Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) You say it’s all accusations, That the walls just closed in on you, That the system painted you guilty Before they ever knew the truth. But every call feels colder lately, Like you’re slipping through my hands, Blaming me for all the chaos, Like I built these prison plans. You say my mind’s the reason, That my anxiety’s too loud, That my breakdowns in the courtroom Turn your pride into a cloud. They used my mental health against me, Stamped “unfit” on all my pain, While I’m fighting for our babies And you’re fighting just your name. (Pre-Chorus) I’m drowning in the silence When your distance cuts so deep, You’re locked behind that concrete But I’m the one who cannot sleep. (Chorus) Concrete between us, bars in my chest, You’re miles away but I feel the rest. You say it’s the lies, you say it’s the blame, But somehow I’m the one you shame. I’m scared I’m failing, scared I’m alone, Scared you’ll find comfort in someone unknown. While I’m loving you louder than I ever knew, You’re fading away like I never loved you. (Verse 2) Court dates stacked like nightmares, Judge said my mind’s not right, Said the evidence was “verbal,” Wouldn’t hold up in the fight. I walked out shaking, empty, Like a mother torn in two, Without my kids there’s no more reason, But I still held on to you. Hospice halls and whispered prayers, Machines that hum at night, I’m scared of losing everything And you’re not here to hold me tight. Anxiety like broken glass That I swallow just to cope, Smiling for the kids at home While I’m barely holding hope. (Pre-Chorus) You say you’re pulling back for peace, Say it’s better if you’re numb, But every time you drift away It feels like I’ve come undone. (Chorus) Concrete between us, steel in my veins, You say it’s the rumors, you say it’s the pain. You say if I’d been stronger, You wouldn’t be alone, But I’m fighting every demon In a house that’s not a home. I’m scared I’m not enough, Scared you’ll need someone new, Scared the thought of her touch Won’t feel wrong to you. (Bridge) Do you remember Mesa nights? The way you called me your queen? “Special kisses, baby,” Like forever was a guarantee. Your tattoos with our children’s names, My lips inked in your skin, You swore there’d never be another, That I was your everything. I replay our anniversaries, The poems, the vows I wrote, Counting days like lifelines Just to keep us afloat. I loved you through the distance, Through the static on the line, Through every missed collect call And every Valentine. But now I feel the shift in you, Like I’m not the only one, Like somewhere in that silence You’ve already begun To picture life without me, To picture someone new— And the thought of that alone Is slowly breaking through. (Breakdown) Maybe I’m too broken, Maybe I’m too scared, Maybe all my overthinking Made you feel unprepared. But I never stopped loving you, Not once, not for a day, Even when the judge said My babies couldn’t stay.
