Watchtower

Shatterproof Heart

Verse 1

You left me saying you don’t know what you want
Like that excuses the damage you’ve done
All the pictures, all the miles we drove
Tell me, was any of it real at all?

Every memory feels like a lie now
Every laugh feels staged
You said forever like you meant it
Then threw it all away

Pre-Chorus

You don’t get to act like this was mutual
You don’t get to rewrite the truth

Chorus

You gave up on me
Because you forgot what love means
I was showing you every damn day
But you were too goddamn blind to see

You said you wanted forever with me
Then you dropped it like it was nothing
You walked away like I didn’t fight for us
Like I wasn’t bleeding for something

Verse 2

You met my family
Looked them in the eyes
You said you couldn’t wait to marry me
Like it was already decided

You even knew the kind of wedding ring you wanted
An oval cut, you said it perfectly
I wanted so badly to buy you one
’Cause I wanted you forever with me

Now I hear you still wanna be married
So tell me what changed
If that future meant everything
Why isn’t it my name?

You talked to me like I was disposable
Like I didn’t matter at all
But you’re the one who walked away
So why am I the one who falls?

Pre-Chorus 2

I should be the one who’s pissed off
I should be the one who’s done
I tried everything I had
And it still wasn’t enough

Chorus

You gave up on me
While I was breaking myself in two
I gave you everything I had
Trying to be enough for you

You didn’t lose love by accident
You chose not to care
And now I’m standing in the wreckage
Of something you wouldn’t protect

Bridge (slow, venomous)

All I ever wanted was a family
Something real, something true
You gave me that dream
And made me believe it was you

We talked about a little girl
Like it was meant to be
We even gave her a name
Like destiny was guaranteed

Her name was Charlotte
And you just let her disappear
Like love is something temporary
You erase when it gets hard to feel

Breakdown (angry, confronting)

Do you even think about me?
Do you get upset, do you cry?
Do you get angry like I do
Or am I just wasting my time?

Do you picture me with someone else
And feel it tear you apart?
Or am I the only one still bleeding
Still carrying this heart?

I hate thinking about you with someone else
Because I want to be that person
I wanted to be your forever
Not a lesson you forgot

Final Chorus (explosive)

You gave up on me
When I was fighting my hardest
I carried the weight of us both
And you still fucking dropped it

You don’t get to play the victim now
You don’t get to say you tried
You left me with the memories
While you just let it all die

Outro (cold, final)

I wanted a lifetime with you
Now it’s gone

Nothing Leaves This Room

The Plot In You
