I GAVE YOU TEETH

**Verse I**
I carved your name into my lungs
Just to learn how it tasted
Every promise you ever made
Was a weapon I handed you loaded

I kept you holy with shaking hands
While you sharpened your indifference
I should’ve known from the way you watched
You loved the power, not the consequence

**Pre-Chorus**
I begged you to mean it
You begged me to wait
You fed me hope
Then enjoyed the decay

**Chorus**
I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING
YOU LEFT ME IN PIECES
I BUILT YOU A THRONE
OUT OF MY WEAKNESS

I CHOKED ON MY FAITH
JUST TO KEEP YOU CLEAN
I DIDN’T WORSHIP A GOD
I WORSHIPPED A THING

**Verse II**
You called me dramatic
When I started to crack
Like pain only matters
If it’s hurting you back

I bled out politely
So you wouldn’t feel bad
I learned how to suffer
And thank you for that

You watched me unravel
And called it control
If love is surrender
You wanted me soulless

**Pre-Chorus**
Say you didn’t know
Say you were blind
You knew exactly
What you were doing with my life

**Chorus**
I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING
YOU LEFT ME IN PIECES
I BUILT YOU A THRONE
OUT OF MY WEAKNESS

I CHOKED ON MY FAITH
JUST TO KEEP YOU CLEAN
I DIDN’T WORSHIP A GOD
I WORSHIPPED A THING

**Bridge (low, venom, almost spoken)**
Don’t look at me
Like I survived
You didn’t save me
You just let me die slower

If you feel nothing
Good
That’s what you taught me

**Breakdown (pure rage)**
I GAVE
YOU TOOK
I STAYED
YOU LEFT

I PRAYED
YOU SMILED
AND WATCHED
ME BLEED

I GAVE YOU TEETH
AND YOU BIT DOWN
I MADE YOU REAL
YOU BURNED ME OUT

**Final Chorus (screamed / desperate)**
I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING
YOU LEFT ME IN PIECES
YOU FED ON MY LOVE
AND CALLED IT HEALING

I BROKE MYSELF
JUST TO BE SEEN
I DIDN’T LOSE YOU
YOU LOST ME

**Outro (quiet, shaking)**
I hope it was worth it
I hope you feel full

Because I’m empty
And it’s your fault.
