Lyrics

I stitched you out of quiet nights and half lit rooms
A false outline trembling in the gloom
You were gentle where the world had made me bruise
I painted all your edges soft so you'd never cut me too
I carved devotion out of every silent breath you gave
Reshaped the truth until it bent beneath the weight
You were the mercy I invented to survive myself
A refuge made of wishful thinking kept on the highest shelf
And I kept brushing over the fractures
Blurring every warning sign
You never asked to be my savior
I just needed someone to hold the lines
You were my brainchild
Born from the ruin I never dared to face
A miracle made from paper skin
And hand drawn grace
Every color ran when the daylight hit
You were never who I held at night
You were just the echo of the love I missed
The shape I built to keep me alive
I forged your kindness out of shadows on my walls
Turned your absence into poetry to justify it all
Every time reality betrayed the myth I'd made
I rewrote the memory
Made it bloom instead of fade
You were a hymn I whispered into empty rooms
A phantom stitched with tenderness to drown out the truth
The real you flickered in and out like faulty light
But the one I dreamed stood steady
Warm and bright
And I kept sanding down the splinters
shaping you to fit my hands
I kept worshipping the version of you
And suddenly, I see you clearly
And you're not the one I adored
I was kneeling to a memory
That never walked through my door
You were my brainchild
A fragile miracle I forced into the light
You dissolved the moment truth arrived
Left only stains across the white
And I didn't fall for you
I fell for the reflection I made you cast
A tender lie, a lonely muse
A dream that wasn't built to last
So I let the colors bleed away
Let the portrait curl and drift aside
All that's left is who you are
And I don't know that shape tonight
But the ghost of who I needed
Still lingers, soft and undefined
And I whisper to the fading ink
Goodbye, my brainchild
