(Verse 1)

I ripped my heart out, it’s all I had to give ya,

Doesn't matter now, you're gone and took my sunshine with ya.

Left me in this dusty town, this nowhere conversation,

Crumpled me like notebook paper, no hesitation.

(Chorus)

Choked on your rejection, a bitter aftertaste,

Like the whole damn world coughed me up and slammed my face.

Guess I wasn't pretty enough, my heart not quite the right shade,

Just another face to gather dust in your charade.

(Verse 2)

Maybe I was naive, thought forever wasn't just a lie,

We built castles out of records, thought our love would touch the sky.

But the needle scratched the vinyl, the music slowly halts,

Now the silence screams your name, and I’m the one at fault.

(Repeat Chorus,)

(Bridge)

Fading, fading, like the colors on a bruise,

The memory of your laughter, twisted and misused.

I wear your ghost like a hand-me-down, a size too small,

My new skin! Guess I’m nothing special after all.

(Repeat Chorus)

(Outro)

So I'll collect my shattered dreams and try to piece them back,

But the cracks will always show, a constant, burning track.

Oh, I fear the mirror, a haunting reflection,

Shattered by the emptiness, the blade of your rejection.
