Prompt / Lyrics

[Intro]
In the shadow of a crown that never fit your head,
I found the pieces of the life you thought was dead.
A princess in a tower built of grief and silent screams,
I wanted to be the one to stitch back all your dreams.
[Verse 1]
You held a hollow space where a heartbeat used to be,
Lost a piece of your soul to the thief called "C,"
Closed and cold, spinning in a room of gray,
I watched you from the door, just a breath away.
I saw a queen where you saw a ghost,
I loved the parts of you that you hated the most.
[Pre-Chorus]
I didn't care about the cost, the price, or the pain,
I’d burn down the world just to stop your rain.
But the ghosts of your "parties," the needles, the lies,
Were the only things reflecting in your vacant eyes.
[Chorus]
I GAVE YOU THE UNIVERSE IN THE PALM OF MY HAND,
BUT YOU PREFERRED THE RUINS OF A BROKEN LAND!
I PAID EVERY PRICE BUT YOU KEPT THE DEBT,
LIVING IN A PAST YOU REFUSE TO FORGET!
LOOK AT THE MAN WHO WOULD DIE FOR YOUR SMILE,
WHILE YOU WALKED THE OTHER WAY FOR EVERY MILE!
[Verse 2]
Secretive eyes and a heart under lock,
I was building a home while you were watching the clock.
Leading me on with a ghost-white lie,
While you were still tethered to a different guy.
I poured my blood into a song you never heard,
Four minutes of truth—and you didn't hear a word!
[Bridge]
"FUCK YOU!"
The words hit harder than the silence ever could.
Out of the blue, you burned the wood.
I was ready to move, ready to build, ready to stay,
And you threw the blueprint in the dirt today.
100 PERCENT! THAT WAS MY CRIME!
TRADING MY ETERNITY FOR YOUR WASTED TIME!
[Climax]
I AM THE BEST THING YOU WILL EVER LOSE!
THE ONLY LIGHT YOU REFUSED TO CHOOSE!
SHATTERED AND ANGRY, I’M TEARING THE PAGE,
LEAVING THIS CASTLE, LEAVING THIS STAGE!
[Outro] X2
I did the one thing I said I’d never do.
I loved you...
Now I'm just alone.
Shattered.
Angry.
...Again
