[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1 | Clean tone | light grit | restrained, intimate delivery | slightly behind the beat, conversational phrasing.] You talk to me softly, Your pains fleeting, Truth caught in your teeth - your maimed honesty. I hear everything unsaid, Decaying sentences, Every time you freeze— I feel your cutting edges release, Stopped reaching, stopped seeing me—depleted feelings,... (You let go, let go,...let go of my heart,) Let go, let go, let go of me floating in endless dark. [Pre-Chorus 1 | Tension builds | vocal strain rising | instrumentation gradually opens.] Screaming—pleading—spiraling out in your full dark, Speaking soft while you pretend It’s true-our love’s finished— But why smile at the end? [Instrumental Break | 3-5 bars | dropping into Verse 2.] [Verse 2 | Increased aggression | tight palm-muted guitars | more forward, emotional vocal delivery.] How can you face grace so effortlessly? “It’s not you, it’s me”—bullshit labeling, That look on your face— How is this okay?! Now that we’re nothing. You’re still walking away,... Steady—after shovel-shattering what mattered (You let go, let go,... leaving me breathlessly strangled!) [Pre-Chorus 2 | Bigger repeat | subtle vocal layering | rising urgency.] Screaming, pleading, spiraling out in your full dark, Speaking soft while you pretend, It’s true - our love’s finished, But why smile at the end? [Pre-Chorus 3 | Percussion tightens | urgency spikes | near-breakdown intensity.] Give me a break, Take what you didn’t need, Pointless pieces, Rip them free, Rip them freely outta me! Fake sincerity—smiling,... Smiling while I bleed, Bleeding all over our season. [Chorus 1 | Full explosion | wide distorted guitars | layered shout backing | raw, shouted-sung delivery.] Just bend me, twist me, rip into me,... Ring the love outta me, just quit smiling,... Nothing’s worth saving! Everything's devastating, Take and break every piece—huck em in the empty street, Shatter all my meaning-BREAK EVERYTHING! Twist our truth if that suits, Make it more about me, Less about the ruins, Smile—break my love for you, Do what you have to,... But before you leave can you answer me this? Why are you smiling—breaking me away from everything? [Bridge | Half-time | dramatic drop | spoken-to-sung delivery | swelling intensity.] Fifteen years—surviving with you, Lost all fears—thrown into destitute, Pieces of me—broken and scattered, Doesn’t matter—with smiles comes laughter,... Walk away faster—without me must mean better, Don’t mind my broken pieces—they’re scattered. [Instrumental Solo | half Palm muted guitars chug together with double kicking drum beats | ghost notes and snare hits with rim taps | 5 to 10 bars.] [Pre-Chorus 4 | Rebuild from quiet → explosive | desperation peaks.] Gave me a break, Horror-hammered, happy hate, Pointless pieces, Smashing out of existence, Rip them free—fuck me, Must’ve always meant nothing! Fake sincerity—smiling,... Smiling while I bleed— Bleedin’ out at your pretty feet. [Instrumental Solo 2 | instrumentals explode with energy giving a buildup into Chorus 2.] [Chorus 2 | Largest impact | layered vocals + screams | emotional release + defiance.] Just bent me—twisted me—ripped into me, Rung the love outta me—kept smiling, Nothing was worth saving!—all a fucking waste, You took and broke every piece—must mean I was nothing! Shattered all of my meaning—(FUCK! YOU FRACTURED EVERYTHING!) [Instrumental Break] Keep your truth if that's what suits, Make it more about you—less about the ruins— Smile—fracture my love- Do what you have to,... Without your weight I can finally move! I’m missing pieces—some I'll miss, But I’m starting to get this— Without you I’m finally smiling again, Smiling—replacing my missing pieces,... Living life for me—finally, Smiling and happy after you decided to break me, I replaced each piece with my own meaning— Smiling,... [Outro | Stripped down | clean guitar or piano | fragile but resolved vocal.] I’m broken but I’m here, I let go, let go, let go, let go,... Standing on my own and clear,...
