**Verse I**
I learned your shape in the dark
From the space you left in my arms
I traced your name in my skin
Like a language carved by loss
You were a promise in flame
I was the ash you became
Every time I said “stay”
You answered by pulling away
**Pre-Chorus**
I gave you everything I had
You asked for more
And I said yes
**Chorus**
I laid my love at your feet
Like a body begging for sleep
If this is faith, then let it break me
I was never meant to leave
I bled myself into truth
Just to be something you’d choose
I called it love, you called it weak
Now I am what the silence took from me
**Verse II**
I kept you holy in my chest
Even when you hollowed it
I made excuses for the pain
Called it depth, called it fate
You drank devotion like a cure
Left me sick and wanting more
If I was made to worship you
Why did you walk when I fell through?
**Pre-Chorus**
I gave you all I couldn’t save
You watched me fade
And stayed the same
**Chorus**
I laid my love at your feet
Like a body begging for sleep
If this is faith, then let it break me
I was never meant to leave
I bled myself into truth
Just to be something you’d choose
I called it love, you called it weak
Now I am what the silence took from me
**Bridge (soft, almost whispered)**
Say it was real
Say it meant something
Say my name
Like I was human
If you are God
Then I was nothing
If I am empty
You made me this way
**Breakdown (heavy, crushing)**
I GAVE
UNTIL I DISAPPEARED
I PRAYED
AND NOTHING HEARD
**Final Chorus (full, emotional)**
I laid my love at your feet
Like a body begging for sleep
If this is faith, then let it break me
I was never meant to leave
I bled myself into truth
Just to be something you’d choose
I called it love, you called it weak
Now I am what the silence took from me
**Outro**
I stayed.
You vanished.
That was the offering.
