Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] The sun is just a bruise against the gray I fought a war to see another day Counting every heartbeat, a steady, hollow drum Waiting for the morning that I thought would finally come. I carried all your shadows when the light began to fade I was the only soldier in the mess that you had made. [Pre-Chorus] They say that love’s a compass, a map within the dark But you were busy chasing down a different kind of spark. I held my breath for miles, thinking we were on a track But I was moving forward… and you were looking back. [Chorus] You had a thousand choices in the wreckage of the night You could have picked the daughter who was dying for your light. But you chose a different name, a different heart to hold And left me in the garden where the air is biting cold. Now the battle’s over, and the white flag’s in the stone I’m gone into the static, I’m forever on my own. [Verse 2] There’s a silence in the hallway where my laughter used to spill Now it’s just a mystery, a fever, and a chill. I see you in the doorway of the life you chose to live With the pieces of the mercy that you didn't want to give. I was looking at tomorrow, I was looking at the door But I’m not the little girl who’s waiting anymore. [Bridge] (Voice becomes distorted, more emotional) Is she everything you wanted? Is she worth the ghost you made? I am the price you paid for her— The debt that’s never stayed. I’m the ink that’s disappearing, I’m the record in the fire I’m the daughter of the ashes, and the girl you left behind. [Chorus] You had a thousand choices in the wreckage of the night You could have picked the daughter who was dying for your light. But you chose a different name, a different heart to hold And left me in the garden where the air is biting cold. Now the battle’s over, and the white flag’s in the stone I’m gone into the static, I’m forever on my own. [Outro] (Music fades to a single, lonely piano note) I’m gone… For every tomorrow you’ll never see me in. The battle is over. You chose her. And I’m gone. (Fades to silence)
