V5

[Female – raspy, angry rock] You blow up small things, make ’em wars, Want every minute, slam every door. I just needed room to breathe, You built a cage and called it me. [Male – gritty, raw tone] I saw the storm behind your eyes, Every calm turned to disguise. You said “forever,” then pulled the pin— Now I’m done bein’ reeled back in. [Both – shouted call & response] (F) Hope you get the help you need, (M) I’m done with all the takin’, all the greed. (Both) When the well runs dry, when the curtain falls, Go back to work — you’ll need it most of all. [Male – sharp, defiant] You ghost for days, then hit send-all, Cry “accident” and watch me fall. I gave my best, it turned to dust, Now I’m the fire, you’re the rust. [Female – bitter, powerful] You froze me out when I said “no,” Tugged the leash, wouldn’t let me go. I never begged for more than truth, But you rewrite love as proof. [Bridge – Both, overlapping shouts] (M) I paid the bills, kept us fed— (F) You kept score inside your head! (M) Silence was the thanks I got— (F) Love ain’t numbers, you forgot! [Final Chorus – Both, harmonized power rock] Hope you get the help you need, We burned the stage, we both got freed. When the well runs dry, when the curtain falls, Go back to work — you’ll need it most of all. [Outro – Male → Female → Both] (M) Maybe I’m crazy, maybe it’s true… (F) But baby, you’re a wildfire too. (Both) Smoke has cleared, the truth came through— Yeah, we dodged a bullet… me and you.
