(Verse 1) Night hums low, under my skin, Cold breath burns where I’ve been. Streetlight flickers, eyes half-shut, Dreams bleed slow from every cut. (Chorus) Busted lip, but I don’t cry, Pain’s just proof I’m still alive. Busted lip, I taste the truth, Hard love, soft lies, wasted youth. (Verse 2) Hands shake, but I don’t fall, Every bruise just says it all. Shadows crawl where I can’t sleep, Some things cut, some cut deep. (Chorus) Busted lip, but I don’t cry, Pain’s just proof I’m still alive. Busted lip, I taste the truth, Hard love, soft lies, wasted youth. (Bridge – half-whispered) Dark eyes, steady flame, Call my hurt by its name. Slow burn, don’t let go, I live best down below. (Outro – fading, breathy) Busted lip… slow drip… Heart skips, just a bit. Still here… still lit… Busted lip… won’t quit.
