[Pre-Intro] (barely audible, distant, almost buried under static and a slow heartbeat pulse)
…still breathing…
…still fucking breathing…
Soft static crackles, then a single cracked whisper right in your ear:
“You left the knife in.
I never pulled it out.”
[Intro]
Silent screams in the dead of night
Echoes of a forgotten fight
I want you to forget me, I want to forget you
We’re lost… we’re broken… in the truth
[Verse 1]
Looking back, the bruise still hums
Never got it right, just chewed the gun
No way out of this fucking shell
I was built to burn, not get well
[Pre-Chorus] (start building, voice cracking)
But I would die for you, bleed for you
Can you see my halo through the bruising?
Though it’s painful, I’m prepared to lose
Drowning in this dark… I choose
[Chorus – THE HOOK] (loud, raw, almost yelling on the last lines)
You used to be mine, now you’re gone
I’m lost in this void, all alone
Left to die, left a hole
Where my heart used to hold
I should hate you… I should hate you
But I still love, I still want to
[Verse 2] (add this if you want more length)
Every night I replay the cut
Your name still burns under my tongue
Tried to kill it, tried to run
But the pain just hums when the day is done
[Pre-Chorus]
But I would die for you, bleed for you
Can you see my halo through the bruising?
Though it’s painful, I’m prepared to lose
Drowning in this dark… I choose
[Chorus] (even bigger, more desperate)
You used to be mine, now you’re gone
I’m lost in this void, all alone
Left to die, left a hole
Where my heart used to hold
I should hate you… I should hate you
But I still love, I still want to
[Bridge] (almost spoken at first, then explode into screaming)
Locked inside my head, spinning the same old track
Just a fucked-up kid with a broken back
Your knife went deep… if you only knew
What you carved in me…
WHAT I’D STILL DO!
[Final Chorus / Outro] (screaming the last two lines, then drop to broken near-whisper)
You used to be mine, now you’re gone
I’m lost in this void, all alone
Left to die, left a hole
Where my heart used to hold
I should hate you…
But I still love…
I still want to…
Can you see my halo?
Even if it’s painful… I won’t let go.
