V4.5-ALL

Remember the days we used to sit and watch our favorite shows Lying on the couch for hours, wrapped up in your clothes Those were the times when everything felt safe But somewhere along the way, it all started to break Little fights about the dishes turned to nights you stayed out late All the secrets in your phone became the cracks in what we'd made Every promise that you whispered started tasting more like lies I could see the storm was coming hiding deep behind your eyes Baby, please tell me why, I tried to save you from yourself But when I needed you the most, you gave my love to someone else Please tell me why you left me there, alone and crying out for help I know I'm a man but even I can't always stand up by myself I remember the day it ended, staring numb at my phone Three days without your voice, you left me drowning on my own Typed "I guess it's over, I guess this is how it ends" Fell asleep with swollen eyes, losing my lover and my friend But I guess that's how it works, you build your walls up tall and strong Never let them fully in, or they'll twist you till you're wrong Then my phone lit up at midnight, your name glowing in the dark For a second I believed you'd changed, that you'd finally found your heart I played the message, and what did I hear? You cursed my name and used that blade to drag me back in fear Said you'd leave this world for good if I dared to walk away How am I supposed to breathe with that hanging over every day? How do I decide which pain is really right Your life in my hands or my soul burning every night? That's when I knew I had to let you go Turned the phone to silent and watched the screen glow Shut it all down, every memory, every thought Walked out of your storm with the little strength I'd got.
