Noone Came

Verse 1 You were shaking on the edge again I was steady, I was medicine Held your wrists when you let go Told you things you needed to know Stayed awake through every storm Let you break, kept you warm Took your nightmares into mine Said, “You’ll be okay this time.” Every time you fell apart — I stitched you up with pieces of my heart. Pre-Chorus I was your light in the blackout Your voice when you couldn’t shout But I never let you see What it was doing to me Chorus I stopped you from falling Answered every midnight calling Took your weight like it was mine Crossed your lines, blurred mine You said I was strong enough Said I never gave up But when my walls finally caved… When I needed to be saved… No one came. Verse 2 You leaned on me till I bent Till my spine was permanent Carried things I couldn’t name Swallowed pride, swallowed pain I was there when hope was thin Talked you down from giving in You healed slow, you moved on I stayed stuck where you were gone Every time I felt myself crack — I told myself, “Just hold it back.” Pre-Chorus I was the calm in your disaster Held you together faster But I never let you see There was nothing holding me Chorus I stopped you from falling Answered every midnight calling Held the rope, locked the door Stood between you and the floor You said I was strong enough Said I never gave up But when my hands gave way… When I started to fray… No one came. Bridge (shift — the empathy breaking) Who saves the one who saves everybody? Who hears the voice when it’s nobody? I was your lifeline, your lifeline, your lifeline… But mine was never around. Something in me started fading Not dramatic — just erasing Little pieces, one by one Till the feeling all went numb Breakdown (quiet, almost empty) You got better. You got free. You got everything you needed from me. I got silence. I got space. I got good at the blank in my face. Final Chorus (emotionally hollow, not loud — colder delivery) I stopped you from falling But I don’t hear you calling Took your weight, took the blame Took the fire, took the flame You said I was strong enough Said I never gave up Now I don’t feel the same… There’s no ache, no flame… When you reach for my hand… It just hangs. And if you ever break again… Don’t look my way. No one came. Outro (detached, almost whispered) I don’t carry it now. I don’t carry you now. I don’t carry anything.
