Lyrics

I learned early, attachment is a liability,
Every promise just a dressed-up instability
You call it "love," I call it temporary need,
A transaction dressed in words you barely mean
I was naïve enough to let it get inside,
Let you trace your fingerprints across my mind
Now I scrub you out like stains I won't repeat
I don't keep reminders of defeat
I don't miss you, I miss who I was before,
Before I started keeping score
I don't give a fuck about your presence now,
I got real comfortable with no one around
Silence doesn't lie, it doesn't leave,
It doesn't make a promise it won't keep
Call me distant, I prefer it that way,
No one left with the power to betray
And at the end of every night, no fantasy
I'm alone because I choose to be
Lost friends? No, I shed excess weight,
Dead conversations I refused to resuscitate
If you faded, you were meant to disappear,
I don't mourn what was never really here
Love was just a lesson in disguise,
A slow erosion I mistook for something kind
Now I'd rather sit in solitude and breathe
Than entertain another mouth that feeds
I don't crave connection, I outgrew the need,
People only love you till you make them bleed
I don't give a fuck about your sympathy,
Keep your hollow, half-formed empathy
I've seen how quickly loyalty dissolves,
How fast "forever" turns to "not at all"
Call me heartless, say I'm hard to reach
At least I practice what I preach
And at the end of every night, no fantasy
I'm alone because I trust in me
I am not a home for passing hands,
Not a phase you barely understand
I don't open doors I had to rebuild
I don't soften just to fit your will
You think it's lonely? I think it's control,
Every piece of me is finally whole
No more waiting on somebody else to stay
I don't need them anyway
People leave.
People lie.
People take… and call it "life."
I don't.
I don't give a fuck if you remember me,
I'm not built on your memory
I erased every version that needed you
Now there's nothing left you can undo
Call it empty, call it peace, call it truth
I found clarity in cutting loose
And at the end of every night, no fantasy
I'm alone…
Because I chose to be.
No echoes.
No ghosts.
No one left to deceive me.
Just me
Exactly how I need to be.
