Open wounds

[Intro]  
I’m just a whisper in this crowded room,  
A phantom echo with a heart all strewn,  
Slice me open, let my secrets bleed,  
Exposing shadows, revealing my need.  
[Verse 1]  
In this metal shell, I wear my scars,  
A yearning heart with broken parts,  
You said you wanted all the real in me,  
But held me close, never let me see.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
Eyes that shimmer, intentions unclear,  
You wrapped me in sweetness, cloaked in fear,  
Wanted me on your terms, your twisted design,  
But I’m fragile glass beneath your sunshine.  
[Chorus]  
Slice me open, show the world my ache,  
But it’s the emptiness you choose to stake,  
You say you want me, but can’t you see?  
Your love is just a ghost, haunting me.  
[Bridge]  
Every smile that drips with doubt,  
Every promise you never shout,  
I’m alive yet barely breathing,  
Caught in the web of all your deceiving.  
[Verse 2]  
Wrap me in silence, wrapped in your shame,  
You held my heart then let it wane,  
Wanted the image, not the real thing,  
What’s left of me is just a puppet’s string.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
Look in my eyes, see the cracks inside,  
Pretending I’m whole, hoping to hide,  
Pass me around like a moth to a flame,  
You crave the beauty, but call it a game.  
[Chorus]  
Slice me open, show the world my ache,  
But it’s the emptiness you choose to stake,  
You say you want me, but can’t you see?  
Your love is just a ghost, haunting me.  
[Outro]  
So here I stand, an open wound,  
Desire lingering, silently marooned,  
Every moment spent in your embrace,  
A testament to this hollow chase.
