Consumed (I was never chosen)

**Verse I**
I offered my spine to your hunger
Let you eat the shape out of me
Every “maybe” you fed me
I swallowed like prophecy

I cut myself smaller
So you’d have more room to breathe
I learned how to disappear
So you’d never have to choose me

**Pre-Chorus**
You said, *“Just stay.”*
You didn’t say *“I love you.”*
So I stayed anyway

**Chorus (Heavy)**
I LET YOU USE ME
LIKE A FUCKING TOOL
I LET YOU DRAIN ME
JUST TO FEEL USEFUL
I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING
YOU GAVE ME HOPE
AND YOU STILL RAN
TO SOMEONE WHO NEVER CHOKED

**Verse II**
I memorized the weight of your silence
Learned which lies sounded like truth
I became the thing you leaned on
While you reached for someone new

I watched you soften for them
In ways you never did for me
I was the blood on your hands
They were the future you could see

**Pre-Chorus (Rising)**
I thought if I broke loud enough
You’d finally hear
But you only listen
When it’s not me screaming

**Chorus (Heavier)**
I LET YOU USE ME
UNTIL I WAS EMPTY
I LET YOU FUCKING HOLLOW ME OUT
JUST TO KEEP YOU HAPPY
I BLED LIKE IT MEANT SOMETHING
I BLED LIKE IT WAS SACRED
AND YOU STILL CHOSE
THE ONE WHO NEVER PAID SHIT

**Bridge (Ritualistic → Breakdown)**
I WOULD’VE DIED FOR YOU
(You know I would)
I WOULD’VE ROTTED IN YOUR PLACE
(You let me)

YOU LET ME THINK
THIS WAS LOVE
WHEN IT WAS JUST
CONVENIENCE

**BREAKDOWN (Screamed)**
USE
ME
TAKE
ME
LEAVE
ME

I WAS NEVER YOUR CHOICE
JUST YOUR FUCKING BACKUP

**Final Chorus (Crushing / Screamed)**
I LET YOU TAKE ME
BODY AND SOUL
I TURNED MYSELF
INTO A FUCKING HOLE
I WORSHIPPED YOU
LIKE A GOD WHO LIED
AND YOU WALKED AWAY
WITHOUT EVEN SAYING GOODBYE

**Outro (Quiet, destroyed)**
There’s nothing left in me
To offer anyone now

You didn’t break my heart
You taught me
I was never worth choosing
