Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You slammed the door so hard

My picture frames all shook

Back to the corner

Breathing glass

You gave me that crooked look

You pressed my shoulders to the wall

Spit poison in my face

Called me every broken name

Like I was easy to erase

[Chorus]

You taught me higher than this

Now I know what love is

If it feels like begging just to breathe

I’m already leaving

You taught me higher than this

Thank you for the darkness I outgrew

‘Cause every time he raises hands or voice

I’ll know that he’s not you

[Verse 2]

Your whiskey on my T‑shirt

Your shadow in the hall

Phone smashed on the kitchen floor

Tears I hid from all

You made me doubt my own mind

Then blame me when you lied

But every time you made me small

You built the woman who survived

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

I used to shake when doors would close

Now I walk right through

I used to think that love meant pain

Now I know the truth

If he ever talks the way you did

I’ll be gone before the bruise

You were the last man

I ever let me lose

[Chorus]

Style

moody alt-pop ballad with female vocals; soft piano and distant pads in the verseskick and warm bass blooming under the hook. chorus hits with wide stacked harmoniesairy guitarsand sharpdry drums. subtle reverse fx and filtered delays add tension; bridge strips back to near-acapella then swells into a finalcathartic chorus.

Prompt

female: Hes an alcoholic and abusive, screaming at me, pinned me against wall, talked to me like shit… made me cry to many times.. but he taught me what I want and raised my expectations of next man
