Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You left your sweater on my chair

Threadbare sleeve like a last dare

I keep rewriting what I said

In the margins of my head

[Pre-Chorus]

I drive past where we used to park

Mouth your name to the dashboard dark

If I break

I break out loud

I won't stay small

I won't stay proud

[Chorus]

I won’t bleed for you forever

I’m done drowning in your waves

Turned this wreck into my shelter

Built these scars into a stage

Yeah

You cut me like a promise

But I’m still standing

Crystal clear

You’re a crack in my reflection

I’m the glass in the rearview

Disappearing

[Verse 2]

Your ghost still answers when I call

Same old script on the same old wall

I tear the posters

Let them fall

Make some space to feel it all

[Pre-Chorus]

I taste the truth behind the lie

It stings my throat but keeps me dry

If I shake

I shake this town

I won’t stay lost

I won’t stay down

[Chorus]

I won’t bleed for you forever

I’m done drowning in your waves

Turned this wreck into my shelter

Built these scars into a stage

Yeah

You cut me like a promise

But I’m still standing

Crystal clear

You’re a crack in my reflection

I’m the glass in the rearview

Disappearing

[Bridge]

(hey)

This is the part where I let you go

Screaming your name in a crowded show

Hands in the air like a white flag burned

Heart on my sleeve finally gets its turn

I gave you everything

Everything

Now I’m taking back the ending

[Chorus]

I won’t bleed for you forever

I’m done drowning in your waves

Turned this wreck into my shelter

Built these scars into a stage

Yeah

You cut me like a promise

But I’m still standing

Crystal clear

You’re a crack in my reflection

I’m the glass in the rearview

Disappearing

[Outro]

Mouth your name one last time

Let it break

Let it fade

You’re behind me in the distance

I’m ahead of all this pain
