[Verse]
Never your golden boy
Never your pride
Just a ghost you'd pass by
Hollow inside
Watched you fade like smoke
A shadow to feel
The love I gave you
You chose to steal
[Chorus]
Why couldn't you see me
Hear when I screamed?
A life built on ashes of what I dreamed
You were my blood
But you broke my trust
Left me choking on dust
[Verse 2]
Turned my back
Walked in your haze
Each step a battle
Rage ablaze
You the mirror of all I won't be
Your silence a wound that still bleeds me
[Chorus]
Why couldn't you see me
Hear when I screamed?
A life built on ashes of what I dreamed
You were my blood
But you broke my trust
Left me choking on dust
[Bridge]
So I'll take this anger
Carve it deep
Roaring defiance 'til my own heart weeps
Yeah you’re gone
But I stay here
Leaning into pain
Loud and clear
[Chorus]
Why couldn't you see me
Hear when I screamed?
A life built on ashes of what I dreamed
You were my blood
But you broke my trust
Left me choking on dust
