Underneath

Ooh, aah

Everything burned that day
And the walls learned how to pray
They said I lied, they screamed so loud
The truth got lost inside the sound

I begged the ground to swallow me whole
To hide the war inside my soul
They threw their words like gasoline
And watched the fire spread within

I tried to speak, but no one cared
They stared through me like I wasn't there
If pain had hands, it touched my skin
And whispered, you'll never heal again

Please tell me, can you hear my ghost?
I'm still screaming from the smoke
You said it's love, but it's a cage
You called me wrong, but I was brave

Am I enough? Am I too much?
You burned me down and called it love
Every sorry just repeats
The same knife underneath

I still hear your voice in empty rooms
Like echoes trapped inside the gloom
You said: You're fine, but I was gone
Just ashes humming broken songs

You spilled your anger on my skin
Rubbed it in till I gave in
You didn't see the blood inside
You just turned away and let me die

I tried to speak, but no one cared
They stared through me like I wasn't there
If pain had hands, it touched my skin
And whispered, you'll never heal again

Please tell me, can you hear my ghost?
I'm still screaming from the smoke
You said it's love, but it's a cage
You called me wrong, but I was brave

Am I enough? Am I too much?
You burned me down and called it love
Every sorry just repeats
The same knife underneath

You said I'd thank you one day for all the pain you gave away
But if this is love, I want no part
It only left holes in my heart
I tried to fix what you destroyed, built a heart from all the noise
You said: It's love, but it felt like pain like dancing barefoot in the rain
You looked at me but never saw the broken kid behind it all
You said: You're fine but I was not, you rubbed my harm like I was stained
You knew I'm bleeding, yet you stayed, I can't escape for all this pain
They call my name but's not the same
And nothing can erase it, nothing never will

Ah, ah
Aah

You said: Forget, but I still see
The fire living inside of me
