What I Made

Verse 1 I almost didn’t recognize The woman standing in that light Same eyes, but colder now Like they’ve seen the other side You used to shake when we would fight Now you don’t even blink You looked at me like I’m a stranger And that’s what made me think God, what did I do? Pre-Chorus You used to love like it was holy Now you move like you don’t owe me Chorus I made you this — All sharp edges, dressed in black Looking like you don’t look back You don’t flinch when I exist And I swear I felt it twist Yeah, I made you this. Verse 2 I heard your name around this town Different tone when it comes out They say you’re fire in a glass They say you never stick around I watched you laugh with someone new That smile didn’t reach your eyes You kissed him slow like it was strategy Not love — just exercise And it hit me in the chest You don’t love like that unless Pre-Chorus Someone taught you hearts can lie Someone taught you how to survive Chorus I made you this — The villain in a perfect dress The heartbreak no one can possess You don’t beg and you don’t miss You don’t bleed, you just dismiss Yeah, I made you this. Bridge (regret setting in) I remember bathroom floors Mascara tears and slammed doors You asking me, “Is there someone else?” And me swearing on myself I remember calling you insane While I was playing dirty games God, I watched you fall apart And blamed it on your heart Now you stand in front of me Like karma carved you beautifully Breakdown (quiet realization) You don’t hate me. That’s the worst part. You feel nothing. And I don’t know how to live with that. Verse 3 I tried to tell you you look good Like that would fix what I once could You smiled like I’m history Like I’m just some old mistake You said, “I hope you’re doing fine.” God, that almost broke my spine You used to say you’d die for me Now you don’t even rewind You don’t ask. You don’t ache. You don’t even hesitate. Final Chorus (full regret, almost self-hate) I made you this — A masterpiece of my mistakes A heart that no one ever breaks You don’t trust and you don’t wish You don’t reach — you just resist And I can’t undo what I did I made you this. Outro (alone, years later echo) You used to be my softest place Now you’re something I can’t trace I wanted someone easy to control. Instead… I built a woman I can’t even touch.
