Verse 1
You wore your halo like a warning sign,
White lies dripping from your teeth at night.
I called it love while the mortar cracked,
Held my breath trying to stop the collapse.
Burying pieces of myself in the floorboards,
Missing my son’s calls, just to fight through the storms.
You said forever with your fingers crossed,
While I kept paying every emotional cost.
Now, the mirrors in this house,
Still know my name in your mouth.
I guess that I never learned,
How to leave when it's burning down.
Pre-Chorus
I was bleeding out slowly,
Smiling while you pulled the stitches free.
You moved on before the wreckage cooled,
I hate myself for loving you.
Chorus
Then she came in like a midnight code blue,
Steady hands in the wreckage I was crawling through.
No sirens, no screaming, no war to survive,
Kept my heartbeating, yeah, she kept me alive.
She touched every bruise like she understood,
Wrapped my shattered bones in something good.
After all the damage you put me through,
I found healing in the trauma room.
Verse 2
I remember bathroom floors and shaking hands,
Trying to rebuild a broken man.
Therapy notes, another sleepless night,
Learning to survive the flight or fight.
I started running from the person I became,
A hollow body carrying your name.
But, every mile brought me back to me,
Yeah, every scar was proof I had to leave.
Pre-Chorus
Now your memory feels distant,
Like smoke escaping through my ribs.
You taught me what destruction is,
She taught me I can live again.
Chorus
Then she came in like a midnight code blue,
Steady hands in the wreckage I was crawling through.
No sirens, no screaming, no war to survive,
Kept my heartbeating, yeah, she kept me alive.
She touched every bruise like she understood,
Wrapped my shattered bones in something good.
After all the damage you put me through,
I found healing in the trauma room.
Breakdown
You called it love,
WATCHING ME SLOWLY SUFFOCATE.
Made me feel weak,
WHILE I WAS DIGGING MY OWN GRAVE.
Bleeding out,
WATCHING ME FADE, YOU DID NOT HESITATE.
Every wound,
A CONSTANT REMINDER OF WHAT I GAVE.
And Now I know, I know how bad it hurts
And now I know, I know how bad it hurts
And now I know, I know how bad it hurts
But, not as bad as staying when it's time to go
Final Chorus
She came in like a light through the trauma room,
Yeah, pulled me from the shadows I was dying in.
No more walking on glass just to feel enough,
No more confusing pain for love.
A fatal wound that I survived,
Yeah, she brought me back to life!
Outro
Girl, you triaged me,
Medicated life-long neuropathy.
Yeah, you stopped a tragedy,
A fatal wound, stitched by your empathy.
