[Verse 1] Didn't even tell me why, You just left me here to die. A ghost of who you used to be, You’re gone, but your shadow clings to me. I know I'm not to blame, But I know you don’t feel the same. The silence burns, the questions sting, A hollow heart, a broken ring. [Chorus 1] I stand, I fall, I bounce off these four walls. You laugh, you leave, and you leave me here alone. I scream, I call, but no one hears at all. You’re fine, I’m wrecked, this house is not a home. [Verse 2] I’m guilty too, I gave it all to you, Every piece, every truth, I thought you knew. The hours lost, the nights unkind, You stole your own and wasted mine. How could I let it get this far? Chasing a dream that left a scar. The mirror shows, it’s me to blame, For lighting matches in your flame. [Chorus 2] I stand, I fall, I bounce off these four walls. You laugh, you leave, and you leave me here alone. It’s fine for you, but not for me, Did you even care at all? You’re free, I’m chained; you watched me crawl. I scream, I call, but no one hears at all. [Bridge] Could I pay you not to leave? To sew the seams, to let me breathe? The weight of loss, a toll too steep, I’d trade my soul for dreamless sleep. These hands are tired, they’ve held too much, Reaching for ghosts that shatter to dust. [Verse 3] Didn't even tell me why, You just left me here to die. A ghost of who you used to be, You’re gone, but your shadow clings to me. I know I'm not to blame, But I know you don’t feel the same. The silence burns, the questions sting, A hollow heart, a broken ring. [Chorus 3] I stand, I fall, I bounce off these four walls. You laugh, you leave, and you leave me here alone. It’s fine for you, but not for me, Did you even care at all? You’re free, I’m chained; you watched me crawl. I scream, I call, but no one hears at all. [Outro] Could I pay you not to break? To keep the vows we couldn’t fake? Could I buy back what we lost, Undo the pain, erase the cost? But you won’t hear, and I won’t heal, This wound’s too deep, too raw to seal. So I’ll whisper to the dark and to the blue, Could I pay you not to?
