​[Verse 1] I’ve been decorating shadows in this room Counting every scar like it’s a prize I wore your betrayal like a heavy velvet robe And let the velvet blind my eyes. I built a monument to everything you did! I kept the fire fed just to stay warm in the dark! ​[Pre-Chorus] But the smoke is getting thick in my lungs And the melody is coming undone… TELL ME WHAT I’M SAVING! ​[Chorus] I’m dragging a glass anchor to the bottom of the sea Hoping the weight of it would bring you down with me But you’re breathing on the surface, catching all the light While I’m drowning in the memory just to prove that I was right. Oh, I’m letting go of the ghost tonight. ​[Verse 2] CHECK THE PULSE! It’s been stagnant for a year! Feeding on the poison, whispering in my ear That I’m the victim, I’m the martyr, I’m the one who stayed But look at the price, look at the debt that I’ve paid! I was addicted to the ache… Yeah, I loved the way it felt to break. ​[Bridge] Forgiveness isn’t a gift I give to you. It’s the oxygen I need to make it through. IT’S NOT FOR YOU! IT’S FOR ME! BREAK THE CHAIN! ​[Breakdown] BURY THE DEBT! LEAVE THE BONES! THE GRUDGE IS A CAGE! AND I HOLD THE KEYS! SHATTER THE ANCHOR! ​[Chorus] I’m dragging a glass anchor to the bottom of the sea Hoping the weight of it would bring you down with me But you’re breathing on the surface, catching all the light While I’m drowning in the memory just to prove that I was right. ​[Outro] I’m rising up now… The water’s getting clear… I’m leaving it here. I’M LEAVING IT HERE!
