(Intro – low, echoing)
Yeah…
Some people overdose on drugs—
I overdosed on you.
(Verse 1)
Started with a spark, now I’m drowning in the flame,
Used to hear your name and feel joy—now it’s pain.
Thought we built a heaven, but it’s hell in disguise,
Every kiss was a blade, every hug full of lies.
Now I’m staring at the ceiling, heart heavy with regret,
Used to dream of forever, now I dream of death.
You said you loved deep, but I didn’t see the fall,
Gave you all of me, now there’s nothing left at all.
(Verse 2)
We were Romeo and Juliet, modern-day script,
But you left me bleeding with the bottle to my lips.
You held my soul close, then you shattered it apart,
Turned my smile into scars, turned my hope into dark.
I wrote your name on my wrist in a line I can’t erase,
‘Cause love became a noose, and I wore it with grace.
It’s not about weakness, it’s the strength to let go,
But when love is the poison, how you heal when it’s slow?
(Chorus – melodic, echoing)
Love kills slow, like a whisper in your sleep,
It don’t scream loud—it just buries you deep.
It’s the tear you hide, the ache in your chest,
The lover you lose who still won’t let you rest.
(Verse 3 – heavier)
Tried therapy, prayer, liquor, and pills,
But nothing fills the hole that your silence still drills.
Saw your face in the smoke, heard your name in the wind,
You’re the ghost in my lungs I keep breathing in.
I check your page like I’m checking a pulse,
Every post is a blade, every smile is a jolt.
You moved on—clean, calm, and wide-eyed,
While I rot in the bed where our memories died.
(Bridge – broken voice feel)
I sleep with regrets, and they all wear your skin,
You’re not just an ex, you’re the war I can’t win.
I tried to move on, but you stitched in my soul,
You’re the slowest goodbye I’ll ever know.
(Verse 4 – storytelling deep cut)
Remember that night? You said, “Don’t let go”?
Now I got your name carved in my shadow.
I smile in the mirror, but my eyes don’t lie,
They still replay the night I wanted to die.
Friends say “You’ll heal,” but they don’t know pain,
They don’t know what it’s like to bleed in the rain.
To scream at the wall with your heart in your hands,
Begging for God, but all you hear is silence and fans.
(Final Chorus – softer at first, builds)
Love kills slow, like rust on the steel,
You don’t even notice ’til you can’t even feel.
It’s the breath that chokes, the peace that won’t show,
It’s a lifetime of scars from one “hello.”
(Final Chorus – big)
Love kills slow, and the worst part is this—
You forget how it started, but remember the kiss.
It’s the fall with no end, the cut with no blade,
It’s the price that you pay when love starts to fade.
(Outro – spoken, cracked voice)
So if I vanish…
Don’t blame the dark.
Blame the way love
Taught me how to fall apart.
