[instrumental intro] [Intro | almost breaking] I thought it would stop. That's the stupid part. I thought eventually... it would stop. But it doesn't. Not when you sleep. Not when you close your eyes. Not when you try to think about something else. --- [Verse 1] I was fast. That's what I was. Fast to decide, to push, to believe that if you pressed hard enough... something had to break. But it doesn't. It doesn't break. You're the one left standing, hands like this, waiting... and nothing happens. --- [Verse 2] It didn't happen all at once. That's a lie. It was slow. Like holding your breath. You can. You can. And then you don't even know when it started to hurt. I kept talking. I think. But I wasn't all there anymore. --- [Pre-Chorus] I always thought hate came after. After you lose something. But it doesn't. It's there first. Right there. Waiting. Still. --- [Chorus | unstable] And someone... gave it a shape. And it fit. That's the part I can't... I can't get rid of. Not the moment. No. The clarity. --- [Verse 3 | collapse inward] It wasn't him. It wasn't the plan. It was me. Me wanting it to end. Because if it did... at least something would be left. Even if it was this. --- [Bridge | almost dissociative] Everything is slow now. Too slow. The moment doesn't move. It stays. Like it never passed. Like it's still happening. --- [Final Chorus | stripped] Before... I thought I could fix things. Now... no. Now I'm... something that happened. And it... it doesn't get fixed. --- [Outro | whisper, empty] It wasn't the moment. It was that for a second... I... ... I wanted it to be like that. [instrumental outro]
