UNTIL THERE'S NOTHING LEFT

Emo alternative rock / post-hardcore, slow 82 BPM minor-key pulse; clean electric guitar and soft piano opening, building into featured lead guitar, huge distorted guitars and crashing drums; raw, vulnerable male vocal grows from exhausted intimacy to desperate, raspy soaring final chorus; intimate verses, gradual dynamic rise, stripped-down quiet outro

[Verse 1] I fixed every crack with pieces of me Held up the walls while you watched me bleed Every time you fell, I paid the price Gave you my days, gave you my life You never asked if I could still stand Just reached again with an open hand No “thank you,” no “are you alright?” Just another thing I had to make right [Pre-Chorus] I thought love meant never letting go But how much of me do I still owe? [Chorus] So take what’s left Take every piece I gave you everything You still wanted more from me I kept you breathing While I learned to drown I built you back up While you tore me down And somehow I’m the enemy After everything I’ve done I tried to save everyone Until there was nothing left of me [Verse 2] I called it love, you called it my role Like I was born just to carry it all Every sacrifice became expected Every wound I hid went undetected And maybe nothing I give will be enough Maybe you never saw any of it as love You only noticed when I finally stopped Never the years I gave everything I got [Bridge] I don’t need you to repay me I just wanted you to see There was a person behind the giving There was a heart inside of me [Final Chorus] So keep what I gave But you can’t have the rest I’ve already emptied Everything from my chest I wanted to save us I wanted it to work But love shouldn’t mean Deciding who gets hurt I was never your enemy I was the one who stayed But I can’t keep giving my life Just to prove that I cared [Outro] I tried to save everyone... Now I have to save what’s left of me.
