Fingerprints on Every Bit

Verse 1 You called me your safe space While standing in the fire Spoke in the language of forever With a mouth full of wires You held the match behind your back And asked me to believe That the smoke inside the hallway Wasn't coming from your sleeve Pre-Chorus I spent years building shelter You spent nights finding exits Funny how the truth gets louder When the silence finally lets it Chorus So don't tell me you were lost You knew exactly where you'd been Every promise had a crack in it Long before it caved in You didn't break my faith in love You only broke your place in it Now all that's left is an empty room And your fingerprints on every bit Verse 2 I found the truth where trust should live Buried underneath the floor Funny how betrayal always swears It's something you've seen before You wanted all the comfort Without the cost of staying true Wanted someone to catch you After what you chose to do Pre-Chorus The damage wasn't accidental The wreckage wasn't fate Some storms arrive uninvited Some unlock the gate Chorus So don't tell me you were lost You knew exactly where you'd been Every promise had a crack in it Long before it caved in You didn't break my faith in love You only broke your place in it Now all that's left is an empty room And your fingerprints on every bit Bridge I don't need revenge The years will do their part People carry what they are Long after they depart And the hardest truth I learned After all the noise was gone Was realizing I survived The thing I feared all along Final Chorus So keep rewriting history If it helps you sleep at night I know what happened in that house I know what killed the light You didn't take the best of me You took what wasn't yours to keep And I still wake up standing While you lie down with what you reap
