(Mmmmmm)
(Oooo OOOOOO AAHHHHHH)
What’s it gonna take for you to stop—
(Digging deep)
Into my open wounds that—
(You caused)
Ooh baby
I watched you so many times as the love that you
So-called had for me
(Fade awayyyyy)
I stayed quiet while you broke my name
Held your weight while I carried the blame
You said forever like it didn’t cost a thing
Then walked away when it asked you to bleed
Every promise felt like borrowed time
Every touch felt like a loaded lie
(MACHINE GUN)
I was loving you on empty faith
While you were already halfway gone
So tell me—
Why does love feel like survival? (Mmmm)
Why do I bleed just to keep you alive?
I gave you all of me, you took what you wanted (ooooo)
Left me here praying I’ll be fine
Why does your goodbye echo louder
Than every “I love you” you said? (Eeeoooo)
If this is love, I don’t want it
I’m done losing myself to you again (uuummm)
I’m peeling you off my skin tonight
Every scar is a lesson, not a life
God sees the tears you never did
And I’m stronger now than I’ve ever been
Now I’m learning how to breathe again
Without your weight on my chest
I talk to God in the quiet moments
He’s been answering my prayers
So tell me—
Why does love feel like survival? (Mmmm)
Why do I bleed just to keep you alive?
I gave you all of me, you took what you wanted (ooooo)
Left me here praying I’ll be fine
Why does your goodbye echo louder
Than every “I love you” you said? (Eeeoooo)
If this is love, I don’t want it
I’m done losing myself to you again (uuummm)
I stopped begging you to see my worth
Started seeing it myself
Every tear I cried watered roots
Now I’m growing past the hurt
I forgive you, not for what you did
But for the peace I need to live
I don’t need closure from your hands
God closed the door—now I understand
wwoooOIOOO -OOOO-OOO
SO TELL ME-
Why does love feel like survival?!
Why did I bleed just to keep you alive?!
I gave you ALL of me—YOU TOOK WHAT YOU WANTED
LEFT ME HERE JUST TRYIN’ TO SURVIVE
Why does your goodbye echo LOUDER
Than every “I love you” you said?!
If THIS is love, I DON’T WANT IT (no no)
I’M DONE LOSING MYSELF—
I’M DONE LOSING MYSELF—
TO YOU AGAIN
I FOUGHT FOR US (mmmm)
WHEN YOU LET GO
I HELD THE LINE
ALONE—ALONE
YOU DON’T GET TO HURT ME
(HURT MEEEE)
AND CALL IT LOVE
YOU DON’T GET MY BODY
YOU DON’T GET MY SOUL
YOU DON’T GET MY MIND
ENOUGH—ENOUGH
⸻
I’M NOT BROKEN—I’M BECOMING
I’M NOT DYING—I SURVIVED
WHAT YOU LOST—GOD IS RESTORING
AND I’M WALKING OUT—
WITH MY LIFE
(MY LIFE MY LIFE)
I’M FREEEEEEEEE!!!
(Ooooaaahhhhh)
