[Intro – Whispered, fragile piano] I used to think the truth was enough That broken things could still be fixed with love I brought them proof, I gave them names They buried both beneath the blame [Verse 1 – Intimate, restrained] My father had a voice they couldn't buy So they taught the whole damn city how to lie My mother faded waiting for a cure Behind the doors that money could secure I learned to beg, I learned to plead I learned how little mercy people need And when they came to take the rest from me They left behind what they were scared to see [Pre-Chorus – Building tension] I knocked until my knuckles bled You locked the doors and called me sick You wrote your story, made me fit Then lit the match and blamed the wick [Chorus – Explosive, soaring, furious] Look at the things you made! The girl you buried in your lies The fire dancing in her eyes You built the walls, you forged the chains Now scream my name and curse the flames Look at the things you made! I gave you every chance to change You gave me nothing but a grave And if the whole damn kingdom breaks Don't blame the fire for the things you made [Verse 2 – Driving bass, cold and confident] I know the streets you never walk at night The hungry mouths you keep outside your light They know my face, they know my name They know exactly who deserves the blame I steal your gold and buy their bread I sleep beside the ones you left for dead You call it terror when your towers fall But never when you let the children crawl [Pre-Chorus – Sharper, more aggressive] You made a weapon out of grief And pointed it toward your throne Now every secret underneath Is something I can call my own [Chorus – Full power] Look at the things you made! The girl you buried in your lies The fire dancing in her eyes You built the walls, you forged the chains Now scream my name and curse the flames Look at the things you made! I gave you every chance to change You gave me nothing but a grave And if the whole damn kingdom breaks Don't blame the fire for the things you made [Bridge – Music collapses to piano, nearly whispered] Sometimes I dream we're still at home The kitchen light is warm and low And someone's laughing down the hall Before the night that took it all I almost hear him call my name Before the morning steals his face And for a moment I am small And I don't hate the world at all [Silence] [Spoken, trembling] I would have let you live. [Pause] You should have let us. [Final Chorus – Devastating, full instrumentation, raw vocals] LOOK AT THE THINGS YOU MADE! You took the girl who wanted peace And taught her how to bare her teeth You built your heaven on our pain Now watch it drown beneath the rain LOOK AT THE THINGS YOU MADE! I won't pretend my hands are clean Or that I'm who I used to be But when your perfect kingdom breaks Remember who you chose to blame [Outro – Instruments fall away, solitary piano] I used to think the truth was enough I used to think that I could still be loved [Whispered] Look at the things you made.
