[Intro]
I was drowning in grief, barely fucking breathing
World falling apart, heart barely beating
My dad was gone, my soul was shattered
And you chose that moment to prove I never mattered
You stabbed me when I was already on the floor
You hurt me when I couldn’t take shit anymore

[Verse 1]
Everything went dark the day he left this world
And I needed love, not a heartless girl
I needed someone to hold me, not tear me apart
But you chose chaos and knives straight through my heart
You said “I love you” then twisted the blade
Smiled while watching my sanity fade
You walked away like I was nothing to you
Like losing my dad wasn’t already hell to get through
You didn’t just break me, you buried me deeper
Cold-hearted bitch, you turned pain into a fucking creeper
And now you show up acting like I should care
Talking forgiveness like I’d still be there?

[Pre-Chorus]
Nah…
You don’t get to cry now, you don’t get to play sweet
You don’t get to beg now, crawling back to my feet
Where the fuck were you when I was bleeding inside?
You chose to hurt me instead of staying by my side

[Chorus]
You hurt me right after I lost my dad
At my weakest moment, you chose to go bad
And now you expect me to care?
Now you expect me to stand right there?
Nah, you’re dead to me, you’re gone like the wind
I’m done letting your poison crawl under my skin
You broke me when I was already falling apart
Now you don’t get shit, not a breath, not a heart

[Verse 2]
You knew I was grieving, you fucking knew
And still you chose destruction, that’s the real you
You couldn’t handle my pain, couldn’t handle my tears
So you added more trauma to my fucked up fears
You didn’t offer comfort, you didn’t bring light
You turned love into war, made my world a fight
I begged for peace, I begged you to stay
Instead you chose to hurt me and walk away
And now you wanna talk like nothing happened?
Like I should “understand,” like this shit just happens?
You want forgiveness, you want a chance?
Bitch, I survived hell, I’m done with your dance

[Pre-Chorus]
You had your moment to prove you cared
And when I needed you most, you weren’t fucking there
You taught me something brutal but true
When life hurts the worst, I can’t count on you

[Chorus]
You hurt me right after I lost my dad
Kicked me while I was shattered and sad
And now you expect me to care?
Expect me to stand right there?
Nah, you’re dead to me, erased, gone from my soul
I’m stitching up my heart, reclaiming control
You broke me when I had nothing left to lose
Now I choose me… and I won’t choose you

[Bridge]
I cried for months, you know that shit?
You watched my world burn and didn’t do shit
I screamed inside, but I stayed quiet outside
Now I finally see your truth, no love in your eyes
So take your apologies, your guilt, your fake tears
I lived enough heartbreak to last me years
I won’t carry your weight, I won’t wear your chains
I’m done letting you live inside my pain

[Final Chorus]
You hurt me right after I lost my dad
And that’s something I’ll never forget, never take back
You want me now because you see I survived
But you weren’t there when I barely stayed alive
So no, I won’t be there, I won’t give a damn
You’re dead to me now, I finally understand
You broke me at my weakest, that’s who you are
But I walked out the fire stronger with scars

[Outro]
So live with what you did, live with who you chose to be
You lost the right to ever fucking reach for me
I loved you once… but that version of me is gone
You hurt me at my lowest…
Now I move the fuck on.

You Hurt Me When I Was Already Broken

Gotta gotta stay down because I want it all

Mr Brightside

i hate walking in the dark when i'm walking home
there ain't a better place for me to feel alone
used up, i don't move much
you been clouding up my vision, you been blowing smoke
i let you closer than you should've gone
my mistake, i guess i should've known
now i'm supposed to flex like a price check
but you're like the devil, you gonna throw me to the flames, oh

nothing really matters anyway
and i don't want to play these fucking games no more
been running round in circles every day
and you been on and off for a while now
i'm not about to drop everything
yeah if i don't mean anything then I'm already gone
so turn the lights out, out 

i don't need nobody like you
i'm alone and i'm doomed
i don't need nobody like you
and i'm so sick from breathing in fumes
i don't need nobody like

i'm drinking out here in the valley staring at my phone
there ain't a better place for me to feel alone
three o' clock and i'm awake and glossy-eyed
you got me feeling so hot and cold 
baby i'm tryna hit you but you mixing signals
i'm mixing my liquor it's drowing my head cuz 
with every letter you send, i'm going insane
you got me feeling like i won't ever see the end, oh

nothing really matters anyway
you got me wrapped around your finger like a diamond ring
been running round in circles every day
and you been on and off for a while now
i'm not about to drop everything
yeah if i don't mean anything then i'm already gone
so turn the lights out, out 

i don't need nobody like you
i'm alone and I'm doomed
i don't need nobody like you
and I'm so sick from breathing in fumes
i don't need nobody like

my brain: spinning seven, eight shots deep
my heart: pumping venom through my body
wanna sleep but my eyes: bloodshot
who, who's this girl in my bed? It's not you

Nobody Like You

If I said what I mean to say
Would you understand
even brightest days
Feel like a light to lose 

Cause there ain't a bitter place
That I haven't been
And I'm always scared
It's the pain I fear I’ll choose

It could fall Down
you let it slip into your head
As the weight all sinks into your skin
And I’m falling 
Down
It’s getting easy to descend
And I can’t forfeit one more breath

If you knew my faces
You’d know I’m fading 
You’d know I’m falling from the clouds
If you knew my spaces
You’d know I’m breaking 
You know I’m lost without the clouds
And I can’t get back
Lost without the clouds 
And I can’t get back
Oh no

Maybe the best escape Is the hardest way 
Through the darkest shade
With a sober taste of truth

Tired of running away
And creating space
For this shameful game
Where there’s always one more right to prove

It could fall Down
you let it slip into your head
As the weight all sinks into your skin
And I’m falling 
Down
It’s getting easy to descend
And I can’t forfeit one more breath

If you knew my faces
You’d know I’m fading 
You’d know I’m falling from the clouds
If you knew my spaces
You’d know I’m breaking 
You know I’m lost without the clouds
And I can’t get back
I’m Lost without the clouds 
And I can’t get back
Oh no

Arrogant

It's about my biggest fear of being stuck in a situation with no power to affect it. It's not a quiet feeling, it's not a creeper. Life happens in phases…no situation lasts forever, there is never a situation where you have no power to affect it. I wanted to capture, have forever and use in times of need.

'Phases' is the first track from my upcoming EP 'Angels Devils & Empty Vessels'. 

'Phases' release date: August 14
'Angels Devils & Empty Vessels' EP release date: September 11
