You left me breathing

There’s blood in the silence tonight
And it’s spelling out your name
Every breath feels like a lie
‘Cause nothing feels the same

Verse 1 
I found your voice inside my head again
Screaming things you never said
Like “you were never good enough for me”
Now it’s stitched into my chest
I tried to drown you in the alcohol
But you learned how to swim
Now every bottle’s just a mirror
And I hate what’s looking in

Pre-Chorus 
You said I’d be okay
But you were my escape
Now I’m trapped inside the place
You swore I’d never stay

Chorus 
You left me breathing, but I’m not alive
I’m just a ghost in the shape of your design
Every scar is just your name in disguise
Carved into me where the feeling won’t die
I scream, but it sounds like you
I bleed, but it looks like truth
You didn’t kill me—but you got damn close
Now I’m buried alive in the words you wrote

Verse 2 
I sleep with all the lights turned on again
‘Cause dark feels too much like you
Every shadow in the corner moves
Like it’s got something to prove
I hear the night you walked away on loop
Like a glitch I can’t erase
Your goodbye still echoes in my skull
Like a gunshot in a cage

Pre-Chorus 
You swore you’d never leave
Now you’re the air I can’t breathe
And every part of me
Still begs you not to be

Chorus 
You left me breathing, but I’m not alive
I’m just a ghost in the shape of your design
Every scar is just your name in disguise
Carved into me where the feeling won’t die
I scream, but it sounds like you
I bleed, but it looks like truth
You didn’t kill me—but you got damn close
Now I’m buried alive in the words you wrote

Bridge
I STILL HEAR YOU IN MY SLEEP
(I still hear you, I still hear you…)
TELLING ME I’M NOTHING WITHOUT YOU
I TORE MYSELF APART TO MAKE YOU STAY
AND YOU JUST WATCHED ME FADE
So tell me—was it worth it?
Was I just a phase?
‘Cause I’m still dying
In every word you gave

Final Chorus 
You left me breathing, but I’m not alive
I’m just a corpse keeping up your alibi
Every scar is just your perfect goodbye
Etched in my bones like a permanent lie
I scream, but it sounds like you
I break, and you don’t even move
You didn’t kill me—but you got damn close
Now I’m living alone with a heart you broke

Outro
I’m still here…
But I don’t feel anything…
You took it all…
And left me breathing…
