You Wish I Was Dead Lyrics

In the shadows of our whispers, you echo a chilling dread

Behind closed doors and silent wars, you wish I was dead

Walking through this house in mirrors, my flexures twist and turn

Each glance a blade, the price I paid, in your eyes I burn

You say it with silence, you shout it in your head

With every cold goodbye, I hear the words unsaid

It's a poison drip from your lips, I'm drinking deep in your quiet disdain

Secrets you keep, why so bitter

Wraps in regret, every moment with me, a moment you forget

You wish I was dead, buried and gone

Out of your life, no right, no wrong

You wish I was dead, so you could breathe

Every moment with me, a moment you forget

You wish I was dead, buried and gone

Out of your life, no right, no wrong

You wish I was dead, so you could breathe

Without my shadow, so you believe

Haunted by the ghosts of smiles we used to share

Now all we have are the storms we barely bear

Was it something I said, or just everything I am

Your cold shoulder turns colder, this love is just a sham

Accusations fly like sparks in the night

Where love once lived, now only fight

Turn away your face, in your heart I'm led

To the gallows built by every word you've never said

You wish I was dead, to the world and to you

Easier to erase than to face what's true

You wish I was dead, but I'm still here

Fighting for a love that you've left there

Not the villain in your story's thread

Not the monster under your bed

But if setting me free is what you need

Consider your wish a heart free to bleed

Maybe one day you'll see the truth

In the ruins of our youth

For now I'll carry on, make my own way

In the light of a dawn where I no longer sway

Haunted by the ghost of smiles we used to share

Now all we have are the storms we barely bear

Was it something I said, or just everything I am

Your cold shoulder turns colder, the lead

Haunted by the ghost of smiles we used to share

Now all we have are the storms we barely bear

Was it something I said, or just everything I am

Your cold shoulder turns colder, the lead

In the echo of your steps walking away

I find the strength to endure one more day

Is there redemption, or just this slow fade

Under the weight of the hate you've made

Maybe one day you'll see the truth

In the ruins of our youth

For now I'll carry on, make my own way

In the light of a dawn where I no longer sway
