Use To Be You

Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/e7ea0cc0-b414-4d10-a21d-959dca537f68 I traced the blueprint of the house we swore to frame, Carved deep into the timber was your name. I gave you every single brick inside my chest, Believing in the fortress where our love could rest. Now the drywall’s cracking and the ceiling's caved, Look at all the heavy debts I blindly saved. You walk right past the rubble like we never tried, A stranger wearing garments that I tailor-made inside. Oh, I built a kingdom out of empty air, And crowned a phantom sitting in your vacant chair. I search the ruins for the soul I thought I knew, 'Cause the man beside me doesn't look like you. No, the man beside me doesn't, he use to be you. You remember laughing underneath the concrete beams, Before you sold the salvage of our shared-out dreams. You traded every promise for a lighter load, And left me freezing on the shoulders of the road. You kept the keys to every door we forced to open, While I am left to gather up the words we've broken. I see your face, but it's a mask upon a ghost, You're a stranger to the woman who adored you most. Oh, I built a kingdom out of empty air, And crowned a phantom sitting in your vacant chair. I search the ruins for the soul I thought I knew, 'Cause the man beside me doesn't look like you. No, the man beside me doesn't, he use to be you. You took the scaffolding, you took the floor, You nailed the wood across our bedroom door! How can you look at me with eyes so cold, When my entire history is what you sold? I am the architect of all your grace, And now I'm drowning in an empty space! You are a stranger! You are a thief! You left a monument of my grief! The foundation is gone. There's nothing left to save. You're not the man... You're just the grave.
