A Different Bloom

Lyrics

(Verse 1) I never knew you could mourn a ghost that breathes Standing right beside you while the spirit leaves They say time heals, but it just builds a wall To hold the weight of the wounds, to stop the fall PTSD is a thief that steals the light Dragging me back to the middle of the night It feels like a fresh cut, a brand new sting Like the memory’s biting, a cruel, jagged thing. (Pre-Chorus) You call me soulmate, then you hide your phone Telling her you’re lonely, saying I’m the one you loathe You’re talking ‘bout our future, planning out our life While you’re whispering to her about a child and a wife How do you look me in the eye, so cold and so blind? While you’re living double, leaving me behind. (Chorus) The silence has begun, my heart had to flee I was forced to change who I used to be A new me is beginning to flourish, finally free From the toxic design that you built for me. (Verse 2) You scream "psychopath," "bitch," "pig," and "vain" But the words spoken in anger are the truth through the pain You apologize for the hits, the chaos, the fear But you meant every drop of the bitter, lonely tear Cheating isn’t a mistake, it’s a choice in the dark You left the scar, but I’m healing the mark. (Bridge) I’m physically present, but emotionally gone I don’t argue no more, I don’t try to move on I see through the game, I’m a step ahead now You can’t lie to a soul that’s broken the vow Everything special you gave to them too All those memories? I’m tearing them through. (Chorus) The silence has begun, my heart had to flee I was forced to change who I used to be A new me is beginning to flourish, finally free From the toxic design that you built for me. (Outro) You played with a life that I built on my own You tried to steal the seeds that I had already sown But the garden is mine, and the weeds are all gone The silence is sacred—and I’m finally moving on. (The silence has begun... I'm beginning to flourish.)
