[Verse 1 – Intimate, whispered vulnerability; soft indie-folk piano, breathy and delicate delivery]
Funny how you can sleep beside someone
and never feel the blade beneath their tongue
Too close to notice when it twists so slow
leaves scars that no one else can know
I would’ve scrubbed your name clean with trembling hands
believed you’d stand for me the way I always planned
But you struck the match and walked away laughing
left me choking on smoke, ashes, and longing
[Pre‑Chorus – Rising tension, quiet yet piercing; slightly more urgent vocal, almost a trembling edge]
Said it was me, that I sparked every blaze
while you whispered gasoline into every face
[Chorus – Emotional release, full vulnerability; raw, sustained vocals, slow build, indie-folk instrumentation swells]
You watched the walls ignite and didn’t make a sound
I had to run before the roof came crashing down
You fed your choir poison, served deceit as dinner
now your halo is rusted, your grace grows thinner
You saw the house burning, still you shut me out
take a long, hard look in the mirror now
[Verse 2 – Reflective, brooding; softer dynamics, intimate storytelling with slight melancholy]
How do you rest your head at night
with every mask stripped from your side?
Every olive branch I offered you, shattered
you chose revenge as if it even mattered
You drowned in bitterness instead of truth
still swear innocence like you’ve got proof
but we both know how deep that shovel dug
burying love beneath the mud
[Chorus – Reiteration with more intensity; vocals more urgent, harmonies layered to emphasize emotional weight]
You watched the walls ignite and didn’t make a sound
I had to run before the roof came crashing down
You fed your choir poison, served deceit as dinner
now your halo is rusted, your grace grows thinner
You saw the house burning, still you shut me out
take a long, hard look in the mirror now
[Bridge – Vulnerable, almost confessional; sparse instrumentation, close mic, delicate vocal cracks allowed]
Said you’d pray for me each night
but I heard your spite in every psalm
building coffins in your mind
while we shared the same four walls
[Final Chorus – Climactic, raw emotional release; vocals open, letting breath and fragility shine, with subtle instrumental crescendo]
You watched the walls ignite and didn’t make a sound
I had to run before the roof came crashing down
You fed your choir poison, served deceit as dinner
now your halo is rusted, your grace grows thinner
Said you’d pray for me but you wanted me to fall
digging graves behind our shared four walls
