Chains

I gave you all my focus, every moment, every ounce of me You took my trust, broke it open like a robbery A mastermind thief, yeah, you studied every flaw in me Now I'm haunted by the ghost of what you promised me You fed me dreams just to shatter 'em with no regret Every word you said was poison that I can't forget. You knew my weakness, hit the core, made my soul a wreck Now I carry all this weight like there's a noose on my neck I held the rope, you tied the knot, then you let it swing Played me out like I'm a puppet, pulling every string I thought my love could be my armor, but it didn't cling Now I'm walking through my shadow, haunted by the sting Every crack in my foundation you exposed and used Every scar you left behind is just a hidden bruise I keep fighting through the storm, but it's a war I lose And every time I hear your name, it's like a burning fuse You broke my chain, left me dragging in the mud Now I'm running circles, trying to find where I was Every night's a fight, and every drink becomes my crutch Hating that I'd still choose you if it all came to us You broke my chain, left me dragging in the mud Now I'm running circles, trying to find where I was Every night's a fight, and every drink becomes my crutch Hating that I'd still choose you if it all came to us Every scar you left is deeper than the ones I show And every hit you took from me was just another blow You're the dealer, I'm the addict, couldn't tell you no I keep relapsing every time I think I've let you go You're a nightmare, but the dream of you keeps calling me The memories burn like they're carved into my arteries Every bridge I build back to myself, you set ablaze So I'm walking through my life trapped inside a fucking haze I try to stand, but every step feels it weighs a ton Every day's a battle fought, but you already won I gave you all my love and left myself with close to none Now I'm staring at the mirror, asking, What have I become You broke my chain, left me dragging in the mud Now I'm running circles, trying to find where I was Every night's a fight, and every drink becomes my crutch Hating that I'd still choose you if it all came to us You broke my chain, left me dragging in the mud Now I'm running circles, trying to find where I was Every night's a fight, and every drink becomes my crutch Hating that I'd still choose you if it all came to us You had the keys to my mind, and you locked me inside Every tear I ever shed, you just watched as I cried Now I'm walking tightrope between hate and regret Trying to love myself, but you're a debt I can't forget Every "sorry" was a setup, every smile was a lie Every moment that I gave you was fuel to divide Now I'm screaming at the mirror like it's holding your face Saying I'll be fine while I'm losing the race You broke my chain, left me dragging in the mud Now I'm running circles, trying to find where I was Every night's a fight, and every drink becomes my crutch Hating that I'd still choose you if it all came to us You broke my chain, left me dragging in the mud Now I'm running circles, trying to find where I was Every night's a fight, and every drink becomes my crutch Hating that I'd still choose you if it all came to us
