(Verse 1)
I loved you like a loaded gun
Safety off, finger numb
I gave you peace, I gave you sleep
You learned my body like a drug
I held your head when you fell apart
Made a throne out of your scars
You got used to being saved
Now you’re nothing without my heart
(Pre-Chorus)
I was gentle, I was true
I was everything to you
Now you beg like I’m a habit
But I broke myself of you
⸻
(Chorus Whisper-Drop)
I taught you how to need me
Now you choke on every breath
I was mercy, I was lethal
Now I’m silence in your head
Say you’re fine, but you’re shaking
You can’t love without the pain
You don’t want me—you want control
And I don’t play that game
(beat breath)
No… I don’t play that game.
⸻
(Verse 2)
You still reach for my name at night
Like I owe you one last lie
You don’t miss my mouth on yours
You miss the way I made you feel alive
I fed your ego from my veins
Let you think you were the flame
But you were just standing close
While I burned myself in place
(Pre-Chorus)
You don’t love me, you love the power
Of knowing I would stay
Now I’m gone and you’re spiraling
Funny how that shit works out that way
⸻
(Chorus Full Drop)
I taught you how to need me
Now you choke on every breath
I was mercy, I was lethal
Now I’m silence in your head
Say you’re fine, but you’re shaking
You can’t love without the pain
You don’t want me—you want control
And I don’t play that game
⸻
(Bridge Low, Dangerous)
I was soft until I snapped
Now you’re haunted by the lack
You don’t want my love back
You want the version of you I built from scratch
I was heaven, I was hell
Now you feel me when you fail
Every time you say you’re over it
I know you’re fucking lying to yourself
⸻
(Final Chorus Strip it, Cold)
I taught you how to need me
That was my sin
I made you feel untouchable
Then I took it all back again
You say my name like it’s a weapon
Like it still has some effect
But I don’t bleed for boys like you
I just disappear and let you wreck
⸻
(Outro Spoken / Whisper)
You call it love.
I call it leverage.
And I’m done letting you use me like a weapon.
