Broken First

[Verse]
You cracked the vase, left the shards on the floor
Told me it’s fine, like the hurt don’t mean more
Memory’s heavy, like a chain on my chest
Tried to breathe, but you stole all the rest
Ghost in the mirror, that’s the me you erased
Now you knocking, asking for a second embrace
Heart’s boarded up, got no key for your plea
You broke me first, now you think you’re free
[Prechorus]
Tides don’t rewind, rivers don’t reverse
Say you’re sorry, but you broke me first
[Chorus]
You broke me first, shattered my pride
Now you back, but my old self died
Begging for a chance, tryna make it right
But forgiveness ain’t a switch, not tonight
[Verse 2]
You the flame that burned the bridge to ash
Now you digging through the rubble for a past
Think you slick, with that crocodile grin
But I see the lies dripping off your skin
Said I’d be nothing without your name
Now I’m something, and you’re drowning in shame
Apologies cheap, words thin as mist
But I’m done, girl, you don’t exist
