[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] Why’s the world stitched up with such cruel design? Why’s the dream I cling to always out of line? Why’s the nightmare I used to wake up from The exact same life I’m forced to numb? [Chorus] Why’d “I love you” turn to a knife in my chest? Why’d the lips that kissed me sweet now put me to test? You breathed life into my lungs, now you’re suffocating me Where there was peace, there’s a war that won’t let me be [Verse 2] Why’s the gaze that once poured honey now spit fire? Why’s the arms that held me safe now strike with ire? The hands that used to brush the hair off my face Now leave scars that time can’t erase? [Chorus] Why’d “I love you” turn to a knife in my chest? Why’d the lips that kissed me sweet now put me to test? You breathed life into my lungs, now you’re suffocating me Where there was peace, there’s a war that won’t let me be [Verse 3] Did we really shatter into pieces this far? Or was the love we swore just a carefully laid scar? We were friends, lovers, forever—so loud and so bright Now we’re enemies, haters, “never”—a cold, endless night [Chorus] Why’d “I love you” turn to a knife in my chest? Why’d the lips that kissed me sweet now put me to test? You breathed life into my lungs, now you’re suffocating me Where there was peace, there’s a war that won’t let me be [Verse 4] Can fate stitch us back, or is the thread all frayed? The man who knew my soul’s now a stranger I’m afraid to face I stood on the mountain with him, love singing through the air Now I’m in the valley alone, drowning in despair [Bridge] Who are we fighting? The ghost of what we had? Who are we hurting? The parts that still aren’t bad? Who are we kidding? Pretending we don’t care We’re slashing at our own hearts, not the ones who aren’t there [Chorus] Why’d “I love you” turn to a knife in my chest? Why’d the lips that kissed me sweet now put me to test? You breathed life into my lungs, now you’re suffocating me Where there was peace, there’s a war that won’t let me be [Outro] Why’s the world stitched up with such cruel design? Why’s the dream I cling to always out of line? (Instrumental Solo)
