Lyrics
Description
i let the night fold over all the warning signs,
midnight phone glow, your name that never replied.
you wore a smile like weather, changing with the dawn,
i kept the locket close — it cracked when you were gone.
a message left on read, a quiet that screamed louder,
i felt the pull, the tug of trust turned to powder.
i knew the whisper in my chest i tried to smother,
said, "trust him," then i swallowed the other.
my instincts screamed, i smothered that sound,
now silence has teeth and it pulls me down.
you left a dagger where my heartbeat used to be,
your silence drove the blade, you cut the cords of me.
blocked and shadowed — your goodbye was a freeze,
you left a dagger where my heartbeat used to be.
promises like postcards burned on the floor,
i found your shadow in the photos on my door.
a shattered locket singing like glass in my palm,
your hands were warm until they folded into calm.
i watched you walk away behind a pixel wall,
then the blue ticks stayed still and my name took the fall.
every little favor, every late excuse,
unraveled like thread, a map with no use.
my instincts screamed, i pushed them back to sleep,
now the cold truth settles in bones i keep.
you drove a blade, then locked the world outside,
left my messages unread while you denied.
blocked me out of sunrise, left me fighting for air,
you left a dagger where my heartbeat used to be — and walked away from care.
i trace the scar where your shadow carved my name,
i stitch the wound with truth, with every lesson i claim.
i pull the thread — the story loosens, then it mends,
i burn the map of blame and fold it into an end.
from the ash i feel a rhythm that's wholly mine,
a steady drum that outlasts the bent of your design.
you left a dagger where my heartbeat used to be,
but the blade revealed the shape of who i'm meant to be.
blocked your number, closed the page, found the key,
you left a dagger — now it can't take the heart inside of me.
no more midnight phone ghosts, no unread alibis,
i walk with eyes unblinded, holding my sunrise.
from the dagger's truth a tempered steel was born,
stronger, sharper — i'm the light after the storm.
