Lyrics

Verse 1 (low, breathy — almost spoken-sung)

Boom… snap…

Yeah, my heart cracked,

Straight down the middle when I let you tap in.

You talk in circles, games and riddles,

Had me loving you deep while you stayed so little.

I fell face first into your chaos,

Called it passion, but it cost my soul.

You said, “baby, relax,” while you lost control,

I was holding us down while you let us go.

Pre-Chorus (melody lifts slightly, tension builds)

I kept you warm when you were cold,

Ignored the truth I already know.

Every promise felt rehearsed,

You loved the benefits, not the hurt.

Chorus (smooth but cutting — this is the hook)

I’m stuck inside, I can’t get out,

Your love’s a cage with no way out.

I’m lost, I’m spinning, going numb,

You consumed me till there’s nothing left to love.

Your lies… your addictions…

Selfish habits, no redemption.

I’m out of time, I’m flatlined now,

I loved you real—you just loved the sound.

Verse 2 (more venom, confident delivery)

You wanted loyalty but never gave effort,

Wanted forgiveness without the pressure.

You drank your demons, slept with regret,

Then came home asking why I ain’t left yet.

You chipped away at my self-esteem,

Made me feel lucky just to be seen.

Now I question my worth in the aftermath,

‘Cause loving you felt like math I couldn’t pass.

Pre-Chorus 2

I shrunk myself to fit your mood,

Made excuses I didn’t have to choose.

You called me crazy when I reacted,

But pain don’t lie—your love was fractured.

Chorus (repeat, more emotion)

I’m stuck inside, I can’t get out,

Your love’s a cage with no way out.

I’m lost, I’m spinning, going numb,

You consumed me till there’s nothing left to love.

Your lies… your addictions…

Selfish habits, no redemption.

I’m out of time, I’m flatlined now,

I loved you real—you just loved the sound.

Bridge (half-time, raw, almost whispered)

I’m drowning in regret,

Lonely laying right next to you in this bed.

Mistreated but I stayed quiet,

Loved you loud while you denied it.

I kept hoping you’d finally choose me,

But you only loved what I did, not who I be.

Now I’m peeling your name off my skin,

You don’t get access to me again.

I survived loving someone like you,

That alone says everything I need to.

Final Chorus (stronger, empowered)

I was stuck inside, now I’m out,

Broke every lock you put around my heart.

I was lost, I was spinning, going numb,

Now I’m choosing me—yeah, I’m done.

Keep your lies, your addictions,

I don’t need your half-ass apologies.

I ran out of tears, I found my crown,

This flatline love can’t hurt me now.

Outro (soft, seductive calm)

Boom… snap…

Yeah, my heart cracked.

But I stitched it back with self-respect.
