[Slow piano and steings intro] (Verse 1) I stood there frozen on the crowded street, The bitter cold beneath my shaking feet. I saw the old coat that I used to know, The heavy stance you used to always show. But then your blind gaze cut right through my skin, A perfect stranger where I should have been. Your silhouette belongs to someone new, While I am drowning in the thought of you. (Pre-Chorus) I can’t unsee the way you move along, Like I was just a note inside your song. No backward glance, you didn't even stall, Like what we had was never there at all. (Chorus) You were the air I breathed, the heavy chains, The only cure and all my lovely pains. I thought we carved our names into the stone, But I'm left bleeding in the dark, alone. The jagged tear you left inside my chest Is far too deep for anyone to rest. (Verse 2) I watched your fingers lace with someone new, Replaying every scene I had with you. It felt just like a slow, quiet eclipse, To watch that smile that used to touch my lips. I want to tear the world apart today, To make the new illusion fade away. You are a fortress that I cannot breach, A jagged shoreline just beyond my reach. (Pre-Chorus) I can’t unsee the way you move along, Like I was just a note inside your song. No backward glance, you didn't even stall, Like what we had was never there at all. (Bridge) It’s not just sorrow; it’s a biting cold, I am defined by stories left untold. This city feels like ash beneath my skin, Because the world outside is caving in. I cannot stomach you being whole again, When I am rotting in this endless pain. (Epic symphonic build heavy piano and staccato strings driving to final chorus) (Final Chorus) You were the air I breathed, the heavy chains, The only cure and all my lovely pains. I thought we carved our names into the stone, But I'm left bleeding in the dark, alone. The jagged tear you left inside my chest Is far too deep for anyone to rest. (Outro) So walk right on, but know I hold the key, You never truly will outrun of me. I'm chained inside this heavy, burning place, Where I am branded by your every trace.
