Lyrics

Verse 1

I’m raising the white flag now,

I have no energy left to fight for us.

I spent the night plotting a solution,

and you were surrendering to sleep without a worry.

Every night is a new battle,

and I’m the only soldier in the trench.

Your face has become the face of a stranger,

so cold, so foreign to my love.

When did you become an expert in ignorance?

How did you forget the language of embrace?

Pre-Chorus

I’m screaming at the top of my lungs,

but the sound won’t leave my throat.

My words no longer find their way to your ears,

as if you are willfully deaf.

I sent you distress signals,

and you replied with, “Are you okay?”

My God, instead of supporting me,

you were driving me straight into madness!

Chorus

I can’t breathe—this weight is too heavy for my chest to bear!

I kept saying, “I’ll stay,”

but my soul was screaming, “I wish I hadn’t!”

Stop treating me like a burden,

stop making me the victim you slowly kill!

You will live the rest of your life under the curse of this regret!

I surrender—

and this is the first time I do it with complete bitterness!

Hook

“All of this fighting… for nothing?”

Verse 2

I stand here now,

and I realize I was a mere piece on a chessboard.

You slowly moved me toward the edge,

enjoying the sight of my confusion.

Even those stories we told everyone—

they were just a script written by you.

Everything was an elaborate lie,

and you were laughing at my foolishness.

And I agree with you now,

there is nothing left worth saving here.

Bridge

I sent out one last distress signal,

put it in a bottle, and tossed it into your sea.

I knew you wouldn’t answer,

but I begged the last sliver of hope in my chest.

My God, how could you let me stay at your mercy all this time?

I was searching for one reason to stay,

you gave me a thousand reasons to leave in pain.

And now silence is the answer—

and the answer is: you have lost me forever.

Final Chorus

Where am I?

Can you guide me back to who I was before I loved you?

You asked me to be strong

while you quietly drained all my strength.

Stop making me a burden—

I no longer see anything worth mentioning in this world.

You will keep searching for the woman you killed inside me
