[Verse 1] I was fine in the background Quiet life Steady pulse Clean air You arrived like a flash flood Called the ruin love Called it care You mapped cracks on my surface Told me they were signs I'd fade I believed every false word Till I saw what you had made [Pre-Chorus] You painted me in ashes Swore that I was flame But all the smoke was yours You just needed someone to blame [Chorus] It wasn't what you thought it was You weren't the cure You were the cut I wasn't broken till I met you You called it saving as you shut me down Look at me now I'm louder than your doubts I am whole without you now (yeah) I am whole without you now [Verse 2] You rebuilt me in your shape Tighter walls Smaller sky Thin air Every promise was duct tape Holding up your own despair I walked glass just to reach you Still you swore I couldn't stand Then I bled through your story Washed your name out of my hands [Pre-Chorus] You crowned yourself my savior Standing on my knees But once I found my balance You fell from that disease [Chorus] It wasn't what you thought it was You weren't the cure You were the cut I wasn't broken till I met you You called it saving as you shut me down Look at me now I'm louder than your doubts I am whole without you now (hey) I am whole without you now (hey) I am whole without you now [Bridge] You said I'd shatter if you walked away Funny how the silence sounds like grace Every scar a line I underline Proof I made it through your borrowed pain I'm not your project Not your fix I'm just the one who finally quit [Chorus] It wasn't what you thought it was You weren't the cure You were the cut I wasn't broken till I met you You called it saving as you shut me down Look at me now I'm louder than your doubts I am whole without you now (oh) I am whole without you now (yeah) I am whole without you now I am whole I am whole right now
