Left Behind

Everybody said they'd stay...

Everybody fucking lied.

Yeah...

I don't miss you.

I miss who I thought you were.

Wake up pissed with your ghost in my bed,

Cold-ass room and a war in my head.

You took the light, left the dark instead,

Now I'm feeding old memories the things you said.

Everybody leaves when the cracks start showing,

Nobody stays when the black starts growing.

I gave you my heart, you gave me a warning—

Should've known your forever would die by the morning.

I don't cry now, I just stare at the wall,

Watch the paint peel while I wait for the fall.

You were the voice in my head when it was all too loud,

Now I'm screaming in a room and nobody's around.

So don't fucking tell me that you understand,

You weren't there when I lost who I am.

You got to walk away, you got to feel alive—

I got buried in the moment you said goodbye.

YOU LEFT ME BEHIND!

IN THE STATIC, IN THE DARK, IN THE BACK OF MY MIND!

I GAVE YOU MY HEART—YOU GAVE ME A KNIFE!

NOW I'M CUTTING YOUR NAME OUT OF WHAT'S LEFT OF MY LIFE!

I'M LEFT BEHIND!

EVERYBODY'S GONE BUT THE PAIN'S STILL ALIVE!

YOU FOUND A WAY OUT, I WAS TOO FUCKING LATE—

SO I ROT WITH THE MEMORY OF EVERYTHING YOU SAID!

LEFT! BEHIND!

Fuck your apologies, fuck your excuses,

Fuck every promise that you left me to lose with.

You said I was home, then you burned it to ashes,

Now I sift through the wreckage and laugh like a madman.

Maybe I was too much, maybe you were too little,

Maybe loving you was digging my own fucking grave in the middle

Of a city full of people who don't know my name,

They see me still breathing and think I'm okay.

But I hate this town and I hate these nights,

Hate that your memory still feels alive.

Hate that I still fucking look at the door,

Like you're gonna come back and make me whole.

Come back.

No—

Don't.

I don't know which one hurts more.

YOU LEFT ME BEHIND!

NOW THE DARK IS THE ONLY THING THAT STAYS BY MY SIDE!

I GAVE YOU MY SOUL—YOU GAVE ME A SCAR!

NOW I'M WEARING THE DAMAGE LIKE IT'S WHO THE FUCK I ARE!

I'M LEFT BEHIND!

BUT I WON'T LET YOU KILL WHAT'S LEFT INSIDE!

I'LL CRAWL THROUGH THE STATIC, I'LL BLEED THROUGH THE NIGHT—

IF I CAN'T FIND THE LIGHT...

I'LL BECOME THE FUCKING NIGHT.

You left me behind...

Good.

Now there's nothing left for you to take.
