Fading Fire

[Intro] [Verse 1] Don’t ask me how I feel, I’ll spill the truth tonight, Your hands wrote scars but they still showed in the light. Every bruise you deny to see, but it's killing me, Now I’m screaming please set me free. [Pre-Chorus] You swore you’d hold me close, never let me fall, Now I’m laying on the floor, I'm not immortal. Thirteen reasons why I stayed, but you stole them all, Left me empty, nothing to lose at all. [Chorus] The real me is fading, but I will rise, You turned our forever into a thousand lies. “It wasn’t that bad”—but it will be me that dies, I’m breaking ’cause you taught me it was all a lie. [Verse 2] Daily storms, mental wars, tears you’ll never see, My pain is nothing to you, like it’s make-believe. I cried on my knees, you're holding the k***e, But your love’s just a blade cutting through the night. [Pre-Chorus] Promises like p****n, sweet till they bleed, You promised to change and I still believed. One last breath before I let the chains release, A***e ain’t love—it’s the death of peace. [Chorus] The real me is fading, but I will rise, You turned our forever into a thousand lies. “It wasn’t that bad”—but it will be me that dies, I’m breaking ’cause you taught me it was all a lie. [Bridge] You’re not worth the pain, not worth my time, I’m rising from the ruins of your twisted mind. No more hiding bruises beneath the moon’s glow, This is the true me that you’ll never know. [Chorus] The real me was fading, now I’m breaking through, Your “love” was a cage—I’m free, I'm leaving you. “It wasn’t that bad”—but you're a good liar, I’m whole again, walking straight out of your fire. [Outro]
