Lyrics
Verse 1
You saw the cracks in my armor
like doors you could walk through.
Every scar I ever tried to hide
became a map back to you.
You knew when I was weakest,
you knew what I needed to hear—
you called it love when you touched me,
but it was just feeding on fear.
Pre-Chorus
You wrapped your arms around my damage
and called it destiny.
Chorus
You made a home in my wounds,
hung your pictures on my pain.
Every time I tried to heal,
you’d tell me I was changing.
You said I was safest with you,
but I was losing my name—
you made a home in my wounds,
and I let you stay.
Verse 2
I started lying to my friends,
telling them I was fine.
Didn’t want them to see
how you were hollowing out my mind.
I confused being needed
with being loved.
Pre-Chorus
I was so afraid of being alone
I let you own me.
Chorus
Bridge
You didn’t build me a future—
you built walls around my past.
You didn’t hold me together,
you just made me harder to ask.
Final Chorus
Now I’m tearing down the rooms
you built inside my skin.
Outro
You don’t live in me anymore.
