Prompt / Lyrics
**Verse I** I laid my heart on your altar stone Hands still shaking, I stood alone Gold on my tongue, blood in my throat I said your name like an oath I learned your silence by memory Wore your absence like jewelry If this is love, let it ruin me I am ready to disappear **Pre-Chorus** I gave until there was nothing left If you were listening, you never said A word **Chorus** I bled in the dark just to feel you near I called you God, you called it fear I knelt where the light couldn’t reach And loved you like a disease I broke myself to be enough Held my breath for your touch This was a prayer that never spoke back I gave you my heart You gave me lack **Verse II** I learned devotion from open wounds From saying “stay” to empty rooms Your shadow sleeps inside my chest A ghost I never could confess I made a home in the fallout Called it faith, called it love If you are heaven, then let me rot I was never who you want **Pre-Chorus** I gave until my hands were bare If you were watching You never cared **Chorus** I bled in the dark just to feel you near I called you God, you called it fear I knelt where the light couldn’t reach And loved you like a disease I broke myself to be enough Held my breath for your touch This was a prayer that never spoke back I gave you my heart You gave me lack **Bridge (soft, stripped back)** If love is mercy Why does it hurt like truth If you are holy Why do I feel used Say my name Or say goodbye Anything is kinder than the night **Breakdown (heavy, desperate)** I GAVE UNTIL I WAS EMPTY I WORSHIPPED WHAT WAS NEVER MINE **Final Chorus (full)** I bled in the dark just to feel you near I called you God, you called it fear I knelt where the light couldn’t reach And loved you like a disease I broke myself to be enough Held my breath for your touch This was a prayer that never spoke back I gave you my heart You gave me— **Outro** Silence. ---
