(Intro – basse seule, voix basse, râpeuse) You said you needed air. Guess that’s what it feels like when someone pulls your lungs out. [Verse 1 – rhythmic, fast, emotional flow] You came like thunder in my veins, barefoot storm, I forgot the pain. You laughed at heaven, spat at fate, you said, “If life’s a cage, I’ll break the gate.” I followed you through smoke and bars, neon nights, half-empty jars. You taught me love was meant to burn, then watched the fire take its turn. Every word you dropped was gasoline, every kiss a war machine. You said, “I just need something real,” and left me bleeding on the wheel. [Pre-Chorus – whispered, tight, venomous] You were never mine to keep — just a ghost I held in heat. [Chorus – screamed] SAO! YOU LEFT ME IN YOUR RUSH! TURNED MY HEART INTO DUST! ALL THAT’S LEFT IS WHAT YOU BROKE — A SMILE AND A CHOKE! SAO! YOU TOOK THE FIRE AND RAN! NOW I’M JUST HALF A MAN! [Verse 2 – faster, breathy, almost spoken-word rap] You wanted thrill, not shelter walls, you danced on edges, dared the falls. We carved our names in bathroom doors, smoked our sins on subway floors. You said you loved me when it hurt, I said I loved you when it burned. You never slept, you never cried, just watched the dawn and called it mine. You stole my lighter, left your ghost, I toast your name and drink the most. Now every crowd, every song, every stage, is a prayer to the pain you gave. I still see your eyes in every flame, and I still whisper your damn name. [Pre-Chorus – whispered again, darker] I still hear you hum in static dreams, I still taste the gasoline. [Chorus – screamed, voice cracking] SAO! YOU LEFT ME IN YOUR RUSH! TURNED MY HEART INTO DUST! ALL THAT’S LEFT IS WHAT YOU BROKE — A SMILE AND A CHOKE! SAO! YOU TOOK THE FIRE AND RAN! NOW I’M JUST HALF A MAN! [Bridge – clean, melodic, broken] If you ever think of me, don’t pray, I’m still burning where you lay. You wanted life, I wanted you — guess that’s the same thing too. [Final Chorus – full scream + echo] SAO! YOU LEFT ME IN YOUR RUSH! TURNED MY HEART INTO DUST! ALL THAT’S LEFT IS WHAT YOU BROKE — A SMILE AND A CHOKE! SAO! YOU TOOK THE FIRE AND RAN! NOW I’M JUST HALF A MAN! HALF A MAN… [Outro – whisper, guitars fading] You said you needed air. Now I can’t breathe.
