**Verse 1**
I wake up to the weight of your silence
Like it never learned my name
Every word you never said
Still crawling through my veins
I tried to be your shelter
Tried to be your home
But you don’t feel the damage
When you leave someone alone
**Pre-Chorus**
You swore I’d be the one you’d save
But I was just a phase
You learned how to forget my face
While I memorized the pain
**Chorus**
I’m still breathing, still alone
Still breaking bones to build a throne
For you to sit and watch me fall
Like I was nothing at all
You walked away, I stayed the same
Still drowning in the blame
I’m still breathing, still alone
In the wreckage you call “grown”
**Verse 2**
I hear your voice in strangers now
Every laugh feels like a lie
You took the best parts of me
Then taught me how to die inside
I keep my heart behind my teeth
So no one hears it scream
I learned that loving you
Was never what it seemed
**Pre-Chorus**
You said I’d heal if I moved on
But you’re stitched into my skin
I carry every broken night
Like it’s oxygen
**Chorus**
I’m still breathing, still alone
Still building hope from broken bones
For you to burn and walk away
Like I deserved the pain
You walked away, I stayed the same
Still choking on your name
I’m still breathing, still alone
In the ruins of what we wrote
**Bridge (screamed)**
YOU TOOK MY TRUST
AND CALLED IT LOVE
YOU TOOK MY HEART
AND FUCKED IT UP
I GAVE YOU MORE
THAN I COULD BLEED
NOW I’M THE SCAR
YOU NEVER SEE
**Breakdown (spoken → scream)**
I don’t miss you
I miss who I was before you
I don’t hate you
I hate what you turned me into
**Final Chorus (emotional / layered vocals)**
I’m still breathing, still alone
Still haunted by the words you broke
I tried to heal, I tried to change
But I’m stuck inside your frame
You walked away, I stayed the same
Still carrying the blame
I’m still breathing, still alone
But I won’t die the way you hoped
**Outro (soft)**
I’m still here
Even if you’re gone
