What I’ve Done For Your Love

[Verse 1]
I burned the map
Just to feel you guide me
Kissed the floor
Till my lips tasted blood
I sang your name
Till my throat turned silent
Now I mouth the words
To a door that never unlocks
[Chorus]
What have I done
For your love
For your love
Hands held high
To an empty sky above
If you won't speak
Then why won't you let me go
What have I done
For your love I’ll never know
[Verse 2]
I tore out pages
From the book I memorized
Built a fire
Just to see if you’d arrive
Stared at the flames
Till my faith went blind
Still I search your face
In the smoke that leaves me behind
[Chorus]
What have I done
For your love
For your love
Hands held high
To an empty sky above
If you won't speak
Then why won't you let me go
What have I done
For your love I’ll never know
[Bridge]
Are you there
Or am I talking to the dark? (answer me)
All these prayers
Sound like cracking glass and barked remarks
I’m so tired
Of defending what I can’t feel
If you’re love
Why do I bleed just to believe you’re real?
[Chorus]
What have I done
For your love
For your love (do you see me?)
Knees worn down
On a floor that’s stained and rough
If you won't speak
Then why won’t you let me go
What have I done
For your love I’ll never know
[Outro]
I burned the map
But I still draw your initials in the ash
If this is faith
It’s a fault line
And I’m still standing on the crack

Emotional post-hardcore, male vocals on the edge of breaking. Start with clean, reverb-washed guitars and tight, roomy drums; verses stay fragile and close. Chorus opens with overdriven guitars, octave leads, gang-shouted backing vocals. Bridge hits a half-time crush, layered scream harmonies and abrupt stop, then a final, raw vocal line over a single ringing chord., post-hardcore, emotional
