Verse 1

I used to trace your name in the dark,

Like a spell I believed could keep us apart from the wreck.

Every whisper was poison, every silence a trap,

I was drowning in you, calling it love, not a trap.

The scars were invisible, but they burned so deep,

I swore I’d never let go, even when I couldn’t breathe.

Chorus

Broken love, it had me on my knees,

Addicted to the ache, addicted to the lies.

But I found a way to walk away from the fire,

Even though it still hurts in the dead of the night.

Verse 2

Now I erase the messages, one by one,

Turn the volume down on the voice that still calls my name.

It’s not that I don’t miss the chaos, the rush, the high,

It’s that I finally saw the cost of staying alive.

I’m learning to breathe without your shadow on my skin,
