Without You I’m Nothing

[Verse 1]
I wore your favorite colors
Changed my laugh, my name, my skin
Built myself from broken pieces
Of the person you were in
You drew the outline, I stood still
Let you shade in all my flaws
You said, “Now you’re what I wanted”
Then you left and took it all
[Chorus]
Without you I’m nothing
At least that’s what you drilled into my head
I became what you wanted
You still turned around and left me for dead
I hate that I love you
Can’t stop this misery you put me through
Without you I’m nothing
’Cause you taught me to be wretched like you
[Verse 2]
You rewrote my every memory
Called my doubts a silly phase
Every boundary I defended
You burned down and called it change
Now I’m staring in the mirror
Hearing every word you spit
All this damage in my voice
Sounds exactly like you did
[Chorus]
Without you I’m nothing
At least that’s what you drilled into my head
I became what you wanted
You still turned around and left me for dead
I hate that I love you
Can’t stop this misery you put me through
Without you I’m nothing
’Cause you taught me to be wretched like you
[Bridge]
You made my heart a haunted house
Every room another doubt
Every promise just a trap
Every “sorry” just a mask
I claw my way out of your cage (hey!)
But your chains are in my veins
I don’t even know my face
Just the echo of your name
[Chorus]
Without you I’m nothing
At least that’s what you drilled into my head
I became what you wanted
You still turned around and left me for dead
I hate that I love you
Can’t stop this misery you put me through
Without you I’m nothing
But I’m learning that it’s nothing like you
