[Intro – Immediate Fast Tremolo-Picked Guitar Hook, Aggressive Double-Kick Drums, Melodic Bass] [Instrumental – Urgent Blackgaze Guitar Melody, Swirling Distortion, Haunting Violin] [Verse 1 – Bitter Clean Female Vocals, Driving Guitars] We were there when it began We both endured the pain But I became the thing you saw Whenever it came back again You couldn’t stand the memories You couldn’t bear the past So you cut me from the picture And hoped the peace would last [Instrumental Response – Sharp Melodic Guitar, Restless Violin] [Pre-Chorus – Rising Tremolo Guitars, Increasing Vocal Intensity] I know that you were hurting I was hurting with you too But why was I the one Who had to lose the only one who knew? [Chorus – Explosive Melodic Blackgaze, Soaring Clean Female Vocals] I didn’t do this to you I wasn’t why you fell But you needed someone gone And I was someone you knew well [Instrumental Response – Sweeping Guitar Hook, Passionate Violin] You got to call it healing I got to call it loss You walked away from everything And left me with the cost [Instrumental – Fast Tremolo Guitars, Thunderous Drums, Melodic Violin Counterpoint] [Verse 2 – Resentful Female Vocals, Restless Shoegaze Guitars] I spent so long defending you Explaining why you left As though your suffering excused The promises you kept I tried to hate the memories To make the leaving fair But every time I blamed myself I knew I shouldn’t dare [Instrumental Response – Distorted Guitar Melody, Expressive Violin] [Pre-Chorus – Driving Bass, Rising Distortion] I wish that I could hate you And never wonder why You found a way to save yourself By leaving me behind [Chorus – Full Atmospheric Blackgaze, Powerful Clean Melodic Vocals] I didn’t do this to you I wasn’t why you fell But you needed someone gone And I was someone you knew well [Instrumental Response – Sweeping Guitar Hook, Passionate Violin] You got to call it healing I got to call it loss You walked away from everything And left me with the cost [Instrumental – Extended Intense Post-Rock Crescendo, Fast Tremolo Guitar Solo, Passionate Violin, Relentless Double-Kick Drums] [Bridge – Sudden Quiet, Exposed Bass, Vulnerable Clean Female Vocals] Sometimes I tell myself You never meant to hurt me That none of this was personal And you were trying to be free It’s easier to believe That something went astray Than know we lived through it together And you still chose to walk away [Instrumental Build – Rising Tremolo Guitars, Distorted Violin, Accelerating Drums] [Final Chorus – Cathartic Blackgaze Wall of Sound, Anguished Clean Female Vocals] I didn’t do this to you I wasn’t why you fell But you needed someone gone And I was someone you knew well You got to call it healing I got to call it loss You walked away from everything And left me with the cost [Outro – Melancholic Guitar, Restrained Acoustic Violin, Exhausted Vocals] I know that you were hurting I know you needed space But I was never guilty Of the things we had to face [Instrumental Ending – Returning Blackgaze Guitar Hook, Soaring Violin, Massive Distorted Crescendo, Final Sustained Chord] [End]
