[Verse 1]
I buried that kid in the rain
Mud on his shirt, mud on his name
Friends turned ghost, left me to freeze
Family hands made a cage out of me
I learned real quick what pain can teach
How to stay numb, how to never reach
Smiles got stolen, trust got burned
Now I walk like the last one hurt
I kept the ache in a locked-up chest
Kept the tears where the dead things rest
Every "I got you" turned into smoke
So I cut that rope, then I cut that hope
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't call my phone
Don't say you care
You fed me scars
Then left me there
[Chorus]
I buried my old skin
Buried it deep
Buried that soft heart
Beneath me
I don't love back
I don't break free
You made a grave of me
You made a grave of me
[Verse 2]
Now I'm cold when I look at your face
Not for the thrill, just self-defense
You want forgiveness, you want my time
But you don't know what you did inside
I saw my mother in every scream
I saw my father in broken dreams
I saw my friends in a slammed shut door
So I don't reach out anymore
If I get close, I turn to stone
If I get hurt, I do it alone
I got no softness left to give
I killed that part so I could live
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't call my phone
Don't say you care
You fed me scars
Then left me there
[Chorus]
I buried my old skin
Buried it deep
Buried that soft heart
Beneath me
I don't love back
I don't break free
You made a grave of me
You made a grave of me
[Bridge]
If you knew the cost
You'd hear me say
I didn't become this
I got made this way
No more hands in my chest
No more names to defend
What you broke in me
Don't come back again
[Chorus]
I buried my old skin
Buried it deep
Buried that soft heart
Beneath me
I don't love back
I don't break free
You made a grave of me
You made a grave of me
