[Short Instrumental Intro - dramatic, tense, melodic build] [Verse 1 - controlled, intense, emotionally restrained] I gave you ground and called it trust, yet every boundary turned to rust. I learned your rules, you learned my doubts, and more and more our days broke into shouts. I kept the peace by choking back my words, and still fought every day with sharpened words. I stayed close, you kept me small, it was no shelter, just another wall. [Chorus 1 - powerful, emotional, anthemic] Find something to do that matters, find someone you matter to. A future worth living in, a future worth living for. Who is left for us to blame? When did love turn into a game? Keep on trading wounds for love, and still pretend I’m to blame. [Verse 2 - darker, forceful, bitter] I was taught how to wear the grin, to lose myself just to fit in. I traded self for place and praise, now I’m just a ghost of better days. What looked like freedom felt like strain, I learned to play for cash and fame. Any sense of purpose slipped away, while we kept moving, just the same. [Chorus 2 - bigger, heavier, more disillusioned] Find something to do that matters, find someone you matter to. A future worth living in, a future worth living for. Who is left for us to blame? When did living turn into the game? Keep on trading self for gain, and still pretend this isn’t loss. [Bridge - grave, dramatic, slowly rising] A life like this makes restless hearts, and restless hearts replay old parts. What hurt us once and was never healed is left to rot in the toxic field. [Break - half-time, heavy toms, sustained guitars, no release] [Final Chorus - full, soaring, heavy, unresolved] Find something to do that matters, find someone you matter to. A future worth living in, a future worth living for. Who is left for us to blame? When did everything become the game? Keep on trading souls for fame, and still pretend this isn’t the end.
