Intro Saw the hit coming. Didn’t even blink. Verse 1 You lined it up thinking this one would break me, Thought I’d flinch, thought I’d fold, thought you’d shake me. I’ve been hit before, I already know the pattern, You swing like it matters, I don’t even feel the pressure. I see the wind-up, I already know the ending, You’re still in the moment, I’m already past the sentence. You wanted a reaction, wanted me to show it— I stayed cold, stayed quiet, didn’t even let you know it. Pre-Chorus Go on, take the shot, I already know the end. Nothing you got Gets to break this again. Chorus This is hallowed ground, You already lost. I took the hit, turned around, Didn’t even count the cost. No flinch, no sound, Nothing makes it across. This is hallowed ground— And you already lost. Verse 2 I’ve taken worse and walked away still breathing, Learned the hard way what is and isn’t worth keeping. You keep swinging like the past still has a hold, But I cut that connection, left it out in the cold. Every near miss only made the edge sharper, Every old wound turned to something harder. You want the version that would crumble when it landed— That version’s gone. She never would’ve stood this planted. Pre-Chorus Go on, take the shot, I already know the end. Nothing you got Gets to break this again. Chorus This is hallowed ground, You already lost. I took the hit, turned around, Didn’t even count the cost. No flinch, no sound, Nothing makes it across. This is hallowed ground— And you already lost. Bridge I don’t need to raise my voice to make the point clear, Confidence don’t shout when it already lives here. Keep telling the story where I’m the one who shattered, I’ll be right here intact while all of that just scatters. Call it cold, call it empty, call it what you want to— I call it knowing exactly what I will and won’t do. Final Chorus This is hallowed ground, You already lost. I took the hit, turned around, Didn’t even count the cost. No flinch, no sound, Nothing makes it across. This is hallowed ground— And you already lost. Outro Still standing. Nothing makes it across. Hallowed ground.
