[Verse 1]
I don’t recognize my voice these days
It shakes like someone else's shame
Been dragging pieces of myself
Through places I won’t name
They said I’d heal with time and truth
But truth’s been silent since you left
And time just ticks like a loaded gun
Held steady to my chest
[Pre-Chorus]
I learned to smile with a shaking hand
To fake the strength I couldn’t stand
[Chorus]
I’m the fracture in your perfect frame
The part of you you couldn’t tame
The bruise you swore would fade with light
Still bleeding in the dead of night
You can’t erase what you pretend
I break so I don’t have to bend
[Verse 2]
There’s comfort in a darker room
Where no one sees me fall apart
Where silence doesn’t ask for proof
And shadows hold my heart
I screamed your name into the glass
Till my voice began to crack
But even echoes let me go
And you never once looked back
[Pre-Chorus]
I stitched myself with broken threads
Now I wear the things I never said
[Chorus]
I’m the fracture in your perfect frame
The part of you you couldn’t tame
The bruise you swore would fade with light
Still bleeding in the dead of night
You can’t erase what you pretend
I break so I don’t have to bend
[Verse 3 – Soft, Reflective]
Sometimes I wonder if you ever cared
Or if I was just a space to fill
'Cause I gave you all my fire
And you left me in the chill
Now I walk through conversations
Like a ghost still tied to chains
Smiling just enough to pass
While my soul still speaks in pain
[Bridge – Screamed first, then clean]
You wanted silence, now you’ve got it
I buried words you never wanted
I wore the chains you handed me
But I built the fire to set me free
(Sung, soaring)
I won’t be what you forgot
I won’t live in your regret
This pain is mine to carry
But you don’t own it yet
[Chorus – Reframed with Power]
I’m the fracture in your perfect frame
The storm you tried to lock in shame
Still screaming when the lights go down
Still bleeding just to feel the sound
You can’t define what you defend
I break so I don’t have to bend
[Final Chorus – Stripped Down Then Full Band]
(Soft)
I’m the fracture you left behind
In the silence you won’t find
(Loud)
And I still burn, I still remain
A voice inside your guilt and flame
You never cared how far I'd bend—
But I broke, and I won’t again
[Outro - Whispered]
This time…
I shatter on my terms.
