Hollows of the Room

Intro
You burned my name into your grin.
Charming illusion, baptized in sin.
I kept a promise no one sane would keep.

You watched me unravel,
slow,
beautiful,
unforgivable.

Pre-Chorus
You touch, you twist, you tether.
You want, you take, you wither.
I stay—half ghost, half vow, half ache.

Chorus
I’m doing fine with you, but at the cost of me.
Losing sleep to keep the peace, calling that harmony.
If breaking down is loving right,
then maybe I’m the casualty.
I’m doing fine with you, but at the cost of me.

Bridge
You drain me quiet.
You praise me hollow.
You need me ruined.

I let you.
I call it love.
I call it survival.

Outro
You built your calm from my noise.
Your peace from my fire.
Your name from my silence.

And I—
I’m still fine.
At the cost of me.
