Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Fourteen years, I wore your name

Like a crown made of glass

I held the whole world up

While you held me in the past

I learned your wounds by heart

I fed your ghosts by hand

You called it love, called it fate

I called it understand

I bent my spine for you

I swallowed every slight

Played the loyal one too long

Now I see it in the light

You were never up there

I put you where you stood

I built a throne from my own bones

You just took what you could

[Pre-Chorus]

Then the floor gave out

And you watched me fall

No warning

No shame at all

[Chorus]

Rude awakening

You threw me in the fire

Rude awakening

You fed that old liar

I was all in, all in

You left me black and blue

Rude awakening

Now I’m done with you

[Verse 2]

I remember every promise

Every “we,” every “always”

Now it hits like broken glass

On those long dead days

You smiled like a safe place

Talked soft, wore a mask

I was carrying both our weight

You were never built to last

And the worst part?

I still hear your voice

Saying “stay right here”

Like I had a choice

But love ain’t worship

And pain ain’t proof

I was praying for a home

You were making one from soot

[Pre-Chorus]

Then the floor gave out

And you watched me fall

No warning

No shame at all

[Chorus]

Rude awakening

You threw me in the fire

Rude awakening

You fed that old liar

I was all in, all in

You left me black and blue

Rude awakening

Now I’m done with you

[Bridge]

I don’t hate you

I hate what I became

Knee-deep in the ashes

Still calling your name

But I found my pulse

In the smoke you made

I’m clawing out alive

From the mess you laid

[Final Chorus]

Rude awakening

You threw me in the fire

Rude awakening

You fed that old liar

I was all in, all in

You left me black and blue

Rude awakening

Now I’m done with you

Rude awakening

I’m done with you
