Lay me down beneath fluorescent light Cold still humming through the quiet night

Scalpel traces every place you touch Looking for the boy to love too much

Tag my heart with an evidence chain Every bruise still answers to your name

The cause of death wasn't one goodbye It was dying slowly while trying to stay alive

Every incision tells the same old story Every scar still swears I wasn't crazy

You looked for proof in every empty screen But never looked into the eyes that bled for you

So let's lay it on the table, call the corner, read it slow

Tell the room exactly where you left me Every wound you chose not to know

You call me fiction while I carry forever Turned every promise into smoke so you could breathe better

Now you're telling my girl I'm a gum So your conscience stays thin

While I'm learning how to live With the ghost you left under my skin

You measure truth in search results As if Google knew my pulse

I lived an hour down the road You never crossed and never showed

I crossed oceans with my hands wide open You crossed me out before we spoken

You never needed facts to break my name Just enough doubt to feed the flame

Every room still echoes your children laughing I built futures inside those afternoons

Now that museum piece is in my mind Dust collecting where hope used to bloom

Funny how the knife stays clean When someone else is made to bleed

You walked away saying you were healing While I was learning how to breathe through grief

Let's lay it on the table, no anesthesia left to steal

Read the fractures like a witness statement Tell me which one's never healed

You said you never knew me, never me Like love can vanish with a sentence set free

Now you're telling my girl I'm a gum So your conscience stays thin

While I stitched together every place you buried me within

The autopsy found no monster No villain hiding underneath my skin

Just a man who kept believing Love would let him back in

They found exhaustion in the marrow Hope dissolved inside the vein

A spine bent under carry Someone else's shame

If honesty is fingerprints Mine are all over your life

If silence leaves DNA Yours is wrapped around every knot

So lay me on the table one last time Read the record line by line

Don't call this fate Don't call this time

And call it what it was A heart that kept choosing you

Long after it should've run And if they asked what finally killed him

Don't say distance, don't say time Say he spent years proving he was human

To someone who kept asking for another sign

Now I'm walking out with stitches Learning love doesn't have to feel this grim

You can keep rewriting history But you don't get to rewrite him

To rewrite him

To rewrite him
