[Verse 1]
You loved the mirror
I loved the view
Thought we were twins
It was just you
Every secret I ever spilled
Became your story
Your highlight reel
You played the victim
I played along
Bent myself small so you felt strong
Called it “us
” but it was all “you”
Took my reflection
Cut it in two
[Chorus]
I’m burning every Polaroid memory
Let the faces curl
Let the colors bleed
You don’t get to live in my head for free
You were never my friend
Just a thief of me
I’m packing up the years that you rewrote
Dropping every lie like an old
Torn coat
You don’t get to live in my head for free
I’m leaving you behind
And I’m keeping me
[Verse 2]
You loved my softness
Hated my spine
Called it “crazy” when I drew lines
Turned my breakdowns into your stage
Clapped for yourself while I swallowed rage
You’d say “remember?” like it was sweet
I’d taste the ash under my teeth
Every “good time” came with a bruise
You got the praise
I paid the dues
[Chorus]
I’m burning every Polaroid memory
Let the faces curl
Let the colors bleed
You don’t get to live in my head for free
You were never my friend
Just a thief of me
I’m packing up the years that you rewrote
Dropping every lie like an old
Torn coat
You don’t get to live in my head for free
I’m leaving you behind
And I’m keeping me
[Bridge]
You’ll tell the story
Twist it tight (oh yeah)
How I “changed” and how you “tried”
But I’ve got truth
I’ve got the light
And you just fade when I decide
So take your dramas
Take your crown
I’m not your mirror
Not your clown
I choose silence over your noise
I choose my scars
I choose my voice
[Chorus]
I’m burning every Polaroid memory
Let the faces curl
Let the colors bleed
You don’t get to live in my head for free
You were never my friend
Just a thief of me
I’m packing up the years that you rewrote
Dropping every lie like an old
Torn coat
You don’t get to live in my head for free
I’m leaving you behind
Yeah I’m leaving you behind
I’m leaving you behind
And I’m keeping me
