[Intro] Yeah… Funny how someone can love you, and still leave you with nothing but scars… [Verse 1] You said you needed “time to breathe,” but you took the air right out of me. Turned my chest into a battlefield, left me bleeding while you tried to heal. Now you’re crying like you’re shattered glass, say you’re broken from our broken past. But every tear that’s falling from your face is a drop from the storm that you made. [Pre-Chorus] And I tried— God, I tried to hold the pieces you kept dropping, but you cut me every time and never once said you were sorry. [Chorus] Why you gotta break me slow? Tell me that you love me just to let me go. You said you’re the one who’s losing control, but you pulled the trigger while your hands shook cold. Now you’re falling apart like you didn’t know— you can’t save a heart by tearing a soul. So why you gotta… why you gotta break me slow? [Verse 2] You call me in the middle of the night, voice cracking like a flickering light. Say you’re choking on the guilt you hide, I hear the chaos in your fragile mind. But every time I try to lift you up, you drown me deeper in the flood. How can I rescue someone who keeps dragging me down just to feel renewed? [Pre-Chorus] And I tried— Held your pain like it was mine, I kept absorbing. But you only loved the version of me that was breaking. [Chorus] Why you gotta break me slow? Tell me that you love me just to let me go. You said you’re the one who’s losing control, but you pulled the trigger while your hands shook cold. Now you’re falling apart like you didn’t know— you can’t save a heart by tearing a soul. So why you gotta… why you gotta break me slow? [Bridge] I hope you heal, but I won’t drown again for someone else’s tears. I’ll let you feel the weight of everything you made me carry all these years. If breaking me was how you learned to grow, then this is where I let you go… [Final Chorus] Why’d you have to break me slow? Drag me through the fire just to leave me cold. Said you were the one who’s losing control— but you were writing endings I was never told. Now you’re falling apart like you didn’t know— you can’t fix your heart by crushing someone’s soul. So why you gotta… why you gotta break me slow?
