“You Stole My Years”

I was just a kid with a heart too open

You walked in, made me feel like I was chosen

Fifteen years later, I can’t feel a thing

Just silence where there should be a ring

I gave you my best when I had nothing left

Now I wake up beside your ghost, holding my breath

Your love was a mirror I couldn’t break

But every reflection was a big mistake

You danced while I drowned, smiled while I bled

Laid next to me, but you were miles ahead

Now I walk with a strut but it’s empty pride

Got a laugh that’s loud just to cover what died

All the songs I wrote in the dark for you

They sound like lies when I sing ‘em true

You took my flame, turned it into smoke

And now the stage is mine, but I still choke

“You stole my years, you wore my crown

Built me up just to break me down

Now I scream your name to a sold-out crowd

You’re the ghost in every verse I shout

You stole my youth, gave me your fears

Now I bleed through chords, drown in cheers

This ain’t love, it’s a war I lost

But tonight, I’m burning the cost”

You say you tried, you say we grew

But growing don’t mean breaking someone too

I held your pain like it was mine

Now you watch me shine, but not this time

“You stole my years, you dimmed my light

Made me forget how to sleep at night

You kissed my wounds then cut me deeper

Played forever, but you were the leaver

You stole my fire, fed your fears

Now I light the sky with wasted tears

This ain’t closure, it’s a live goodbye

Sing along if you’ve ever lived a lie”

“This hate is the last thing I give to you—

Enjoy the echo. We’re finally through.”
