Static Warnings

**Verse 1**

You said you were leaving before you arrived

Like heartbreak was part of your name

I watched as the light in your eyes slowly died

And loved you the exact same

The walls started leaning, the floor gave away

But I called it a change in the tide

You packed all your shadows and left them to stay

Like ghosts I was meant to survive

**Pre-Chorus**

There were sirens under your breath

Every promise sounded like death

But I let them sing me to sleep

**Chorus**

You were a warning I memorized

A storm I refused to outrun

I knew that the sky would collapse on us

Still I said, “You’re the one.”

You burned like a house with the doors locked shut

And I laid on the kitchen floor

Now the smoke’s in my chest and it won’t clear out

And I don’t fight it anymore

**Verse 2**

You traced every bruise like it made you feel close

Like damage was something to share

We built something fragile from splinters and hope

And pretended the cracks weren’t there

You said, “Love is just pressure that pulls us apart,”

I said, “Maybe that’s what I need.”

So you tightened your grip around my breaking heart

And I thanked you for making me bleed

**Pre-Chorus**

Every fault line had your name

Every silence felt the same

Like the end before the fall

**Chorus**

You were a warning I memorized

A flood in the shape of a kiss

I felt every wave as it swallowed me whole

But I still leaned into it

You shattered the glass of the life we had

And I swallowed the shards for proof

Now I taste metal every time I breathe

And I call it loving you

**Bridge (soft, hollow)**

Maybe I don’t believe in better

Maybe I don’t believe in safe

Maybe I only feel alive

When something’s about to break

If peace is a quiet room

I’d rather the ceiling cave

At least in the falling debris

There’s something left to save

**Final Chorus (strained, cracked)**

You were the ending I saw ahead

But endings are all I know

So I stood in the path of your hurricane

And begged you not to go

Now the sky is clear but I can’t feel warm

There’s no one left to blame

Just the echo of sirens in empty rooms

And me whispering your name

**Outro**

Some people survive the wreckage.

Some people become it.

I think I was built

To stay in the ruins.
