just left the wrong life

Intro / Guitar]

Oooh…

Oooh…

(Let it burn… let it burn…)

Oooh…

Verse 1

I watched a life from a distance

Like it wasn’t mine to save

A body moving through hollow motions

A name I never claimed

Her hands shook like brittle branches

Her eyes fading into shadow

Every dream packed in boxes

Labeled “not mine”

I didn’t scream when it ended

I didn’t fight the dark

I just breathed in silence

While it hollowed out my heart

Pre-Chorus

I thought numbness was safer than fracture

I thought watching was control

But you can’t outrun the corrosion

When you are living without a soul

Chorus

I watched my whole life fall apart

Like it was someone else’s pain

I felt the light drain from my body

And I didn’t look away

But when I finally rose

And let the old world burn behind

I didn’t lose myself forever

I just left the wrong life

(I just left the wrong life…)

Verse

I remember mirrors without reflection

Days that hummed like muted bells

People spoke, I nodded

But I was a ghost in myself

I watched him plead for connection

Through lips that refused to open

I watched love curl into distance

I watched hope suffocate silently in me

I thought survival meant staying

Endurance meant salvation

But staying slowly killed me

And leaving became my liberation

Pre-Chorus

Is it grief, living halfway?

Is it violence, in delay?

Every second you abandon yourself

Rips something from the marrow you cannot reclaim

Chorus

I watched my whole life fall apart

Like it was someone else’s pain

I felt the light drain from my body

And I didn’t look away

But when I finally rose

And let the old world burn behind

I didn’t lose myself forever

I just left the wrong life

(I just left the wrong life…)

Bridge

There was no revelation

No voice, no sign, no grace

Only a quiet reckoning in the dark

To stop surrendering myself

I didn’t rise like salvation

I rose like a wound learning to breathe

One step from the person I was

One step back into myself

Final Chorus

I watched my whole life fall apart

Like it was someone else’s pain

I felt the light drain from my bones

And I didn’t look away

I watched my whole life fall apart

Like it was someone else’s pain

But when I finally rose

And let the old world burn behind

I didn’t lose myself forever

I just left the wrong life

(I just left the wrong life…)

Outro

This wasn’t someone else’s ending

This was me learning to see

I didn’t lose my life to the fall

I reclaimed it, piece by piece

I watched my whole life fall apart

Like it was someone else’s pain

But I didn’t vanish into the void

I just walked away

(I didn’t vanish… I walked away…)
