Country

[INTRO]
Why’s it always those with the wildest souls that get chained first?
Why does every storm find its way to the ones born of flame?
Fate keeps throwing me into endings,
But why the fuck am I the one who has to suffer them all?

[VERSE 1]
Every time I open love, I get handed shattered glass
Born to burn through lifetimes, but it always scars me back
They say my soul is made for endings,
Yeah, I’ve buried worlds in my chest
But I’m bleeding every time another fucking promise fails the test

[BRIDGE]
You came in like a saviour, but you ghosted like a curse
Said you’d love the flame within me, then you feared how bright it burned
Now I’m dragging every heartbreak like it’s wired to my fate
Why does God assign me endings, just to watch me detonate?

[PRE-CHORUS]
I got prophecies in my bloodstream
I got death and rebirth in my name
But I’m so fucking tired of being chosen
Just to shoulder this pain

[CHORUS]
WHY THE FUCK AM I THE ONE
WHO GETS STUCK WITH EVERY BROKEN-HEARTED BURDEN?
I ALWAYS GIVE ‘EM REDEMPTION
BUT THEY LEAVE ME BLEEDING, UNWORTHY
I keep carrying every ending that was never meant to be mine
But why the hell do I gotta hold
Every soul too scared to climb?
WHY THE FUCK DOES IT ALWAYS, ALWAYS,
TEAR ME APART THIS TIME?

[VERSE 2]
They call me powerful, call me chosen, then they drown me in their doubt
I resurrect their will to live, while they suck my spirit out
I’m the flame that lights their healing,
Then they run once they revive
I ain’t your stepping stone to wholeness, I’M A LIFETIME, NOT A HIGH

[BRIDGE]
I’m a walking funeral for futures I never got to own
Every lover finds salvation, then forgets who gave ‘em home
I was built for revolution,
But I’m sick of dying first
If my birth rite is destruction, then let ME decide the burn

[FINAL PRE-CHORUS]
Don’t you FUCKING dare call me strong
Like it’s praise when it’s a curse
Stop applauding my survival
While you leave me dying worse

[FINAL CHORUS]
WHY THE FUCK AM I THE ONE
WHO GETS STUCK WITH EVERY BROKEN-HEARTED BURDEN?
I’M NOT YOUR HOLY HEALER
I’M NOT GOD, I’M STILL HURTING
I was born to end the cycles, but I’m done dying in the flames
If salvation is a battlefield
I WON’T KEEP BLEEDING IN YOUR NAME 

WHY THE FUCK DOES IT ALWAYS, ALWAYS,
TEAR ME OPEN LIKE IT’S FATE?
If I’m destined to burn, I’ll burn for ME
NOT FOR THE LOVE THAT ALWAYS BREAKS.

[OUTRO]
I was born to end the cycles
But I refuse to die in chains
If my life path is destruction
Then I’ll turn it into change.

WHY THE FUCK IS IT ALWAYS ME?

[INTRO]
You ever hurt so deep you swear you don’t wanna feel at all?
You ever pour your whole damn soul into someone just to watch it fall?
I’m at the bottom of a whiskey glass, staring at the ghost of what we were
And I swear to God, I'd rather feel nothing than feel like this any further

[VERSE 1]
You said forever like it was cheap, like love was just a line
I burned every bridge I ever had just to prove you were mine
But forever turned to silence, and now silence sounds like hell
You left me talking to the shadows, with nobody left to tell

[PRE-CHORUS]
I ain’t begging for your closure, I ain’t asking for your pity
I just wanna send you proof of how damn bad you fucking hit me

[CHORUS]
FUCK LOVE, IT MADE ME CARVE MY HEART OUT
CAN I MAIL IT TO YOU IN A BOX?
WRAPPED IN EVERY MEMORY YOU LEFT ROTTING WHEN YOU WALKED
IT’S STILL WARM, BLEEDING ALL THE THINGS I NEVER SAID
GO AHEAD, PUT IT ON A SHELF LIKE YOU DID MY TRUST IN YOUR BED
FUCK LOVE, IT MADE ME RIP MYSELF APART
CAN I MAIL YOU WHAT’S LEFT OF MY HEART?

[VERSE 2]
I believed in the kind of love that movies make seem real
Now I can’t even hear your name without forgetting how to feel
You kissed me like salvation, then you cursed me like a lie
You said love would make me stronger, but all it did was make me die

[PRE-BRIDGE]
I ain’t here to write a love song, this is a goddamn eulogy
For the man I was before you fucking murdered every piece of me

[BRIDGE]
I got the blade, I got the box, I got your address memorized
I’ll send you everything you broke, since it’s dead to me inside
Seal it up with all my pain, with a note that simply reads:
“This is yours, since you never gave a damn what it did to me.”

[FINAL CHORUS]
FUCK LOVE, IT MADE ME CARVE MY HEART OUT
CAN I MAIL IT TO YOU IN A BOX?
TIED WITH EVERY FUCKING PROMISE THAT YOU SOLD THEN LET ROT
IT’S STILL BEATING, IF YOU LISTEN CLOSE ENOUGH YOU’LL HEAR IT SCREAM
“DON’T COME BACK, DON’T YOU DARE, NOT AGAIN, NOT IN MY DREAMS”
FUCK LOVE, IT MADE ME RIP MYSELF APART
SO CONGRATS, YOU OWN WHAT’S LEFT OF MY HEART

[OUTRO]
Corner of my soul still hopes someday that box burns in your hands
’Cause maybe then you’ll feel the pain I couldn’t make you understand
But till then, I’m done, I ain’t loving anymore
I carved my heart out, and I left it at your door.

Carve My Heart Out & Mail It

[INTRO]
I ain’t asking for a second chance, I ain’t trying to change your mind
I just can’t help but sit here wondering how the hell we fell behind
We had thunder in our veins, we had fate in every touch
So why the hell did love decide we were never gonna be enough?

[VERSE 1]
I still remember headlights on your skin, backroads and soft confessions
Midnight air felt like forever, now forever feels like a lesson
You said I was your safe place, I said you were my home
Then somehow all that gold turned cold, now I'm lost here on my own

[PRE-CHORUS]
Maybe we burned too bright too fast
Maybe timing just betrayed us
But God, it kills to know I’d give it all
If fate just stayed and saved us

[CHORUS]
WHY COULDN’T IT HAVE JUST WORKED BETWEEN US?
WHY’D WE HAVE TO FALL APART THIS WAY?
WHY DID SOMETHING BUILT SO DAMN UNBREAKABLE
TURN TO DUST INSIDE A DAY?
WE HAD FOREVER IN OUR REARVIEW
BUT IT VANISHED IN THE rush
WHY COULDN’T IT HAVE JUST, JUST, FUCKING WORKED BETWEEN US?

[VERSE 2]
I still reach for you in dreams, like my hands ain’t learned the truth
Still flinch at every love song, like the world’s repeating you
Friends keep saying “time will fix it”, but time just makes it clear
Nothing’s broken like the kind of love that almost lasted years

[PRE-BRIDGE]
I ain’t mad that you let go
I ain’t even asking why
I just hate that we were perfect
At the wrong damn place in time

[BRIDGE]
Baby, was I really not enough?
Or were we everything, just too much?
’Cause I swear the way you once looked at me
Still burns louder than the end of us

[FINAL CHORUS]
WHY COULDN’T IT HAVE JUST WORKED BETWEEN US?
WHY’D THE RIGHT LOVE COME AT THE WRONG TIME?
I WOULD’VE BUILT THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD AROUND YOU,
IF FOREVER DIDN’T FUCKING LIE
NOW I’M SITTING IN THE AFTERMATH
OF THE BEST THING I EVER TRUST
ASKING GOD, SCREAMING GOD,
WHY COULDN’T IT JUST HAVE WORKED BETWEEN US?

[OUTRO]
I guess some miracles are meant to break
Just to prove how real they were
But baby, if there’s a world where we made it...
I hope we made it there, together.

Why Couldn't it Have just Worked

[INTRO]
I feel it in my blood, running deep like a river
A shadow from the past, a weight I can’t deliver
Every step I take, every choice I make
Feels like a ghost is guiding me, forcing me to break

[VERSE 1]
My father’s eyes warned me, his silence spoke loud
Every generation before me, bowed under the shroud
I try to fight it, but the chains are unseen
I’m born with this burden, caught in what has been

[PRE-CHORUS]
I scream to the heavens, I cry to the night
Why am I chosen to bear this fight?
It’s not my sin, it’s not my crime
Yet I carry it heavy, all the damn time

[CHORUS]
I’m carrying an ancestral curse, stitched into my bones
A fire in my veins, I’m haunted, I’m alone
Every heartbeat reminds me of the debt I can’t reverse
I’m carrying an ancestral curse, can’t escape this hearse

[VERSE 2]
I’ve seen the faces of those who came before
Their laughter cut short, their dreams no more
I feel their whispers when the night gets cold
Telling me their stories, secrets left untold

[PRE-CHORUS]
I run, I fight, I fall, I rise
But this curse clings tight, it never dies
I’m a son of the past, chained to their fate
Trying to find my own life before it’s too late

[CHORUS]
I’m carrying an ancestral curse, stitched into my bones
A fire in my veins, I’m haunted, I’m alone
Every heartbeat reminds me of the debt I can’t reverse
I’m carrying an ancestral curse, can’t escape this hearse

[BRIDGE]
But maybe I can break it, maybe I can bend
Take the pain of the past, and turn it to my friend
I’ll light my own fire, carve my own name
Rise above the shadows, break free from the shame

[FINAL CHORUS]
I’m carrying an ancestral curse, but I won’t fall
I’ll take this burden, and I’ll stand tall
Every heartbeat fuels me, every tear makes me strong
I’m carrying an ancestral curse, but I’ll rewrite the song

[OUTRO]
I hear the ancestors whisper, but now I understand
I’ll honor their struggles, but I’ll walk my own land
The curse is in my blood, but so is the fire
I carry it with pride, I carry it higher

Carrying an Ancestral Curse

[INTRO]
Moonlight flickers on the gravestones’ face
Whiskey in my hand, trying to find some grace
The wind whispers stories of the ones long gone
I drink to their memory, trying to carry on

[VERSE 1]
She left me here with nothing but regret
Every heartbeat echoes with what I can’t forget
I stumble past the markers, shadows in the night
The bottle’s my companion, trying to make it right

[PRE-CHORUS]
I talk to the dead, hoping they’ll understand
Why love can crumble right out of your hands
Every sip burns, but it dulls the pain
In the silence of the stones, I scream her name

[CHORUS]
Downing a bottle of whiskey in a cemetery
Sipping on sorrow, chasing away the memory
The ghosts of the past staring back at me
I drink to forget, I drink to be free
The earth holds their secrets, the bottle holds my tears
Downing a bottle of whiskey, trying to face my fears

[VERSE 2]
Headstones like sentinels, watching me fall
I pour my heart into the night, I pour it all
The cold wind bites, but the whiskey bites harder
Each gulp a reminder, each breath a little farther

[PRE-CHORUS]
I raise my glass to the moon, to the pain I feel
To the love that broke me, the wounds that won’t heal
I stumble through the markers, lost and alone
Finding comfort in whiskey, the graveyard my home

[CHORUS]
Downing a bottle of whiskey in a cemetery
Sipping on sorrow, chasing away the memory
The ghosts of the past staring back at me
I drink to forget, I drink to be free
The earth holds their secrets, the bottle holds my tears
Downing a bottle of whiskey, trying to face my fears

[BRIDGE]
Maybe tomorrow the pain will ease
Maybe the wind will carry my pleas
But tonight I’m here, among the silent stones
Whiskey in my hand, embracing the unknown

[FINAL CHORUS]
Downing a bottle of whiskey in a cemetery
Haunted by the past, trying to bury the memory
Every sip a bandage, every swallow a fight
Searching for solace in the dead of night
The graves don’t judge, the whiskey doesn’t lie
Downing a bottle of whiskey, letting the pain fly

[OUTRO]
Moonlight fades, and the wind calms down
The bottle empty, I leave the graveyard town
Heart still aching, but I survived the night
Whiskey and silence, my only respite

Downing a Bottle in the Cemetery
