[Verse 1]
Papers on the table, ink wet and black
She says I broke her spirit, and she won’t look back
I was just a man drowning in the weight of the fight
Life kept swinging harder, got quiet some nights
Depression ain’t a weapon, it was never meant to harm
But she turned every tear I cried into another false alarm
[Chorus]
She chose friends over vows
Over a little boy who called her mom in his sleep
No sorry, no “I’m sorry,” just a mirror full of pride
Narcissist in white dresses, watching love slowly die
I’m signing the papers, letting the old life go
But the nights still cave in where the hurt don’t show
[Verse 2]
She never owned a single crack she put in these walls
Zero empathy, zero effort when I’d fall
Wouldn’t work it out, wouldn’t bend, wouldn’t see
Just pointed every finger straight at me
I’m up at 5 a.m., gym lights cutting through the dark
Eating clean, new job, rebuilding this broken heart
Days I’m standing taller, nights I’m back on my knees
Fighting the same war that she refuses to believe
[Chorus]
She chose her friends over the vows she swore to keep
Over a little boy who called her mom in his sleep
No sorry, no “I’m sorry,” just a mirror full of pride
Narcissist in white dresses, watching love slowly die
I’m signing the papers, letting the old life go
But the nights still cave in where the hurt don’t show
[Bridge]
I ain’t the villain in her story, I was just a man
Trying to hold it together with two shaking hands
She broke the promises she made to him and me
But I’m still here showing up for the family
One more rep, one more breath, one more sunrise I’ll chase
Even when the darkness whispers her name in my face
[Final Chorus – softer, then building]
Yeah, she chose her friends… but I’m choosing me
For my son, for the man I’m still learning to be
The papers are signed, the chapter’s closing slow
But these nights I’m fighting back, and one day they’ll let go
[Outro – spoken over fading guitar]
She can blame me till the end…
I guess I really do Love you more…
