I poured my soul into a hollow well,
And chased a ghost who never learned to stay.
You took my trust and turned it to a hell,
Using my heart to light your selfish way.
I burned in the hatred, I drowned in the loss,
Paying for love at a terrible cost.
But the chains that you made are now falling apart,
And the pieces you broke are a brand new heart.
Out of the shadow, away from the pain,
I’m washing your memory out in the rain.
The bleeding cuts of cold, unshared desire,
Became a bitter hate that burned my chest.
I lost myself within that blinding fire,
Believing pain was all I possessed.
I burned in the hatred, I drowned in the loss,
Paying for love at a terrible cost.
But the chains that you made are now falling apart,
And the pieces you broke are a brand new heart.
Out of the shadow, away from the pain,
I’m washing your memory out in the rain.
But ashes clear when winter storms subside,
And hatred is too heavy a weight to bear.
I found my worth beneath the tears I cried,
And stepped away from shadows of despair.
I burned in the hatred, I drowned in the loss,
Paying for love at a terrible cost.
But the chains that you made are now falling apart,
And the pieces you broke are a brand new heart.
Out of the shadow, away from the pain,
I’m washing your memory out in the rain.
The void you left is filled with quiet peace,
An open sky where captive birds go free.
The anger died, the heavy chains release,
And love returns — but this time, back to me.
