[Verse 1]
I’ve been scrolling through my ghosts
Names I never really knew
All these faces in the glow
Still I only look for you
Kitchen floor at 2 a.m
Fridge light on
I’m wide awake
Reading texts I never sent
Drafts of things I couldn’t say
[Pre-Chorus]
How did I drown
In the shallow end
Heart on the floor
Phone in my hand
If you called right now
I’d break again
I’d break again (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m tired of bleeding for the memory
Tired of carrying your shadow in my chest
You were the wound I kept reopening
Calling it love
Calling it love at its best
I gave you everything and then some
You gave me almost
You gave me halfway
I’m tired of bleeding for the memory
I’m walking out of that grave
[Verse 2]
You said
“Maybe we’re too young”
Then you kissed my shaking mouth
Left your sweater in my room
Like a flag you planted south
Every promise had an if
Every future came with terms
I kept shrinking just to fit
Now the fabric starts to burn
[Pre-Chorus]
How did I bend
Till the bones would creak
Talking in code
Every time we’d speak
If you came back now
I’d lose a week
I’d lose a week (oh)
[Chorus]
I’m tired of bleeding for the memory
Tired of carrying your shadow in my chest
You were the wound I kept reopening
Calling it love
Calling it love at its best
I gave you everything and then some
You gave me almost
You gave me halfway
I’m tired of bleeding for the memory
I’m walking out of that grave
[Bridge]
[beat pulls back
Vocal upfront]
This is the last time
I rehearse the scene
Where you come back
And you say what you mean
This is the last night
I sleep in your chain
I’m not your shelter
I’m not your blame
[build – drums rising
Bass swelling]
[Chorus]
I’m done with bleeding for the memory
Done letting you be the ruler of my head
You were the storm I stood in willingly
Calling it love while I froze to the edge
I gave you everything and then some
Now I want all of me back again
I’m done with bleeding for the memory
This is the part where I mend
[Chorus]
I’m done with bleeding for the memory
Hear my own name as it cuts through the noise (cuts through)
You were the cage that I called home to me
Now I step out and I find my own voice
I gave you everything and then some
Now I’m the one that I’m trying to save
I’m done with bleeding for the memory
I’m walking out of that grave (that grave)
