Cut My Name Out

[Verse 1]
You said “forever”
Then you left mid-sentence
Door slammed
My heart still talking to the silence
Coffee going cold
Phone face down
Your jacket on the chair
Like you’re still around
[Chorus]
Cut my name out of your story
Let it bleed out on the page
Every letter feels like glory
Till it’s rusted into shame
Love was a blade in your pocket
You smiled as you walked away
Now I trace the edge of the promise
And all I feel is pain
(all I feel is pain)
[Verse 2]
Band-aids on my fingers
From picking at the past
Your ghost on the mirror
Writing “this won’t last”
You were saying “always”
While cutting at the seams
I was busy bleeding
Calling it a dream
[Chorus]
Cut my name out of your story
Let it bleed out on the page
Every letter feels like glory
Till it’s rusted into shame
Love was a blade in your pocket
You smiled as you walked away
Now I trace the edge of the promise
And all I feel is pain
(all I feel is pain, yeah)
[Bridge]
If this is love
Why am I
Staring at the ceiling
Counting scars?
If this is gone
Why does it
Still feel like you live in my arms? (oh)
[Chorus]
Cut my name out of your story
Let it bleed out on the page
Every letter felt like glory
Now it’s dripping into grey
Love was a blade in your pocket
You smiled as you walked away
I keep saying I’m okay
I’m okay
But all I feel is pain
(all I feel is pain)

Moody alt-pop ballad over sparse piano and distant pads, swelling into a thick, reverb-drenched chorus with layered male vocals. Subtle electronic percussion pulses under the hook; verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, chorus widens with airy harmonies and a booming low-end impact on key words. Bridge strips back to almost a whisper, then final chorus hits hardest with extra ad-libs and echo trails.
