When you’re living without a soul

Let it burn

Let it burn behind

me

Verse

I watched a life from a distance

Like it wasn’t mine to save

A body moving through the motions

A name I never claimed

I saw her hands shaking at the table

Saw her eyes go dull with time

Every dream packed into boxes

Labeled “not mine”

I didn’t scream when it was ending

I didn’t fight when it went dark

I just sat there breathing softly

While it hollowed out my heart

Pre-Chorus

I thought numb was safer than broken

I thought watching meant control

But you can’t outrun the damage

When you’re living without a soul

Chorus

I watched my whole life fall apart

Like it was someone else’s pain

I watched the light just leave my body

And I didn’t even look away

But when I finally stood up

And let the old world burn behind

I didn’t lose myself forever

I just left the wrong life

Verse

I remember mirrors without reflection

I remember days without sound

People spoke and I nodded

But I was nowhere to be found

I watched him beg for connection

Through a mouth that wouldn’t speak

I watched love turn into distance

I watched hope go quiet in me

I thought survival meant staying

Thought endurance was enough

But staying was slowly killing me

And leaving felt like giving up

Pre-Chorus

Is it grief, in living halfway

Is it violence, in delay

Every second you abandon yourself

It takes something you can’t replace

Chorus

I watched my whole life fall apart

Like it was someone else’s pain

I watched the light just leave my body

And I didn’t even look away

But when I finally stood up

And let the old world burn behind

I didn’t lose myself forever

I just left the wrong life

(I just left the wrong life)

Bridge

There was no moment of awakening

No voice, no sign, no grace

Just a quiet decision in the dark

To stop leaving myself in that place

I didn’t rise like a miracle

I rose like a wound learning to breathe

One step away from the person I was

One step back into me

Final Chorus

I watched my whole life fall apart

Like it was someone else’s pain

I watched the light just leave my body

And I didn’t even look away

(didn’t even look away)

I watched my whole life fall apart

Like it was someone else’s pain

But when I finally stood up

And let the old world burn behind

I didn’t lose myself forever

I just left the wrong life

(I just left the wrong life)

Outro

This wasn’t someone else’s ending

This was me learning how to see

I didn’t lose my life to the fall

I just gave it back to me

I watched my whole life fall apart

Like it was someone else’s pain

But I didn’t lose myself forever

I just left, just walked away

(didn’t lose myself forever)

I left, I walked away.
