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…)
