We were circling like blades that never slowed A fragile orbit burning out of control I swore I knew the shape of what I’d need Then let it slip like blood I chose to bleed I carve away the things I beg to keep Built her an exit, handed her the key Now every room echoes her ghost instead A hollow pulse where something once had lived She left me ‘cause I made her Venom on my tongue I let spill Never thought that I could break her Now I lie in silence, deathly still Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh She left me ‘cause I made her Days flash by like headlights in the rain Blinding streaks that never ease the pain I tell myself I’m better off alone But every truth corrodes me to the bone Was it fear dressed up as something proud A quiet war I waged but said out loud Her side’s a void I’m terrified to face A cold imprint I cannot now replace She left me ‘cause I made her Venom on my tongue I let spill Never thought that I could break her Now I lie in silence, deathly still Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh She left me ‘cause I made her The night goes mute, no absolution sent I trace the wreck of every word I meant If I could fracture time, undo the thread Rewrite the ruin of the things I said Maybe one day she’ll erase my name Maybe I’ll forget the shape of blame Until then I carry what I’ve done A weight that speaks when everything is numb She left me ‘cause I made her Venom on my tongue I let spill Never thought that I could break her Now I lie in silence, deathly still Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh She left me ‘cause I made her We were circling like something bound to crash A fleeting spark I never thought would last Still learning how not to destroy what’s real She left me ‘cause I made her feel
