Lyrics

I remember nights I would stay awake
Learning to close the wounds you'd make
Hands or whatever you could find nearby
Didn't matter much, it was do or die
I learned real quick how to hide my face
How to disappear, how to leave no trace
Count the seconds till the silence came
Then pray tomorrow wouldn't look the same
Mama in the next room, voice cut thin
Like she's fighting something she can't win
I would sit there frozen on the floor
Knowing I had heard it all before
Every time the house went quiet
That's when it felt the loudest
Every scar you left behind
Still echoes when I doubt it
You don't get to say you were there for me
When I learned to bleed in your company
I was just a kid, I was on my own
In a house that never felt like home
And I don't need your name in my life again
Don't need closure, don't need to pretend
You walked out long before you left
All you ever gave me was what I still regret
I remember standing in the door that night
Tryna make sense of wrong and right
You were yelling like the world caved in
She was breaking down, you were breaking skin
I thought about stepping in between
But I was scared of what that might mean
So I stayed stuck, yeah I stayed small
Like maybe I could disappear from it all
Then the sirens came, then the silence stayed
Then the life we had just slipped away
Boxes packed and the papers signed
But you don't erase what's in your mind
Now every room feels different
But nothing really changed
You don't leave a past like that
You just learn to hold the weight
You don't get to say you were there for me
When I learned to bleed in your company
I was just a kid, I was on my own
In a house that never felt like home
And I don't need your name in my life again
Don't need closure, don't need to pretend
You walked out long before you left
All you ever gave me was what I still regret
I stopped waiting for you to change
Stopped thinking you'd say my name
Like it meant something different
Like it didn't come with pain
I grew up in the space you left
I don't flinch like I used to now
I don't live with my head bowed down
All that fear you put in me
Ain't got power like it used to be
I've been carrying every scar you made
Not as weakness—but a debt you paid
Every mark is a line I drew
Between who I am and what was you
And I won't carry your name with mine
Won't let it live past this line
The only thing that's left of you
Is the proof I made it through
