Hypothetically

I waited in silence… While you learned how to let me go. I gave you every piece of me Until my hands were empty Built a home inside your storms While mine collapsed behind me You said love meant sacrifice So I swallowed every warning Spent my nights holding your ghosts While mine kept me from sleeping And I can’t count How many times I bled to keep you breathing While you watched me drown Like my suffering had no meaning Tell me why Every wound you carry matters more than mine Why I disappear Every single time you cry I waited for years Just to watch you choose yourself again I broke my back carrying us While you called it love instead And I swear to God I’m dying inside your silence Why do only your feelings matter While mine are met with violence? You took every part of me Now there’s nothing left to save I gave you my whole life And you gave me a grave I learned to speak in apologies Even when I wasn’t wrong Learned how to cut out pieces of myself Just to help you carry on You held my heart like a hostage Then blamed me for the chains Every time I tried to leave You pulled me back with pain So tell me— Was I ever someone you loved? Or just a body built To absorb what you became? I’M SO SICK OF DYING FOR YOUR PEACE WHILE YOU RIP THE AIR RIGHT OUT OF ME I GAVE YOU YEARS I GAVE YOU BLOOD I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU CALLED IT LOVE BUT LOVE DOESN’T LEAVE SOMEONE EMPTY LOVE DOESN’T MAKE YOU DISAPPEAR SO WHY THE HELL WAS I THE ONLY ONE SACRIFICING HERE?! Maybe I stayed Because losing you felt worse Than losing myself But now I look in the mirror And I don’t know who survived. I waited for years For a version of you that never came Set myself on fire for warmth While you stood there in the flames Now the smoke fills my lungs And I finally understand You only loved me As long as I could withstand All the weight All the blame All the damage you denied But I can’t keep bleeding out Just to keep you alive. So here’s the truth… I mattered too. #metalcore #posthardcore #newmusic #indieartist #emorevival #cyberpunkmusic #lyricvideo #undergroundmusic #emotionalmusic #modernmetal #breakdown #breakupsongs #musicdiscovery #newmusic #screamo
