[Verse 1] I brought a candle to your darkest room, Tried to help you sweep out all the gloom. But you didn’t want the light, you wanted someone to blame... For the mess you made and the shadows in your name! I was holding the door while you were kicking it down. Now you’re telling the whole world I’m the one who wants the crown. [Pre-Chorus] I gave you the map, and you called it a trap. I gave you my hand, and you gave it a slap. Every "I’m sorry" that was said for things I didn't do, Was just another brick in the wall built by you. [Chorus] It’s not me, it’s you—but you’ve flipped the script. Now I’m the one bleeding from the words that you spit. You’re painting me black... so you can stay white. Picking a war just to stay in the right. As a friend, I was the witness to the cracks in your soul... So you’re breaking the witness to stay in control. Yeah, it’s easier to hate me... than to look at you! [Verse 2] I stood by the bridge while you lit the match, Expecting me to be the one to catch the ash. It hurts more to talk about it when you’re twisting the blade, Selling the story of the "victim" you made. I didn’t change the plans, I didn’t start the fire! But you’re building a throne on a mountain of barbed wire. [Chorus] It’s not me, it’s you—but you’ve flipped the script, Now I’m the one bleeding from the words that you spit. You’re painting me black... so you can stay white. Picking a war just to stay in the right. As a friend, I was the witness to the cracks in your soul... So you’re breaking the witness to stay in control. [Bridge] [Slower, building intensity] Is it heavy? That weight of always being the victim? Does it burn? Knowing I’m the one who didn't quit? You’re attacking the heart that was beating for you, Just to hide all the things that you know are true. [Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] It’s not me, it’s you—but you’ve flipped the script, Now I’m the one bleeding from the words that you spit. You’re painting me black... so you can stay white. Picking a war just to stay in the right. It’s a lot easier to hate me... Yeah, it's a lot easier to hate me... Than to look at you! [Outro] It’s not me, It never was! In the end, You broke the mirror... Just because. [Fade out]
