[Verse 1 — uneven, broken lines] You were— steady, I think Or I made you that way Every time it cracked I just—covered it said it was fine It wasn’t I knew it wasn’t [Pre — tension forming, still unstable] No warning no sound just weight pulling me down [Chorus — first shape, still rough but forming] Let it take me down slow I can’t hold it anymore If it breaks what I was built on maybe I was built wrong In the dark I start to change I can feel it in the weight Something shifting in the fall I’m not you— not at all [Verse 2 — more coherent, less fragmented] There’s a version of me ending in the quiet you left All the parts I hid behind are the only things that’s left I kept bending just to keep you, just to feel like I was enough Now there’s nothing left to hold to, and I think that might be enough [Pre — cleaner, more controlled] No saving what we were Only learning how it ends [Chorus — clearer, stronger structure] Let it take me down slow I won’t carry you below If it cuts me to the bone I’ll learn how to stand alone In the dark I start to change Every scar rewrites my name Something stronger in the fall I’m not you at all [Bridge — fully grounded, direct] You don’t get to come back Not when I see it clear What you broke wasn’t wasted It just brought me here [Final Chorus — fully structured, resolved] Let it take me down slow Let it break what I know I was built inside your hands Now I stand where I began In the dark I found my place Every loss I had to face Something stronger in the fall I survived it all
