[Verse]
I pretended it was mutual
But the mirror doesn't bargain
And my skin remembers all
I tried to dress it up in lies
Wrapped that razor in a bow
Called a nightmare a love story
And hoped no one would ever know
[Pre-chorus]
I mistook the weight of wanting
to be seen, for falling in love
So when he twisted the truth in flowers
The thorns didn't look so sharp
[Chorus]
Help...!
I wear the wound like I have made it
Self-inflicted, how I've hated
Every part of me that escaped
My own fault, my own shame
He took my life, I took the blame
A lifelong sentence. Never the same.
It's a losing game
[Verse]
I built a room from silence
Called it safety in my head
Lit candles made of memories
So the shadows wouldn’t spread
But no warmth came from a flicker
No peace came with the flame
Just echoes of a promise
That I never really made
[Pre-chorus]
He was his own judge and jury
He left no room for me to hate
He put his hook through me
but I was the one who took the bait
[Chorus]
Help...!
I wear the wound like I have made it
Self-inflicted, how I've hated
Every part of me that escaped
My own fault, my own shame
He took my life, I took the blame
A lifelong sentence. Never the same.
It's a losing game
[Bridge]
Do you know the feeling
Of wanting to crawl out of your skin?
Losing your voice when no doesn't mean a thing
And everything I wish that I could say
Gets swept away
By hands pushing me down
[Chorus]
Help...!
I wear the wound like I have made it
Self-inflicted, how I've hated
Every part of me that escaped
My own fault, my own shame
He took my life, I took the blame
A lifelong sentence. Never the same.
It's a losing game
[Outro]
A body marked in shades of shame
An untouched canvas
Now a portrait stained
Left to dry
Beneath the weight of every lie
