Verse 1 I’m trying to find the girl I used to be The one who smiled without questioning Who believed in love like it was meant Like dreams were something heaven-sent Lover’s lane… and rain on skin Make-believe that pulled me in Butterflies I used to chase Now they fade without a trace Verse 2 When it hurts the most, I run away Not from you… but from the pain Feels like I’ve got no skin at all Every touch just breaks the wall So I hide inside my mind Become someone just to survive Try to numb what I can’t face Borrow masks to get through days Pre-Chorus But deep inside… I know what’s true There’s only one place I ever knew Chorus I need the antidote… To bring me back to who I was before I need the antidote… To close this open wound inside my core I gave my love… it blew away Left me frayed… left me erased I need the antidote… I need the antidote Verse 3 Feels like something’s taking light from me Trading mine for what they couldn’t be Like they wear my soul like borrowed clothes While I carry what they won’t hold Vampire love, it drains me slow Takes the parts I used to know I can feel it when they’re near Like they want what’s pure in here Pre-Chorus But they don’t know where it begins They can’t reach where love has been Chorus I need the antidote… To bring me back to who I was before I need the antidote… To close this open wound inside my core I gave my love… it blew away Left me frayed… left me erased I need the antidote… I need the antidote Bridge (soft, almost like a vision) I see a butterfly inside my mind Wings made of color, light, and time Frequency of something pure A love that always was secure Stardust running through my veins Galaxies inside the pain If I could rise… if I could be That version still alive in me Final Chorus (gentle, not broken—reaching) I need the antidote… But maybe it was always there I need the antidote… In every breath, in every prayer The love I lost… I didn’t lose It’s still alive inside of you I need the antidote… And maybe… I am the antidote...
