Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You said I was nothing I wore it like a name tag Practiced in the mirror How to disappear Handprints on the drywall Silence like a shotgun Photos in a shoebox I keep under the bed [Chorus] Every word you threw Cut straight through Tiny little knives in my head I am not your wound I am not your ruin I am not better off dead You don’t get to write How my story ends I’m still here I’m still here (hey) You don’t get to write How my story ends [Verse 2] Bruises under long sleeves Lies under “I’m fine” Shaking at the doorframe Waiting for the slam Memory is a movie Stuck on every bad scene But there’s a kid inside me Still begging to be seen [Chorus] Every word you threw Cut straight through Tiny little knives in my head I am not your wound I am not your ruin I am not better off dead You don’t get to write How my story ends I’m still here I’m still here (oh) You don’t get to write How my story ends [Bridge] If all I’ve got Is this cracked-up heart Then I’ll hold it I’ll hold it If all I am Is this shaking voice I’ll still use it I’ll still use it (yeah) [Chorus] Every word you threw Falls straight through Losing all its power in the light I am not your shame I am not your blame I am not a ruined life You don’t get to write How my story ends I’m still here I’m still here (hey) You don’t get to write How my story ends

pop, Dark pop-emo ballad with male vocals; intimate piano and distant reverb-soaked guitars in the verses, then a heavy half-time drum groove and deep bass swell for the chorus. Stacked gang-style harmonies on key hook phrases, subtle distorted vocal doubles on emotional peaks, and a bridge that strips back to just voice and piano before the final hook explodes with full-band intensity., emo
