[Verse 1 – Your Lyrics]
(Melancholic piano with slow, heavy drums)
They say, “Be a man,” but don’t show me how,
Carry the weight, can’t ever break down.
I built these walls to guard my pride,
But love was a war where I fought and died.
Gave my all, still called me cold,
I’m just a story they left untold.
Every fight, I’m the one to blame —
Silent wounds, but I feel the flame.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – (Soft, Haunting Harmony)]
(A low bass hums as the tension builds.)
They say men don’t break, but we still bleed,
Drown in silence, but no one sees.
How can I heal when the scars stay fresh?
Trapped in a battle with nothing left.
⸻
[Chorus – (Emotional & Powerful)]
(Guitars swell, the beat hits like a heartbeat slowing down.)
I gave you my heart, you tore it apart,
Left me in shadows, alone in the dark.
No one believes when a man feels pain,
We suffer in silence, drowning in shame.
Why do you love me just to watch me fall?
Am I nothing but a ghost against your wall?
⸻
[Verse 2 – Your Lyrics]
(Heavy drums kick in, giving it a slow but intense rhythm.)
You said I was strong, but used it against me,
Turned my kindness into a weapon to bend me.
I was a king, you made me crawl,
Now I’m a ghost that haunts these halls.
Bled for the dreams that you threw away,
Still wear the scars like a badge today.
They preach “Protect,” but who shields the knight
When the queen holds the blade in the dead of night?
⸻
[Bridge – (Low, Introspective, Then Builds Up)]
(Beat slows, almost like a whisper before the storm.)
They only see what we’re forced to show,
A quiet scream they’ll never know.
Told to be strong, but strength is a curse
When love becomes a lesson that only makes it worse.
(A soft electric guitar rings out, then explodes into the final chorus.)
⸻
[Final Chorus – (More Raw, More Desperate)]
(Drums get louder, emotion peaks, voice cracks with feeling.)
I gave you my heart, you tore it apart,
Left me in shadows, alone in the dark.
No one believes when a man feels pain,
We suffer in silence, drowning in shame.
Why do you love me just to watch me fall?
Am I nothing but a ghost against your wall?
⸻
[Outro – (Fading, Almost Spoken)]
(Music dies down, just the sound of a single heartbeat slowing.)
A warrior’s heart in a world so cold,
Carrying stories that stay untold.
Maybe one day, they’ll understand —
Even the strongest need a hand.
(A final echoing note lingers, then silence.)
