The Final Beat

 

Verse 1

I stood there shaking in the pouring rain,

Holding every word I couldn't contain.

A thousand sleepless nights behind my eyes,

Building up the courage through the lies.

 

I said, "You're the reason that I still believe,

The only light I see when I can't breathe."

My heart was open, naked in my hands,

Waiting for you to understand.

 

Pre-Chorus

But your smile turned cold,

Like a knife made out of stone...

 

Chorus

You laughed at my confession, watched me fall apart,

Reached inside my chest and ripped out my heart.

Threw it on the floor like it meant nothing at all,

Watched it hit the ground and heard the pieces fall.

 

Then you stepped down hard as it begged for one more start,

Crushing every dream I carried from the start.

I watched it beat slower in the dark,

One final pump... one final spark.

 

Verse 2

The room went silent, everything turned gray,

You walked away while I just faded away.

The echoes of your laughter filled the air,

Like a ghost reminding me you never cared.

 

Every promise that I built inside my head,

Joined the broken pieces lying there instead.

The bloodstains spelled a story on the floor,

Of a man who couldn't take much more.

 

Pre-Chorus

You never saw the storm,

You only watched me drown.

 

Chorus

You laughed at my confession, watched me fall apart,

Reached inside my chest and ripped out my heart.

Threw it on the floor like it meant nothing at all,

Watched it hit the ground and heard the pieces fall.

 

Then you stepped down hard as it begged for one more start,

Crushing every dream I carried from the start.

I watched it beat slower in the dark,

One final pump... one final spark.

 

Bridge

Now every night I hear that final sound,

The fading rhythm as it slowed down.

A heartbeat dying underneath your feet,

Still trying somehow not to miss a beat.

 

And even now through all the scars you left,

A broken soul still fights what came next.

But some wounds never really heal,

And some heartbreaks are too real.

 

Final Chorus

You laughed at my confession, watched me come undone,

Turned my brightest hope into a setting sun.

My heart lay shattered where you left it in the dark,

Fading with the echoes of its final spark.

 

And as the last beat vanished into night,

I finally saw the truth inside your eyes.

You walked away while I fell apart,

Leaving your footprints on my broken heart.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Imagine standing in the pouring rain

confessing your love to the one that means the world to you,

Only for them to mock you and rip your heart out of your chest.
