Verse 1 I gave you my time when I didn’t have none Stayed up all night just to be your someone Put all my faith in the words you said While you were laying doubts in my head (slight push on “none” and “said”) I carried your weight like it was mine Now I’m the one you left behind Pre-Chorus You took every piece I had to give… And left me with this emptiness I’m in… (let “give” and “in” vibrato and slightly crack) Chorus I gave you everything… Every ounce of love I had in me (push “everything” let it strain slightly) And you just let it fall apart Like it never meant a thing (grit on “fall apart”) Now I’m standing in the dark With your echo in my chest And I swear I gave my all… But you took what I had left (long hold on “left” let vibrato widen) Verse 2 You had my name on your lips like truth But you were lying like you always do I see it clearer now looking back All the love I gave, you never gave back (lean into attitude here) Pre-Chorus I tried to be the man you needed most… But you were already halfway gone… (stretch “most” and “gone”) Chorus I gave you everything… Every ounce of love I had in me And you just let it fall apart Like it never meant a thing Now I’m standing in the dark With your echo in my chest And I swear I gave my all… But you took what I had left Bridge (raw, almost breaking) Was it ever real… Or just something you could use… (strip it back almost whisper into grit) Did you ever feel… What I was going through… (let voice crack if it happens naturally) Final Chorus (big emotional release) I gave you everything… Yeah I gave you more than I could keep (strong push here) And you just watched it slip away Like it didn’t mean a thing Now I’m drowning in the truth That I gave you my best And I swear I gave my soul… But you took what I had left (FINAL NOTE: hold “left” long let vibrato fully open, even shake a little)
