Half the wife

Title: “Half the Wife (Burnin’ Truth)”

(Hard Rock Version – Final Edit)

You wanna blame me?

Start with the mirror.

I’ve been accused, but I’ve been bruised,

Emotionally wrecked and straight-up used.

You say I’m distant—well maybe I am,

You turned this love into a traffic jam.

You crave control, but you gave no grace,

Just ice-cold eyes and a stone-cold face.

Where’s the fire that used to glow?

Now it’s buried deep beneath the snow.

You want a hug? Try givin’ one back—

Not just silence and a heart that’s cracked.

You were half the wife, I was always your man,

Now I’m breakin’ free—'cause I see the truth, you’re no longer the light.

When’s the last time you reached for my hand?

Not to take—just to understand?

I gave you strength through every trial,

But all I got was your bitter smile.

You talk like I’ve been livin’ wild,

But I’ve been drowning—unseen, exiled.

Where’s the fire that used to glow?

Now it’s buried deep beneath the snow.

You want a hug? Try givin’ one back—

Not just silence and a heart that’s cracked.

You were half the wife, I was always your man,

Now I’m breakin’ free—'cause I see the truth, you’re no longer the light.

Hospitals, pain, and empty nights,

Still, I gave you every fight I had inside.

You want the money? You want the grind?

But don’t expect what you won’t provide.

You took my kindness for a flaw,

Tried to break me with your law.

Where’s the fire that used to glow?

Now it’s buried deep beneath the snow.

You want a hug? Try givin’ one back—

Not just silence and a heart that’s cracked.

You were half the wife, I was always your man,

Now I’m breakin’ free—'cause I see the truth, you’re no longer the light.

I ain’t your villain, I’m the storm you woke,

Tired of bendin’, tired of broke.

You fed off guilt, you thrived on fear,

But baby, I ain’t standin’ here.

Lit the fuse, and it’s burnin’ fast,

Done with beggin’, done with the past.

You ruled the house with cold demand,

But I still stand with calloused hands.

Built by pain, wired for the fight,

And I won’t crawl into the night.

Where’s the fire that used to glow?

Now it’s buried deep beneath the snow.

You want a hug? Try givin’ one back—

Not just silence and a heart that’s cracked.

You were half the wife, I was always your man,

Now I’m breakin’ free—'cause I see the truth, you’re no longer the light.

This ain’t love, it’s a war I survived—

Walkin’ out strong, still alive.
