While i was saving you

I gave 'til I was hollow,

hoping you'd see me whole.

Carried your weight in silence,

while mine turned into stone.

I waited by your doorway,

you walked right through the night—

And still I found excuses

to say you were just not alright.

But when I fell,

you didn’t reach.

When I spoke,

you stayed out of reach.

While I was saving you,

I was drowning—

pulling us both through the flame.

You never looked back,

never noticed

how I shattered in your name.

Now I’m cutting loose the chains,

I’m walking through the rain—

‘Cause I’m done,

I’m done being blamed

for the pain

you never even tried to name.

You said I didn't know you,

that I should understand.

But you only ever showed me

the back of your hand.

You wanted every favor,

but gave nothing in return—

And when I paused for breath,

you let the silence burn.

I tried to hold

what wasn't mine.

You took and took

and crossed the line.

While I was saving you,

I was drowning—

dragging love through broken glass.

You never looked down,

never noticed

how much longer I could last.

Now I’m tearing down your throne,

reclaiming what I own—

‘Cause I’m done,

I’m done being known

as someone

who’d die to stand alone.

Bridge

I begged for crumbs,

you took the feast.

I asked for truth,

you gave me least.

But I’m not bitter—

I’m just free.

You never saw me.

Now I do.

While I was saving you,

I was drowning—

but I learned how to breathe again.

You never turned back,

but I’ve risen

from the lies I let you spin.

Now I’m walking through the fire,

with no guilt, no more desire—

‘Cause I’m done,

I’m done being tired

of loving

what only left me wired.
