[verse 1]

I begged for peace

From the hands that broke me

Asked for grace

From the mouth that never spoke it

You watched me drown in guilt you poured

And called it healing

[pre-Chorus]

I wore your silence like a sentence

But I was never the one who said

[Chorus]

Absolution nothing

You never meant to forgive

You just wanted me to bleed for it

I tore myself apart to make you whole

[verse 2]

But you were already gonе

I traced your absence

Likе it was scripture

Built altars from the wreckage

And prayed to a version of you

That never answered

[pre-Chorus]

I wore your memory like a wound

But I was never the one who left

[Chorus]

Absolution nothing

You never meant to forgive

You just wanted me to bleed for it

I tore myself apart to make you whole

[bridge]

But you were already gone

I gave you every apology

You never heard

And still you held the knife

Like it was mine

[Chorus]

Absolution nothing

I’m done asking for grace

From someone who never had any

I tore myself apart to make you whole

But I was never broken

Until you made me believe I was
