Lyrics
Intro
What's the point of breaking me
Just to have a shell of me
Using me, squeezing me, emptying me
Now you're moving on
At least, it seems you are
But you're obsessing
It's stifling
How could you be okay with you
Pieces of me, broken, sharpened
Now it's a knife in your neck
We're both bleeding red
Cause what did you expect
The monster you made
Too dark for you now
Rap
Fallen star you had my wings in your hands
Crushed my dreams made it hard for us
My crumbles like a shell you keep crushing
Ground to powder , I'll rub it all over you
You don't get to do me like this and run
You don't get to make me question my reality then escape
I still find it hard to see you for the beast you were
I know monsters don't always crawl scary
Sometimes they whisper in your ears and swap you out,
Now I'm lost confused
Who am I
Who is this
What you done with me
What is this
Can't say your name without a cuss accompanying
Still have to constantly tell me you were the bad one
You had the advantage but twisted and made me take responsibility
My heart was never yours but you had a hold of it
Made me listen to all of you yet I'm never heard
Knew your friends they never heard my name, not once
Times passed and now you texting again
Want to know if ur fangs are still in
Well it's cool
Those fangs are mine now
The venom in my veins will reach you
It's marinated long enough
You know what
You get to move on
I let you out of my mind, my sight, my vein, my vision
Just keep your senses up cause even your eyes won't see me strike
Chorus
What's the point of breaking me
Just to have a shell of me
Using me, squeezing me, emptying me
Now you're moving on
At least, it seems you are
But you're obsessing
It's stifling
How could you be okay with you
Pieces of me, broken, sharpened
Now it's a knife in your neck
We're both bleeding red
Cause what did you expect
The monster you made
Too dark for you now
I'm not moving on
You can't move on
We're stuck in here together now
oh we stuck (we stuck)
I'm moving on
You can move on too
