[Verse 1]

You keep my name in your mouth like a prayer

But every word comes out like a blade

You say you miss me then call me heartless

Like guilt is how love gets remade

You text my friends you haunt the hallway

You wear my past like borrowed skin

Every party has your shadow

Every room lets poison in


[Pre-Chorus]

And you say I only act this way because I care

Funny how your love feels like a dare

You pull the rope I cut it clean

Then you tie it back around the scene


[Chorus]

You want me back in your orbit

Spinning till I cannot brеathe

You break me down thеn call it passion

Begging on your bloody knees

You want my heart in a cage again

You want my hands on the bars

But I have loved you enough to know

Some people are just scars


[Verse 2]

You tell them all I left you broken

Like you did not sharpen every crack

You make me cruel for walking forward

Make yourself holy looking back

You say mean things then say you're sorry

Like sorry wipes the ceiling clean

But I remember every corner

Where you tried to make me small and sweet


[Pre-Chorus 2]

And I have wished you would disappear

Not in a way I would confess too near

I will not wreck my life for rage

I will not make your ghost a cage


[Chorus]

You want me back in your orbit

Spinning till I cannot breathe

You break me down then call it passion

Begging on your bloody knees

You want my heart in a cage again

You want my hands on the bars

But I have loved you enough to know

Some people are just scars


[Bridge]

I see you laughing with my friends

Like nothing ever burned

You make the world feel crowded

With lessons I already learned

And sometimes anger has a face

And sometimes peace feels far

But I will not go to prison

For a man who thinks he's art


[Breakdown]

So I leave you living breathing

Mad that I survived

You can keep your little kingdom

I am taking back my life


[Final Chorus]

You want me back in your orbit

But I am cutting through the sky

You can beg until the morning

I am not your alibi

You want my heart in a cage again

But I have found the door

And I have loved you enough to know

I do not live there anymore


[Outro]

You do not own me

You do not get the key

You do not get to ruin love

And call it missing me
