[Intro] It hurts to stay, truly And I think everyone already knows the math [Verse 1] I was born under a silent blanket, under a sky—under a frozen sky I spent my childhood learning how to lie well I planted absence in myself; it’s an art To live in air that’s never been breathed, tucked away behind the stair You wouldn’t notice me if you walked right past Just a soul that dropped the burden of caring I dropped it [Hook] This life, it’s just a borrowed suit And it never, never closed on me [Verse 2] I saw the flash of mania, then weeks where I couldn’t move They tried to fix the sickness, but they never found the proof I woke up in a white room, ashamed that I survived Damaged goods they somehow kept alive They measure the pulse, but not the silent guilt that I’ve built A wreck covered in the shame of the life I already spilled [Hook] This life, it’s just a borrowed suit And it never, never closed on me [Chorus] And why… why did the falling have to stop? Tell me why That simple, ugly math that dragged me to the top against my will I’m so tired of fighting—tired of battles no one sees Every new morning is just confirmation of the failure inside me I begged the ending to take me—I was already halfway there [Verse 3] I watch them move behind the glass; they all seem fine They carry their reasons, and I can’t find one for mine Do they ever count this empty space I insist on keeping? Or the quiet debt I owe for the air they breathe while sleeping? If I vanished now, would silence make a sound? Or is my absence the quietest thing around? [Hook] This life, it’s just a borrowed suit And it never, never closed on me [Bridge] Don’t tell me it fades—I need the sting to remember The scar is the only honest truth left in this mess A low, quiet burn I finally allow to stay [Outro] I survived by accident—just a weak twist of fate I stayed because leaving became too late And now I wait for the dark to take what belongs to it
