Dead on Arrival

[Verse 1]
Heart flatlined, beep beep, no revival
Loving you felt lethal, survival's tribal
Gave you my trust, now it's dust in the rubble
You built a castle of mirrors, left me in trouble
Gaslit my soul, dimmed the whole flame
Told me I was crazy while you played the blame game
Your love was a grenade, I pulled the pin blind
Now I'm dodging every heart like it's landmine
[Prechorus]
Heart on E, ain't no refill
Steering through this pain, every turn uphill
Looking in the rearview, can't unsee
The monster you made out of me
[Chorus]
Dead on arrival, my love DOA
Can't resuscitate, nah, it won't replay
Trust turned to ashes, I can't betray
Dead on arrival, my love DOA
[Verse 2]
Narcissist’s spell, yeah, it lingers like smoke
PTSD, now my trust's a bad joke
I hear your voice in shadows, echoes in my mind
But I won't let it bind, won't rewind the time
My love tank's empty, no miles to give
Every "I love you" was venom, how'd I forgive?
You wore your charm like a bulletproof vest
Left me bleeding out while you flexed on the rest
[Bridge]
Ad-lib echoes: (Nah, nah), "never again"
Cold walls up, won't let 'em in
Locked my heart in a vault, threw away the key
Ain't no cure for this love PTSD
[Chorus]
Dead on arrival, my love DOA
Can't resuscitate, nah, it won't replay
Trust turned to ashes, I can't betray
Dead on arrival, my love DOA
