[Verse 1]
I was sent down just to stain you
Claws out, teeth sharp, I was made to unmake you
Red mark on your name in my ledger
Hell’s breath on my neck say “go on, go get her”
Found you prayin’ with the lights low
Halo in your hands, bare feet on the cold floor
You looked up, didn’t even flinch once
Stared straight through the horns like you’d seen worse…….
[Pre-Chorus]
Every word out your mouth felt like salt in my wounds
Didn’t burn like I’m used to, it cleaned what I’d ruined
I kept reachin’ for the strings I was told to pull first
But every touch from your hands made me doubt what I’m worth
[Chorus]
I was sent to break you
But You’re the one that broke my curse
Pulled me from the edge I was draggin’ you to
Left my demons in the dirt
Had your fingers on my throat
Thought you’d choke on all this hurt
I was sent to break you
But You’re the one that broke my curse……….
[Verse 2]
I tried whisperin’ you out of your faith
Told you nobody listens when you’re cryin’ this late
You just smiled, said “you’re louder than the lies in my head
If you’re here for my soul, why you shakin’ instead?”
You traced every scar on my chest like a scripture
Read my sins out soft, turned my shame into pictures
Said “they named you a monster, but your eyes say you’re tired
How long you been livin’ on the wrong side of the fire?”
[Pre-Chorus]
You kept talkin’ like the sky’d never fall on your dreams
Like my claws couldn’t cut through the threads of your peace
I was reachin’ for the chains I was told to reverse
But every time you said my name, it unbraided the hurt
[Chorus]
I was sent to break you
But You’re the one that broke my curse
Pulled me from the edge I was draggin’ you to
Left my demons in the dirt
Had your fingers on my throat
Thought you’d choke on all this hurt
I was sent to break you
But You’re the one that broke my curse……
[Bridge]
Now hell’s at the door tryna call me back home
Got their hands on the leash, say “you’re not yours, you’re ours alone”
But you stand in the frame with your hand on my chest
Say “if they want what they made, they can walk through me next”
I got fire in my blood, but it’s changin’ its shape
All the smoke in my lungs spellin’ out your name
If I crawl out this pit, if I tear off these chains
Know it’s you, not the heavens, draggin’ me out of the flames…..
[Final Chorus]
I was sent to break you
But You’re the one that broke my curse
Turned the orders in my veins into ashes and dirt
Now I’m clingin’ to your words
With my knees on your floor
Beggin’ “don’t let me revert”
I was sent to break you
You’re the one that broke my curse
Yeah, I was sent to break you
Now I’m terrified of life without you………
