Unnecessary Pain

You saw the light coming back to my eyes Saw me climbing out from the wreckage and lies I had built up my walls brick by heavy brick But you came with a smile, a practiced trick You watched me heal from the scars on my skin Then you begged for a way to let yourself in I told you the ghosts were finally gone But you stayed in the shadows waiting for dawn It wasn't about the timing or phase It was how you led me back into the maze You knew the map of my old broken heart And you chose to tear every stitch back apart I’m not mad that you weren’t ready for us I’m mad that you turned my gold into dust You could have stayed silent, you could have stayed gone Instead of dragging me back to the ground I was on I didn’t deserve a second round of the fall You should have just left me with nothing at all Yeah, you should have just left me alone I was breathing fine in the cool night air Until you promised a love that wasn’t there You put on a show, a cinematic lead Giving me everything you knew I didn’t need You saw the healing, you saw the peace But you wanted a high you couldn't release So you tricked me into the deep end again Pretending to be more than a momentary friend You knew the damage, you knew the cost You counted the tears before I was lost I’m not mad that you weren’t ready for us I’m mad that you turned my gold into dust You could have stayed silent, you could have stayed gone Instead of dragging me back to the ground I was on I didn’t deserve a second round of the fall You should have just left me with nothing at all Yeah, you should have just left me alone I trusted the words that you whispered so low I let down the guard that took years to grow It’s the pointless heartbreak that burns in my chest The way you made me fail your selfish test You saw me whole and you wanted me broke Now I’m standing here in the middle of the smoke I’m not mad that you weren’t ready for us I’m mad that you turned my gold into dust You could have stayed silent, you could have stayed gone Instead of dragging me back to the ground I was on I didn’t deserve a second round of the fall You should have just left me with nothing at all Yeah, you should have just left me alone
