Phone on the nightstand, screen glowing red
Counting the threats and the words that you said
"If you don't answer, I’m gone by the night"
Holding my breath till the morning light
I was a hostage to every "goodbye"
While you were building a mountain of lies
Checking your pulse from a hundred miles away
While you were in his bed, finding games to play.
[Pre-Chorus]
You wanted the proof, you wanted the skin
Told me that love was a price I paid in
"Send me a picture or we’re at an end"
While you had three others around every bend.
[Chorus]
You were the victim, I was the blade
That was the role in the movie you made
Threatened to leave this world just to stay in my head
While you were filling up folders in someone else's bed
Older and faster, three at a time
But I was the one committing the crime?
Yeah, you’d blow up my phone while I sat with my kin
Then ghost me for weeks just to watch my head spin.
[Verse 2]
One day of silence, a Sunday with family
You’re screaming "You hate me!" and "How could you abandon me?"
Sending me photos of scars and the ink
Pushing my sanity over the brink
Then you’d go silent, the dial tone was cold
I spent seven days thinking your story was told
Grieving a ghost who was still very much alive
Just busy with strangers, helping your ego survive.
[Chorus]
You were the victim, I was the blade
That was the role in the movie you made
Threatened to leave this world just to stay in my head
While you were filling up folders in someone else's bed
Older and faster, three at a time
But I was the one committing the crime?
Yeah, you’d blow up my phone while I sat with my kin
Then ghost me for weeks just to watch my head spin.
[Bridge]
Pressure for the camera, pressure for the call
I was giving everything, you were taking it all
The guilt was a heavy chain, the fear was a cage
But I finally turned to the very last page
You weren't dying, you were just playing a part
Using your blood just to paint on my heart.
[Outro]
I’m putting the phone down
I’m breathing the air
You’re someone else's problem
And I don’t even care
No more "goodbyes"
No more "I'm gone"
The ghost is finally leaving...
And I’m moving on.
