell
Carving my path
I’m focusing on myself
You were the cage
I was begging you for air
Now I’m the storm
And you’re just
You’re just not there
[Verse 2]
All those nights
Biting my tongue
Held my breath
Till my chest came undone
I fed your pride
Starved my own
Now every scar
Is a stepping stone
[Chorus]
Left in the dark
Now I’m lighting my own hell
Carving my path
I’m focusing on myself
You were the cage
I was begging you for air
Now I’m the storm
And you’re just
You’re just not there
[Bridge]
You don’t get to say you knew me (you never did)
You don’t get to claim my ruins (I’ll build from this)
If I’m alone in the black
I’m still alive
I’m still alive
[Chorus]
Left in the dark
But I clawed my way out clean
Grinding my teeth
Turning grief into gasoline
You were the cage
I was begging you for air
Now I’m the fire
And you’re just
You’re just not there (not there)
