Verse 1 The room is quiet, but it’s screaming your name Every shadow still looks like your face I traced our future in the cracks of the wall But the truth hit harder than the fall I held my breath just to keep you alive Built a home out of maybes and lies Every promise was dressed in gold But love don’t shine when it’s cold Pre-Chorus I bent till I broke just to keep us whole I set myself on fire to keep you warm If this is the end, don’t look away Watch me walk through the flames Chorus When the curtain falls, don’t clap for me This wasn’t a show, this was everything I gave you my blood, my voice, my soul Now I’m standing alone in the echo If goodbye is the price of being free Then I’ll pay it in tears and dignity When the lights go out, remember my name I loved you loud… even in pain Verse 2 Your silence cut deeper than any knife You watched me drown, called it compromise I was your halo, your holy disguise But angels bleed when they’re sacrificed I tried to be soft, I tried to be strong I tried to pretend I didn’t know all along That loving you meant losing me Slowly, beautifully Pre-Chorus I begged the stars for a different end But fate don’t listen when you pretend So take your crown, take your throne I’m done being your ghost Chorus When the curtain falls, don’t clap for me This wasn’t a show, this was everything I gave you my blood, my voice, my soul Now I’m standing alone in the echo If goodbye is the price of being free Then I’ll pay it in tears and dignity When the lights go out, remember my name I loved you loud… even in pain Bridge (stripped back, just piano) If love is a war, I laid down my arms I wore your sins like lucky charms I lost myself to save your heart But survival is an art (orchestra swells) You don’t get to miss me now You don’t get my final bow Final Chorus (full orchestra, key change) When the curtain falls, I rise again From the wreckage of who I’ve been You took my faith, you took control But you couldn’t take my soul If goodbye is the sound of rebirth Let it shake the heavens, let it hurt When the lights go out, I’ll still remain I loved you loud… I survived the pain Outro So close your eyes, the scene is done This is where I finally run From the wreckage, from the scars I am more than we ever were
