Old Me Walked Away

[Verse 1]
Used to smile, now it cracks on my face,
Shadow of a man, heart misplaced.
He packed his bags, left me to decay,
The good guy in me? He walked away.
Tried to stitch it up, needle broke in my hand,
Thread of hope frayed, couldn’t make a stand.
A graveyard in my chest, flowers long gone,
The old me is dust, sung his last song.
[Chorus]
Old me walked away, didn’t leave a note,
Heart weighed down, couldn't keep it afloat.
Pieces of a mirror, shattered in my veins,
I’m just the ghost of a man, drowned in pain.
[Verse 2]
Staring at the ceiling, walls caving in,
Whispers of the past scratching my skin.
A good man burned out, ashes in the breeze,
Lost him somewhere, between heartbreak and pleas.
The footprints fade where the light used to stand,
He ain't coming back, no stretch of the hand.
Used to be gold in this rusted frame,
Now just a shell, lost my own name.
[Prechorus]
Heartbreak carved me, a sculpture of stone,
But stone don’t cry, just cracks when alone.
