Lyrics

Verse 1
I’m so happy you pushed me away,
Left me cold on the hottest of days.
I was drowning in your cruel disguise,
Now I’m free, but I’m paying the price.
Liz was my light, the love that was true,
The world stole her, and you broke me too.
I’m dreaming of heaven where her heart still glows,
While your hate’s all I’ve got to show.
Chorus
You broke me, Sam, you tore me apart,
Crushed my soul, left a hole in my heart.
But I’ll rise from the ashes of your cruel game,
Write my story in the fire and the pain.
I’m done with your screams, your venom, your lies,
I’ll swim in the stars where my spirit survives.
Thank you for showing me what I’ve lost,
I’m a loser who’s won at a hell of a cost.
Verse 2
True love’s out there, I still believe,
In passion that burns, in a heart that’s free.
But you taught me cruel love, selfish and cold,
Took my fire, left me out in the snow.
I begged you for kindness, for words soft and sweet,
But you screamed “hate,” threw my heart at your feet.
You broke every promise, let it all fall apart,
Now I’m stitching my soul with a songwriter’s heart.
Chorus
You broke me, Sam, you tore me apart,
Crushed my soul, left a hole in my heart.
But I’ll rise from the ashes of your cruel game,
Write my story in the fire and the pain.
I’m done with your screams, your venom, your lies,
I’ll swim in the stars where my spirit survives.
Thank you for showing me what I’ve lost,
I’m a loser who’s won at a hell of a cost.
Bridge
I see her face in the mirror’s glow,
Liz knew my heart, pure like winter’s snow.
You called me a loser, said I’d never win,
But her love’s in my veins, it’s where I begin.
I’ll sing for the nights I ran from your rage,
Turn pain into lyrics, my heart on the stage.
Hollywood’s calling, I’m chasing the sun,
With a check for the devil who thought I was done.
Chorus
You broke me, Sam, you tore me apart,
Crushed my soul, left a hole in my heart.
But I’ll rise from the ashes of your cruel game,
Write my story in the fire and the pain.
I’m done with your screams, your venom, your lies,
I’ll swim in the stars where my spirit survives.
Thank you for showing me what I’ve lost,
I’m a loser who’s won at a hell of a cost.
Outro
So here’s to the nights I cried on my own,
To the love that I lost, to the seeds that you’ve sown.
I’m alone but I’m stronger, my heart’s still alive,
With Ben by my side, I’m gonna thrive.
You broke me, Sam, but I’m not your fool,
I’m the man Liz loved, and I’ll break every rule.
On the hottest of days, in the coldest of pain,
I’ll find heaven with her, and I’ll love again.
