Verse 1
You braided truth into your lullabies,
Soft hands that taught me how to close my eyes.
Promises like satellites — bright then gone,
Orbiting the space where I belonged.
You said forever in a whisper, then you burned the map,
Left fingerprints of comfort where the floor would snap.
I learned to raise my voice and then to hide,
Counting every bruise in secret like a crime.
Pre-Chorus
Look me in the eyes and tell me those lies,
Tell me you’ll be different, watch me memorize.
Promise me the world and give me dust,
Swear you’ll hold me steady, then I lose my trust.
Chorus
I step back from the edges of your kiss,
Fading out slowly, leaving me lonely in the abyss.
You said you’d save me, said I’d never fall,
But your halo was a mirror and it swallowed all.
You will be okay and so will I,
But if you call, know — I won't reply.
Verse 2
We danced through rooms of glass with borrowed light,
You lit my morning, stole the warmth by night.
Every compliment, a calculated art,
Every apology, a restart for your heart.
You praised my patience like it was a crown to wear,
Then pawned my kindness for an alibi and air.
I gave you seasons, you gave me a line,
Signed it with a smile that never learned to be kind.
Pre-Chorus
Look me in the eyes and sharpen your lies,
Lay them down like ribbons, watch me untie.
You promise constellations, hand me broken stars,
We built a little kingdom out of plaster and tar.
Chorus
I step back from the edges of your kiss,
Fading out slowly, leaving me lonely in the abyss.
You said you’d save me, said I’d never fall,
But your halo was a mirror and it swallowed all.
You will be okay and so will I,
But if you call, know — I won't reply.
Bridge
There’s a quiet like a verdict in the air,
I breathe it like a verdict, find myself repaired.
I touch the scar where you carved out my name,
It’s map now, not a sentence — I don’t need your blame.
The night rearranges shadows into truth,
I taste the bitter cure and learn to choose.
Break / Spoken (optional)
You promised me the whole world, folded it into your pocket.
You loved me like a secret and left me like a socket.
I learned the shape of freeing — it’s not loud, it’s thin.
It’s stepping out of orbit and letting daylight in.
Chorus — Final (with variation)
I step back from the edges of your kiss,
Fading out slowly, leaving me lonely in the abyss.
You said you’d save me, said I’d never fall,
But your halo was a mirror and it swallowed all.
You will be okay and so will I,
But if you call, know — I won't reply.
No, if you call, know — I won't reply.
Outro
I walk a little steadier, leaving echoes on the floor,
The door closes softer than the hurts you kept before.
I’ll build a brighter gravity, learn how not to drift,
I loved you like a lesson — now I’m done with your myths.
