Lyrics

I was there when your world felt thin
Held the weight of the life you lived in
Kept it warm while you froze me out
Fed your tribe while you checked out
Watched you crumble, watched you rage
Watched you trapped in your self-built cage
I stayed loyal while you played pretend
You loved the help, never loved the friend
I poured out grace and you sucked it dry
Taking every drop and I never asked why
You have a mask for every crowd you chase
Switching who you are just to match the room's taste
Talking trash behind all their backs
You drip venom behind your act
You call it connection but you pulled my strings
Turned love into leverage and a heart into wreckage
You kept me close
Like a backup plan
But when I needed you
You turned and ran
You only keep people
When they're bleeding for you
Left me drowning in the dark
While you rewrote the truth
I'm cutting out the ghost you made, your voice is static anyway
You can choke on all the games you play, I'm burning every memory
Loyal to your own reflection
Hiding behind deflection
Self love turned to self deception
Every word a misdirection
I held you up
You let me crash
You burned the bridge
Then blamed the ash
Traced the failure back to the root you hid
All your sweet little fictions, all the damage you did
Drug my name through the dirt then called it space
Talked behind my back then smile at my face
Loaded every moment with guilt and blame
But you never owned your own shame
You used my kindness like a tool on call
Took my strength, you drained it all
You loved my weakness
More than my strength
And I stretched myself thin
Just to hold your weight
I tried keeping peace, you performed a war
I stayed steady, you were the storm
Your world left you - I stayed by your side
You used my heart as fuel for your pride
You only felt close when you had control
But you don't get to hold my soul
I carried your world
You let mine fall
I was there for you
You weren't there at all
Said you'd show up but you never did
You turned silence into punishment
You drain the ones that love you
Then you put them on a shelf
What would it look like to love anyone but yourself
You love the chaos cause it makes you feel strong
But you blame everyone else when it all goes wrong
Loyal to your own reflection
Hiding behind deflection
Self love turned to self deception
Every word a misdirection
I held you up
You let me crash
You burned the bridge
Then blamed the ash
I loved you like my blood but you drained me dry
You wanted a puppet, not a true ally
You wore my loyalty like a prize you won
You kept me in the shadows while you shone in the sun
You craved my devotion but you hated my needs
You called it friendship but it fed your greed
I was the realest thing in the world you fake
Keep shining that reflection - it'll cut you when it breaks
Loyal to your own reflection
Hiding behind deflection
Self-love turned to self-deception
Every word a misdirection
I held you up
You let me crash
You burned the bridge
Then blamed the ash
I won't fold
I won't fall
You don't get my life at all
Your name's just noise
Your face is dust
I'm done mistaking fear for trust
