[Verse 1] I built you a home in the hollow of my ribs, Lit every room with the sound of your name. You were the calm in my unraveling storm, The silence I mistook for grace. I tore the sky just to let your light in, Traded my dreams for the weight of your hands. Every breath I owned, I gave away You never asked, but I still obeyed. [Pre-Chorus] And I thought love meant breaking, If it kept your heart from shaking. [Chorus] When I said I love you, You said thank you. And I felt the echo Collapse inside my chest. All that I carried Turned into dust, You were my reason But I was never enough. [Verse 2] You smiled like a ghost that knew my end, A mercy killing dressed as kindness. I bled my colors into your gray, But you never wanted to stay. I built a bridge from my bones to your shore, Watched it burn while you walked away. Every scar you left still hums your tune Love was the wound, and you were the blade. [Chorus] When I said I love you, You said thank you. And I swore the stars Flickered out that night. You held my soul Like borrowed light, And let it fade When morning arrived. [Bridge / Instrumental Break] [Guitar swells, distant echoes, fading drums] I gave you my fire, You taught me to drown. You loved the way I rose But never how I fell down. [Final Chorus / Outro] When I said I love you, You said thank you. Now silence wears your name, And I’m learning how to fade. I gave it all, I gave it true And all I got… was thank you.
