Lyrics • Your Loss

Intro

No sound. No warning. Just the moment it ends.

Verse 1

I’m locked on the screen, static in my head.

The room is full of air, but I’m choking instead.

Your words, so surgical, so sharp and so clean.

Slicing through the fabric of what we could’ve been!

No fire, no storm, no "declaration of war".

Just the quiet kind of damage that I can't ignore.

I didn’t move, I didn’t reach for the phone.

I just stood in the silence... Let it sink into my bones!

Pre-chorus

You chose your peace.

I lost my ground!

Two different endings.

Same moment, same sound!

Chorus

You chose peace, I watched it collapse!

Everything built turned to dust and to ash!

I stood there silent, losing it all.

Wide awake while I watched it fall!

You chose peace, I didn’t fight.

I let the future fade... Out of sight!

Verse 2

Now I’m replaying your words like a crime scene file.

Every sentence is a bridge that I’ve burned for a mile.

You weren't cruel, weren't cold, just final and clear.

But the truth feels like glass when it starts to appear!

I felt the weight hit my chest like a physical blow.

Not the pain—just the emptiness of letting it go.

Standing perfectly still while the floor gives way.

Knowing nothing I scream... Is gonna make you stay!

Pre-chorus

You chose your calm.

I swallowed mine.

You closed the door.

I read the sign!

Chorus

You chose peace, I watched it collapse!

Every future in pieces of glass!

I stood there silent, losing it all.

Wide awake while I watched it fall!

You chose peace, I didn’t break.

I let it burn for closure’s sake!

Bridge

I didn’t beg!

I didn’t scream!

I let it die!

Inside of me!

I gave you truth!

You gave me space!

That’s how it ends.

No blame, no chase!

I let it die!

I let it die!

I let it goooo!

Final chorus

You chose peace, I watched it collapse!

But I stayed standing in the aftermath!

I stood there silent, losing it all.

Wide awake while I watched it fall!

You chose peace, I let it go.

This is the moment I lose control!

Outro

Standing in silence...

Watching it fall.

No sound.
