(listen…)
(i was losing everything… my health, my home, my sanity…)
(and i still chose you.)
(so don’t you ever rewrite that story like i didn’t love you right.)
i was a single mom carryin' every crack, every scar
no job, no sleep, just the weight of a lonely heart
cancer crawlin' under skin like it owned my days
but you, you were the only part that kept the dark at bay
i called you my refuge, the calm beneath my storm
but behind your eyes, the cold was always warm
i gave you loyalty, the last piece of my soul
while you chipped away, left me shattered, never whole
ten toes down through every bruise and broken night
still answering when you called, caught in the silent fight
i was your shelter when my world was torn apart
but you, you twisted love into a work of dark art
ten toes down, yeah, i stood while you threw stones
fighting ghosts inside my head, now i’m reclaiming my bones
i chose you at my lowest, now i’m choosing me
ten toes up, breaking free from what used to be
homeless dreams whispered cold under a cracked streetlight
picking pieces of myself from every fractured night
you wrapped your hands around my hope just to drain it dry
smiling while my spirit withered like a lullaby
you sold me stories coated honey but filled with rust
built a throne of lies on every shattered trust
the blood i spilled to keep us close was just your fuel
i was dying slow while you rewrote every rule
ten toes down through every bruise and broken night
still answering when you called, caught in the silent fight
i was your shelter when my world was torn apart
but you, you twisted love into a work of dark art
ten toes down, yeah, i stood while you threw stones
fighting ghosts inside my head, now i’m reclaiming my bones
i chose you at my lowest, now i’m choosing me
ten toes up, breaking free from what used to be
fuck you for the pain you put me through—it's carved inside my skin
i screamed silence, held my ground while you were drowning in your sin
i gave you my everything—my soul on frayed thread
and you turned that love into the cold weight of dread
i’m not that broken woman who answered when you called
i’m fire rising from the ruins where you let me fall
you’re just a shadow in the story i’m rewriting now
dead to me, lost to the scars you left somehow
ten toes down through every bruise and broken night
still answering when you called, caught in the silent fight
i was your shelter when my world was torn apart
but you, you twisted love into a work of dark art
ten toes down, yeah, i stood while you threw stones
fighting ghosts inside my head, now i’m reclaiming my bones
i chose you at my lowest, now i’m choosing me
ten toes up, breaking free from what used to be
i was your forever, your ride or die
now i’m just the reason you survived
ten toes up, breathing life back in my chest
i chose you when i was fading—now i’m choosing rest
no more silent screams, no more holding down
i’m the queen of my scars, wearing strength like a crown
ten toes down, but now ten toes up
from the ashes of you, i’ve had enough.
