Resolve In The Ruins

[Verse 1]
You left your hoodie on my chair
Still smells like cheap wine and late nights
Scrolling through our photos, I just stare
Freeze-frame fights in the brake lights
You said “we’re better if we break”
Guess you meant I’d break alone then
I kept your texts like a keepsake
Reading every line till it burns again
I was begging you to stay soft
You were already halfway gone
I kept trying to turn the pain off
But it played on and on and on
[Chorus]
Heartbreak hurt me, yeah it cut me clean
Pulled the floor from underneath my feet
But I’m still here, breathing through the ache
Picking up the pieces that you couldn’t take
You can keep the lies, I’ll keep the truth
You can keep the past, I’ll keep my youth
You can hear my name and feel that pull
I’ll remember you and still feel full (oh-oh)
Heartbreak broke me just to make me whole
[Verse 2]
Friends said “you dodged a bullet”
I still checked my phone at 2
Typed a hundred little messages
Deleted every one I wrote to you
I stopped driving past your exit
Took the long way just to heal
Talked to God inside the traffic
Asked for something I can feel
Now the mirror’s looking kinder
Eyes still red but there’s a shine
I ain’t waiting for a reminder
To treat this lonely heart like it is mine (yeah)
[Chorus]
Heartbreak hurt me, yeah it cut me clean
Pulled the floor from underneath my feet
But I’m still here, breathing through the ache
Picking up the pieces that you couldn’t take
You can keep the lies, I’ll keep the truth
You can keep the past, I’ll keep my youth
You can hear my name and feel that pull
I’ll remember you and still feel full (hey)
Heartbreak broke me just to make me whole
[Bridge]
I lost you
But I found my voice
Lost that future
Gained a choice
If you see me
Looking new, standing tall
Know your leaving
Didn’t mean my fall (nah)
[Chorus]
Heartbreak hurt me, yeah it cut me clean
Pulled the floor from underneath my feet
But I’m still here, breathing through the ache
Picking up the pieces that you couldn’t take
You can keep the lies, I’ll keep the truth
You can keep the past, I’ll keep my youth
You can hear my name and feel that pull
I’ll remember you and still feel full (oh-oh)
Heartbreak broke me just to make me whole

rap, Melodic trap-leaning rap ballad, midtempo. Auto-tuned male vocals glide on a mournful piano riff and distant guitar plucks over deep, warm sub-bass and crisp hats. Verses stay conversational and close-mic’d; choruses bloom with stacked harmonies and a lifted top line. Subtle vocal chops and reverb swells in the hook to make it feel anthemic but intimate.
