Lyrics

Intro

I gave you every last match in my hand

Now watch me leave with the smoke on my skin

Verse 1

You kept a ledger of every mistake

Held it up any time I tried to speak

I learned to apologize before I knew

What I was sorry for, what belonged to you

Pre-Chorus

I bit my tongue till the taste turned copper

You called it love when I made myself smaller

Chorus

I have no more blood to bleed for you

No last excuse, no debt to undo

You took your share, now the door swings wide

I won't stay here just to prove I survived

I have no more blood to bleed for you

Verse 2

Your empty promise still sits by the sink

Beside the chipped cup you never would drink

I packed the jacket you said looked like me

Left you the key and the blame you could keep

Pre-Chorus

I bit my tongue till the taste turned copper

You called it love when I made myself smaller

Chorus

I have no more blood to bleed for you

No last excuse, no debt to undo

You took your share, now the door swings wide

I won't stay here just to prove I survived

I have no more blood to bleed for you

Rap Verse

You made a courtroom out of our kitchen

Every small truth got crossed and convicted

I wore your verdict like a second name

Kept taking the hit just to quiet the blame

Now count the silence, count what you're owed

I'm done carrying both ends of this rope

You can keep the story where I'm the knife

I know what it cost me to get my life

Bridge

Don't call me cruel for closing the gate

You had my whole heart; you chose what to break

I'm not your shelter, your witness, your proof

I'm leaving the wreckage—and leaving you

Final Chorus

I have no more blood to bleed for you

No last excuse, no debt to undo

You took your share, now the door swings wide

I won't stay here just to prove I survived

I have no more blood to bleed for you

No more, no more—I'm through

Outro

I left the key

I kept my name
