Verse 1 (soft, sad)
I don’t want this anymore
You can have it back tonight
All the love I tried to give
All the endless fights
Now I see it clearly
What I couldn’t see before
I was just a place to land
When you needed something more
Chorus
Hope’s a bitter blade to carry
Every time you try again
The tighter that you hold it
The deeper it cuts within
All I ever wanted
Was someone real and true
But all I ever was to you
Was something you could use
⸻
Verse 2 (heavier realization)
You never saw the damage
You never felt the truth
My pain was just a punchline
Some small joke to you
I gave you everything I had
My heart, my time, my breath
I thought that love could save us
But love just bled to death
Chorus
Hope’s a bitter blade to carry
Every time you try again
The tighter that you hold it
The deeper it cuts within
All I ever wanted
Was someone real and true
But all I ever was to you
Was something you could use
⸻
Verse 3 (anger rising)
You didn’t want a partner
You didn’t want a friend
You wanted someone patient
You could break again and again
Someone just to hold you
Someone just to blame
Someone you could tear apart
So you never felt the shame
⸻
Bridge (quiet → breaking)
I begged you just to see me
I begged you just to care
But you only ever needed
Someone standing there
Someone to scream at
Someone to bruise
Someone you could destroy
⸻
Final Chorus (big, emotional)
Hope’s a bitter blade to carry
Every time you try again
The tighter that you hold it
The deeper it cuts within
All I ever wanted
Was someone real and true
But all I ever was to you
Was something you could use
⸻
Outro (raw scream)
Fuck you
Fuck you
FUCK YOU.
