Lyrics
[Intro]
I carved your name
Into years I lost
Blood on the calendar
Heart at a cost
[Verse 1]
I held my breath
Every time your shadow passed my door
Built you a throne
Out of bones I dragged across the floor
You called it kindness
I called it war
You never asked
What I was bleeding for
[Chorus]
But I'm done setting myself on fire
Just to keep your winter warm
I'm done calling storms a blessing
Every time you came and tore me apart
I gave you all my veins
You never learned my name
Now I’m walking from the flames
With empty hands and a quiet heart
[Verse 2]
You loved the story
Where I stayed and you were always right
I loved a ghost
That never learned to see me in the light
I wore your silence
Like barbed wire wrapped around my chest
Tried to be perfect
You were never impressed
[Pre-Chorus]
So I lay these memories down
Like flowers on a grave
I thought was us
But it was only me
Digging deeper
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m done setting myself on fire
Just to keep your winter warm
I’m done calling storms a blessing
Every time you came and tore me apart
I gave you all my veins
You never learned my name
Now I’m walking from the flames
With empty hands and a quiet heart
[Bridge]
You’re not my poison (anymore)
You’re not my purpose (anymore)
I was the one
Holding the knife against my own throat
You’re just a chapter (nothing more)
And I’m the author (closing doors)
I found a mercy
You could never give
[Heavy Break]
(I won’t break, I won’t break)
I was never yours to save
(I won’t break, I won’t break)
I crawl out of the shallow grave
You made in me
[Instrumental]
[soaring
Harmonized guitar solo over half-time groove]
[Final Chorus]
Now I’m done setting myself on fire
Just to keep your winter warm
I’m done begging wounds to love me
Every time you came and tore me apart
I gave you all my veins
Now I reclaim my name
I’m still glowing from the flames
With steady hands and a quiet heart
[Outro]
Ashes on my skin
But the air is clear
I finally love the face
In the mirror standing here (oh)
