Verse 1 I mistook the hunger in your eyes for pain So I fed it I mistook your silence for depth So I trusted it You learned my patterns, wore my skin Learned my kindness like a weapon Every good thing I gave you Taught you exactly where to cut You didn’t want my place You wanted my absence Didn’t want my fall You wanted my erasure You watched me build with clean hands And planned the collapse with patience Pre-Chorus You don’t rage—you corrode You don’t scream—you infect You don’t fight—you decay Until nothing’s left Chorus I gave you light You learned how to snuff it out I gave you trust You turned it into a mouth That ate my name Ate my work Ate my worth You tried to end me slow So no one saw the hurt I was kind to the thing That wanted me dead And now I hear your voice In the ruins you left Verse 2 You poisoned rooms before I entered So I’d already be guilty You called it concern You called it honesty You called it love But love doesn’t stalk And loyalty doesn’t sharpen knives You didn’t want me exposed You wanted me unrecognizable You fed people lies Like they were facts Watched them nod While my future cracked You smiled while they doubted me Like God watching a flood I fucking trusted you Treated your bitch ass like gold Just for you to treat me like trash. Pre-Chorus You don’t feel shame You feel entitled You don’t regret You rewrite And when I didn’t collapse for you You tried harder to make it right Chorus I gave you light You learned how to snuff it out I gave you trust You turned it into a mouth That ate my name Ate my work Ate my worth You tried to end me slow So no one saw the hurt I was kind to the thing That wanted me dead Now your fingerprints are burned Into everything you said Breakdown (low, crushing) You didn’t want friendship You wanted access You didn’t want love You wanted leverage You didn’t hate me You needed me broken So you could feel whole For five fucking seconds Breakdown (slam) STARVE THE FUCKING LEECH LET IT FUCKING ROT Verse 3 Now you haunt the edges Of the life you tried to take Watching me exist Is your unfinished mistake I don’t speak your name I don’t curse your breath You live longer this way— Trapped in what you left You’ll tell your version forever Polish it, keep it alive But the truth doesn’t scream It survives Final Chorus I gave you light And it burned you alive I gave you kindness And it showed your insides You tried to kill me quietly Professionally Personally But all you really did Was prove what you’ll always be I wasn’t your friend I was your mirror And you tried to shatter me So you wouldn’t have to see Outro (whispered / fading) I fed the thing that hated me Until it showed its teeth Now it starves In my absence And calls that defeat.
