Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I built up a fortress to keep out the rain,
Absorbing the echoes of all of your pain.
I was the witness to the wars in your head,
Painting the “alive” in the parts that were dead.
The one who sat through the salt of your tears,
Silencing the whispers that rang in your ears.
Serving the one who would fail me the most,
The only real thing that you ever could boast.
[Chorus]
And “thank you” feels like a strange thing to say,
But thank God you’re the one who walked away.
Because I was too loyal, I was too deep in the fire,
Counting the heartbeats you’d eventually tire.
I shudder to think how I’d still be your slave,
If you hadn’t forgotten the mercy I gave.
[Hook]
One is a traitor, the other’s a whore to the past,
A toxic little duo that was destined to crash.
[Verse 2]
It’s not the sting of a rival, it’s the stench of the past,
A cycle of wreckage you swore wouldn’t last.
She’s the same “third party” who tore you apart,
The one who left bruises all over your heart.
You’ve knelt at the feet of the one who despised you,
Spitting on the hand that kept you from the edge.
I’m disgusted you’d offer her a seat at our table,
To rewrite a history you know is a fable.
[Hook]
One is a traitor, the other’s a whore to the past,
A toxic little duo that was destined to crash.
[Rap Verse]
Block me, hate me, do what you do,
Nothing can hide the fake inside of you.
You traded a sanctuary for a den of thieves,
I’m the only one winning the moment I leave.
She’s your sidekick? Nah, she’s your mirror,
The closer you get, the truth gets clearer.
Two traitors in a pod, what a perfect view,
I’m disgusted I ever shared a table with you.
[Verse 3]
I was a prisoner to the “good” I saw in you,
Bleeding my light just to color your blue.
I defended your honor when you had none to show,
I was the wind that allowed you to grow.
Now you’ve traded a diamond for a handful of glass,
And I’ll watch the “nothing” you are finally pass.
[Outro]
Go back to your friend — you look so much like her now,
I’m breaking the silence, I’m breaking the vow.
Keep her insults, they suit you just fine,
I’m erasing the day I ever called you mine.
Go back to her.
You’re finally at your level
I built up a fortress to keep out the rain,
Absorbing the echoes of all of your pain.
I was the witness to the wars in your head,
Painting the “alive” in the parts that were dead.
The one who sat through the salt of your tears,
Silencing the whispers that rang in your ears.
Serving the one who would fail me the most,
The only real thing that you ever could boast.
[Chorus]
And “thank you” feels like a strange thing to say,
But thank God you’re the one who walked away.
Because I was too loyal, I was too deep in the fire,
Counting the heartbeats you’d eventually tire.
I shudder to think how I’d still be your slave,
If you hadn’t forgotten the mercy I gave.
