Shadows Show Me You

[Verse 1]
You called me perfect when you were bored
Pulled my strings just to hear me sing
You wrote my name on someone’s skin
Then wiped it off like it was nothing
You kissed my scars
Then laughed it off
Said I was "too much" when I bled on your hands
I was begging you to let me in
You were handing out my heart to your friends
[Chorus]
This is the end of me
The end of who I was for you
You pushed me away
When I was trying to love you
Now the shadows show the truth
Every lie you painted bright
I was just a thing to you
Something you could break and pass around at night
[Verse 2]
You bend the story
Make me the flaw
Call it "complicated
" call it "bad timing"
But in the dark your mask falls down
And all your pretty lines turn ugly
You wanted power
Not a pulse
You loved the chase
Not the person you caught
I see your face in every ghost
But now your name is all I forgot
[Chorus]
This is the end of me
The end of who I was for you
You pushed me away
When I was trying to love you
Now the shadows show the truth
Every lie you painted bright
I was just a thing to you
Something you could break and pass around at night
[Bridge]
You wanted me begging on my knees (on my knees)
You wanted me hollow when you’d leave (when you’d leave)
But I’m carving out your memory
Cutting you out of every dream
[Chorus]
This is the end of me
The end of who I was for you
You pushed me away
When I was trying to love you
Now the shadows show the truth
Every lie you painted bright
I was just a thing to you
Now I’m walking from the wreck
And you’re screaming in the ruins of our night

metal, Modern melodic metal with male vocals; drop-tuned guitars chug and gallop under a tense half-time groove, drums crack with double-kick bursts into the hook. Verses stay tight and simmering with palm-muted riffs; chorus opens wide with soaring, layered vocals over big chords. Bridge dives into a darker, syncopated breakdown that snaps back into the final chorus for a cathartic, shout-along finish.
