(Verse 1)

I don’t love you no more, the embers turned to ash and dust,

No flicker in the darkness, no lingering trust.

I don’t care about you crying on the floor, a scene I’ve seen before,

Each tear a hollow echo, knocking at a bolted door.

I don’t need you no more, the chains have finally snapped and frayed,

From promises whispered softly, then carelessly betrayed.

I don’t want you to love me no more, that poisoned chalice I refuse,

Your affection now a burden, a bitter, fading bruise.

(Chorus)

Say that you love me, a whisper from a ghost I used to know,

Turn around, then backstab me, a cruel, familiar, fatal blow.

All the pain of forgiveness, a heavy cloak I tried to wear,

Even time, a supposed healer, couldn't fix this deep despair.

Like a fool begs for supper, a hunger I can’t quite explain,

I find myself waiting for her, through sunshine and through pouring rain.

Only to find the broken pieces of my heart, scattered on the ground,

Each shard a painful memory, a silent, haunting sound.

These fragments, once vibrant, were needed for my soul,

To learn to breathe again, to finally make me whole.

(Verse 2)

I don’t see you no more, your face a fading photograph,

Lost in the shifting shadows, on a divergent path.

I don’t care about life changing up the score, the game has long been done,

No victory, no solace, just battles lost and won.

I don’t feel you no more, the phantom touch has disappeared,

No warmth within the silence, no future to be feared.

I don’t want you to love me no more, a truth I whisper to the breeze,

To sever every tether, and finally find some ease.

(Chorus)

Say that you love me, a whisper from a ghost I used to know,

Turn around, then backstab me, a cruel, familiar, fatal blow.

All the pain of forgiveness, a heavy cloak I tried to wear,

Even time, a supposed healer, couldn't fix this deep despair.

Like a fool begs for supper, a hunger I can’t quite explain,

I find myself waiting for her, through sunshine and through pouring rain.

Only to find the broken pieces of my heart, scattered on the ground,

Each shard a painful memory, a silent, haunting sound.

These fragments, once vibrant, were needed for my soul,

To learn to breathe again, to finally make me whole.

(Bridge)

And in the quiet aftermath, where silence starts to mend,

I gather up the fragments, knowing this must be the end.

No grand reunion waiting, no turning back the tide,

Just the slow, arduous journey, with nowhere left to hide.

The echoes of your laughter, now just a distant hum,

My spirit, bruised but rising, from where it had become numb.

(Outro)

No, I don’t love you no more… the truth begins to bloom.

No, I don’t need you no more… escaping from the gloom.

And these broken pieces, they will guide me through the night,

Towards a dawn unburdened, towards my own new light.

To love again… to truly love again…

Without the shadow, without the pain.
