Alibi (Ballad Version)

ALIBI (BULLET VERSION) [Verse 1] You showed up dressed in mourning for a girl you didn’t save, Black suit stitched in silence, practiced lines you never gave. You sanctified the damage, called it closure, called it grace— But you only loved me holy when I couldn’t show my face. You lit a candle in my absence, let the wax replace my skin, Built a shrine from all my secrets, sealed the evidence within. Funny how you fear the fire when you’re the one who sparked the flame— Now you’re sifting through the ashes trying to rewrite my name. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] You don’t bury what you break— you just load it up with blame. ⸻ [Chorus] And my tears fire like bullets in the chapel of your lies, Crack the marble, kill the halo—leave you nowhere left to hide. You wrote “forever” like a fever, let it fade, then called it right— Now it echoes like a gunshot every time you close your eyes. You can love another body, swear to God that it feels right— But the ghost you tried to bury’s got its finger on your spine. You don’t lose someone like me—you just lose your alibi… [Post-Chorus / Chant] Bang—bang—baby, I don’t miss Every tear’s a hit like this Bang—bang—feel it in your chest You can run, but it won’t rest ⸻ [Verse 2] You called it “love” in past tense like it’s safer in a grave, Like devotion has a safety you can flick and disengage. Took a knife to every promise just to prove you had control— Now you’re bleeding through the story that you polished into gold. You unplugged me from your daylight like I flickered out of use, Like I wasn’t built from midnight, like I wasn’t born the bruise. But I hear you in the quiet when your new world falls asleep— You don’t miss me in the daylight, you just feel me when you breathe. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] You don’t end what you erase— it just learns to take its aim. ⸻ [Chorus] And my tears fire like bullets in the chapel of your lies, Carving truth into the places where you buried alibis. You can rewrite every memory, bleach the blood out of the fight— But the echo of the damage keeps on ringing through the night. You can love another body, swear to God that it feels right— But the ghost you tried to bury’s got its finger on your spine. You don’t lose someone like me—you just lose your alibi… [Post-Chorus / Chant] Bang—bang—baby, I don’t miss Every tear’s a hit like this Bang—bang—feel it in your chest You can run, but it won’t rest ⸻ [Bridge] “Nothing you did”—yeah, that line always lies, It’s the cleanest way to bury someone alive. You said, “It’s better this way”—like mercy wears a crown, But mercy doesn’t echo when the shot is still resounding now. (pause — quieter) I was your “always” in a language you erased… (drop hits back in) Now it’s ringing like a gunshot in the hollows of your faith. ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS] And my tears fire like bullets—watch them carve into your name, Every “I’m sorry” hits like thunder when it’s whispered far too late. You built a heaven out of exits, called abandonment “escape,” Now you’re kneeling in the wreckage of a love you couldn’t face. You can bless it, you can break it, you can dress it up as fate— But the truth is just a weapon and it’s pointed while you pray. You don’t miss me— you miss how I made you innocent. (silence — then final hit) ’Cause my tears don’t fall— they fire back… and I don’t miss. ⸻ [Outro] (ghostlike, minimal beat) …bang… bang… …don’t miss…
