(Male – Verse 1) I found the words I couldn’t say Baked them into yesterday A letter folded, never sent Still hoping it could make a dent (Female – Verse 1) You want a rewrite of the end But I remember how it went That kitchen burned, that table broke And all you gave me was the smoke (Male – Pre-Chorus) I’ve changed the recipe, I swear Less fire now, more room for care I cleaned the mess, I stitched the seams Just tell me this can still mean— (Female – Chorus) No more drafts. No second plates. Love doesn’t live on cleaned-up hate You were the lesson, not the prize A bitter truth I recognize (Both – Bridge) You wrote me love in powdered lines But I was starving every time This isn’t love, it’s just control And I refuse to lose my soul (Male – Chorus) But I still dream you’ll read the note The one I wrote, the one I choked Too late to send, too raw to shred I feast on hope, but I’m half-dead (Female – Final Line, quiet) You always cooked for ghosts, not me.
