**[Verse 1]**
Pills and pain, codeine in my veins,
Trust was a bridge, now it’s burnt to flames.
Eyes cold as ice, but the tears still remain,
You swore forever, now it’s all in vain.
I built my world around your silhouette,
Now I’m left with fragments of regret.
A knife in the back, but the blade’s still wet,
Heart’s in a casket, no chance for a vet.
**[Chorus]**
Pain, heartbreak, betrayal’s all I know,
Scars on my soul where the trust used to grow.
You turned my heaven to a place I can’t go,
Now I’m left with the seeds that you chose to sow.
**[Verse 2]**
Eyes bloodshot, tears won’t stop,
Every memory’s a hole in my clock.
I gave you my all, you gave me a plot—
A grave for the love that we fought to unlock.
Numb to the touch, but the ache’s still hot,
Whisper your name in the dark, no reply, no thought.
I’m trapped in the past, but the future’s a knot,
You played the long game, now my soul’s in a lock.
**[Chorus]**
Pain, heartbreak, betrayal’s all I know,
Scars on my soul where the trust used to grow.
You turned my heaven to a place I can’t go,
Now I’m left with the seeds that you chose to sow.
**[Verse 3]**
They say time heals, but the clock’s my enemy,
Every tick’s a reminder of how you left me.
I don’t pray for love, just a moment to breathe, .
But the ghost of your lies is the wind in the trees.
I’m king of the ashes, no throne, just debris,
A crown made of thorns where your lips used to tease.
Betrayal’s a shadow that clings to my knees,
I’m drowning in echoes of “baby, believe.”
**[Bridge]**
Maybe I’m cursed, maybe I’m built for the storm,
A soldier of sorrow, reborn in the form
Of a man who’s been broken, but still keeps it warm,
‘Cause pain’s just a teacher, and I’m still tryna learn.
**[Chorus]**
Pain, heartbreak, betrayal’s all I know,
Scars on my soul where the trust used to grow.
You turned my heaven to a place I can’t go,
Now I’m left with the seeds that you chose to sow.
**[Outro]**
So I’ll write my story in rhymes and in smoke,
Let the world know the heart that you broke.
A legacy of ache, but I’ll never revoke,
The love that I gave… *now it’s all I invoke*.

**Style Notes**:
- Delivered with Kevin Gates’ signature mix of gravelly introspection and melodic cadence.
- Use sparse, haunting beats (e.g., muted 808s, piano loops) to emphasize lyrical weight.
- Incorporate ad-libs like “*sigh*” or “*yeah*” to mirror Gates’ raw, live-wire emotion.
