🩸 LYRICS
Intro (low, distant):
I never stopped loving you
I just stopped asking you to stay
⸻
Verse 1:
I learned your absence by heart
Every room still breathes your name
I carry the shape of your smile
Like a fracture I can’t escape
I watched you grow beyond me
Into something I couldn’t be
And I stayed quiet through the damage
Because silence was mercy
⸻
Pre-Chorus (pull back → tension):
If I hold on
You break
So I let go
And I bleed
⸻
🔥 CHORUS (TWO PARTS)
Chorus – Part I (emotional weight):
I hope you wake up without the pain
I helped you carry for so long
If your future needs my absence
Then I’ll become what’s gone
Chorus – Part II (heavier, darker):
I’ll carve my loss into the ground
And call it love, not defeat
If your happiness kills me slowly
Then I’ll die on my feet
⸻
Verse 2 (faster, heavier):
I bit my tongue through every goodbye
So you’d never see me fall
I let you walk into forever
While I burned behind these walls
You don’t owe me a memory
You don’t owe me your regret
If letting you live means losing you
Then this is the debt
⸻
Chorus (repeat — layered, heavier):
Part I:
I hope you wake up without the pain
I helped you carry for so long
Part II:
If your happiness kills me slowly
Then I’ll die on my feet
⸻
🔥 BUILD → BREAKDOWN (MID-SONG)
Build-Up (last vocals):
Go
Don’t turn back
Take the life
I couldn’t give
I’ll stay here
And break—
⸻
Breakdown (INSTRUMENTAL ONLY):
(No vocals)
(Heavy chugging
Controlled rage
Pain without hatred)
⸻
🔥 FINAL CHORUS (LAST — EXTENDED, MOST POWERFUL)
Final Chorus – Part I (drawn out):
I hope you find the peace I couldn’t be
Even if it erases me
I’ll carry this alone forever
So you don’t have to bleed
Final Chorus – Part II (MAX INTENSITY):
If loving you means losing you
Then carve it into my chest
I won’t chain you to my suffering
I’ll survive this emptiness
⸻
[⚠️ FINAL BUILD → BREAKDOWN (CLOSER)]
Final Build-Up (last vocals ever):
Live
Be free
Forget my name
If you need to
I’ll still love you—
⸻
FINAL BREAKDOWN (INSTRUMENTAL ONLY — ENDING):
(Slower crushing hits
Then fast, relentless chugs
Wide, emotional tone
Let the riff repeat
Let it linger
End hard or fade into distortion)
