Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Missed my birthday You forgot my name Every time I called You let it ring Then fade I learned to walk it off Laugh it off Talk it down Taught myself to be tough While you were out of town [Chorus] You were never there for me So why should I be there for you? You only see me when you need me When you're bleeding When you're bruised I built a life from all the pieces That you dropped and never used You were never there for me So why should I be there for you? (why should I?) [Verse 2] You love a good excuse Always "busy" Always gone Say you hate the distance But you drew it all along Now you're at my door Tears on your pretty face Funny how you found me When you ran out of escape [Chorus] You were never there for me So why should I be there for you? You only see me when you need me When you're bleeding When you're bruised I built a life from all the pieces That you dropped and never used You were never there for me So why should I be there for you? [Bridge] I rewound every moment Trying to find what I did wrong But it was never me Was it? You were gone You were gone All along (yeah) [Chorus] You were never there for me So why should I be there for you? You only see me when you need me When you're bleeding When you're bruised I’m not your shadow Not your secret Not your shield to run back to You were never there for me So I won’t be there for you (no, I won’t)

Moody midtempo alt-pop with male vocals over a pulsing bass bed and dry drums; verses stay close and conversational with muted synth pads and picked electric guitar, chorus explodes with wide vocal stacks and a sharp snare; subtle ambient textures in the bridge, final chorus drops instruments briefly for a raw, almost a cappella hit before the band slams back in
