Cut It Open

[Intro]
Gonna make this short,
Putting my heart on the board.
Ready to cut it open, find the source of the problem,
'Cause it feels like my mind’s stuck in Gotham.
(Slow down, T.S… you don’t wanna make a mess)
[Verse 1]
Say you care, but you're never there…
This isn’t fair, but I know love is rare…
Thought what we had was real,
Thought we were building something to feel.
Still, she leaves me broken — she’s the devil,
Dragging me down, I can’t get on her level.
I’m getting tired of this fight,
Every day, it steals my light.
Giving me problems just to tackle,
Chains on my heart, I hear them rattle.
Of course there are others…
But my heart’s still hers…
[pre-Chorus]
I’m lost in the silence, drowning in noise,
Caught in a war with no voice….
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, hmm…
Tried to let go, but I'm holding on tight,
Ooh-ooh, haunted by memories every night.
She’s in my blood, I can't break free,
Loving her's a prison with no key.
Hmm, hmm…
Tears fall slow, but the scars run deep,
I'm wide awake, but I dream in grief.
Told myself I’d be fine — I lied…
Ooh-ooh, still got her name buried deep inside.
[Verse 2]
I don’t know what I’m becoming,
Just wanna be someone else — someone numbing.
Maybe then I could explain this feeling,
Need an upgrade, yeah, a whole new being.
It’s easy to fake, to swallow the hate,
But I’m breaking down, and it’s showing late.
Fuck being the better man — I’m sinking low,
Held it in too long, now I’m letting it show.
Wasted so much time on love gone blind,
Now even my life don’t feel like mine…
[Final Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, hmm…
Tried to let go, but I'm holding on tight,
Ooh-ooh, haunted by memories every night.
She’s in my blood, I can't break free,
Loving her's a prison with no key.
Hmm, hmm…
Tears fall slow, but the scars run deep,
I'm wide awake, but I dream in grief.
Told myself I’d be fine — I lied…
Ooh-ooh, still got her name buried deep inside.
(Yeah…)
Tried to heal, but the wound won’t close,
Fell too hard, now I can't let go.
Ooh-ooh, hmm…
If pain was a song, this would be my line —
‘Cause even now, she still lives in my mind.
