Verse 1
My head is splitting clean in two
Hungover from the tears I poured for you
I wish this mind came with a switch
To shut it off, forget all this
My chest is burning, slow and deep
A sickness I don't want to keep
If pain could spread like something cruel
I'd let it find its way to you
Pre-Chorus
You lit the fire, then turned away
Left me to smolder in the flame
Chorus
You took my heart, then watched it break
You stood so still, while I erased
Cold hands, warm lies—you knew the game
And played it like you felt no shame
Now every breath just pulls me through
This aftertaste of loving you
Verse 2
You let me fall without a sound
Love shouldn’t feel like being drowned
You sparked a light, then left me blind
Now I see ghosts you left behind
I begged the dark to take your face
But memory won’t give me space
And silence screams the loudest truth
You were the worst kind of proof
Pre-Chorus
You set the match, then let me burn
No second glance, no slow return
Chorus
You took my heart, then watched it break
You stood so still, while I erased
Cold hands, warm lies—you knew the game
And played it like you felt no shame
Now every breath just pulls me through
This aftertaste of loving you
Bridge
Do you sleep with guilt or pride?
Does your chest feel dead inside?
I hope the smoke still clings to you
Like it does every night I do
Final Chorus
You took my heart, then walked away
Left love in ruins, left me to pay
I still wake up black and blue
Stuck in the shadow of your truth
You left a scar that never moves
An aftertaste I can't undo
