Starved

Seventeen, yeah I bled for you
Thought your silence meant something true
Gave you everything I couldn’t fake
You gave me distance I couldn’t take

First time, yeah I gave it up
Two months in and it all went numb
You said love didn’t need that much
But I was dying without your touch

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
You kept me waiting, I kept breaking
Every night felt suffocating

⸻

[Chorus]
I was starved in your arms, couldn’t feel a thing
You said “be patient” like it fixed everything
I was screaming just to feel alive
While you barely even tried
Love shouldn’t feel like begging on my knees
For a body that don’t want me
So I cut you out, let it bleed
Better alone than empty

⸻

[Verse 2]
Every fight was the same damn script
I’d lose my mind, you’d just dismiss
Said I changed, said I went too far
But you never asked who you are

Yeah I flirted, yeah I needed proof
That I could still be wanted too
But even then it didn’t click
You just watched me self-destruct a bit

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
I got louder, you got colder
Every second made me older

⸻

[Chorus]
I was starved in your arms, couldn’t feel a thing
You said “be patient” like it fixed everything
I was screaming just to feel alive
While you barely even tried
Love shouldn’t feel like begging on my knees
For a body that don’t want me
So I cut you out, let it bleed
Better alone than empty

⸻

[Bridge – scream/whisper mix]
Don’t say you loved me, you don’t get that word
If I had to beg just to be heard
I gave you my first, you gave me doubt
Now I’m the one who’s walking out

I’m not insane for needing fire
You just killed every damn desire

⸻

[Breakdown – slow, heavy]
Cold sheets, your side untouched
Funny how I still wanted you so much
Now I hate how I needed that
But I won’t ever go back

⸻

[Final Chorus – louder, unhinged]
I was starved in your arms, I was fading out
You let me drown while you stood around
I was breaking just to feel your skin
But you never let me in
I won’t beg for something so incomplete
I won’t die just to feel your heat
So I burned it down, set me free
Better alone than empty
