From the recording Voices I Wrote For
Lyrics
I couldn’t wait to bring you here,
Show you the places I hold dear.
But you dragged us down, you made a scene,
Stole the glow from everything.
I thought you’d love it the way I do,
But you poisoned it, and me, too.
You ruined this town, made me feel so small,
Separate rooms, no love at all.
Why bring me here just to watch me fade,
Turned my getaway into a cage.
You passed out drunk, left me to ache,
Treating my care like a cheap mistake.
I bit my tongue just to keep you calm,
Now every street feels like a scar.
I thought the streets would keep us safe,
But the way you behaved ; it was cruel, it was strange.
You ruined this town, made me feel so small,
Separate rooms, no love at all.
Why bring me here just to watch me fade,
Turned my getaway into a cage.
Bridge (bitter)
You sat me down just to watch me break,
Smiled at my tears like they were fake.
I gave you trust, you gave me disgrace,
Now I can’t stand the sight of this place.
Final Chorus (same, quiet → unraveling)
You ruined this town, made me feel so small,
Separate rooms, no love at all.
Why bring me here just to watch me fade,
Turned my getaway into a cage.
