[Verse 1]
You liked the way I bled for you
Turned my whole life into proof for you
Left all my own small dreams at your door
Called it devotion
You just called for more

Skipped dinners with my father to calm your storms
Laughed it off as "us against the world" in different forms
Every fight you lit
I held the blame
Carved your hurt deep
Signed it with my name

[Chorus]
I burned my bridges just to keep you warm
Gave up my shelter
Walked into your storm
But betrayal was waiting in our shared bed sheets
My name on your tongue as a lie so sweet
Now I'm standing in the ruins of our plans
Heart charred black
Ashes off my hands
I was loyal to a love that was hollow and cruel
Now I save that kind of sacrifice for someone true

[Verse 2]
I remember the night your secrets spilled
His jacket on your chair
His cologne still
Your eyes
Two strangers I had never met
Saying "It just happened" like you tripped on regret

My chest went quiet
Then a deafening sound
Every promise we made just hit the ground
There I was
Emptied by a gentle face
Trading my forever for your borrowed grace

[Bridge]
I grieved the man I was with you
The version that mistook control for "seeing me through"
Sat in the darkness
Let the anger speak
Till it softened into truth
Made my spine less weak

Love is not a cage dressed up as fate
Not a quiet death in another's name you celebrate
I stitch my worth back
Thread by thread
Lay every broken piece beside my bed

[Chorus]
I once burned my bridges just to keep you warm
Now I build my own house far from your storm
Let betrayal stay buried in your tangled sheets
My name off your tongue
I reclaim my peace
I'm done standing in the ruins of your plans
Heart healing slow
Dusting off my hands
All that I gave made me wiser
Not used
Now I wait
Wide open
For a love that's earned
Not abused
