Prompt / Lyrics
Intro – soft, almost hopeful, distant room tone] I still wake up Like it’s over [Verse 1] I still check the locks at night Still count my breaths in threes But the screams don’t live here anymore Just quiet memories They told me I was lucky Said I beat the odds Said some people don’t get out I guess I’m one who does [Pre-Chorus] They never said why They just said run And I did [Chorus] I’m the one he let go That’s what they say The proof that monsters slip And plans can break Detective Dan said I was safe Looked me dead in the face Said it was done Said I was saved [Verse 2] I gave a statement, shook a little Hands still wouldn’t stay still They said time would smooth the edges That fear eventually will Dan checked in a couple times Asked if I was holding up I said yeah, I’m sleeping fine I lied just enough [Pre-Chorus 2] I never asked Why I lived I didn’t want the answer [Chorus] I’m the one he let go I tell myself That someone slipped That he lost control I wear survival like a badge Like it means something real Like being alive Means I didn’t kneel [Bridge – tension creeping in] Sometimes I wonder Late at night Why he stopped Why I wasn’t next Sometimes I swear I hear a choice In the silence I left unchecked [Final Chorus – darker, restrained] I’m the one he let go And I don’t know why Everyone says I survived But no one says how If this was mercy It feels wrong Like I was spared Just to live this long [Outro – quiet, fragile] Dan… If you hear this I tried to be okay
