Lyrics

[male vocals] Yeah.

Some

lessons

are

learned

in

the

silence.

They

say

you

don't

know

what

you

got

'til

it's

gone.

But

you

didn't

just

lose

me,

Stephen.

You

lost

yourself

in

the

process.

Check

it.

I'm

sitting

in

this

room,

watching

shadows

on

the

wall

Thinking

'bout

the

way

you

made

me

feel

so

small

You

were

playing

games,

moving

pieces

on

the

board

While

I

was

giving

you

the

loyalty

I

couldn't

afford

It's

funny

how

the

snake

always

shows

its

skin

I

let

you

in

the

house,

you

let

the

rot

begin

I

see

the

late

nights,

the

cryptic

texts

on

the

phone

Now

I'm

standing

in

the

wreckage,

but

I'm

standing

alone

You

thought

you

were

winning,

playing

both

sides

deep

But

promises

you

made

were

just

secrets

you

couldn't

keep

I

poured

my

spirit

out,

invested

in

the

dream

Now

I'm

waking

up

to

see

it

wasn't

what

it

seemed.

You

can't

steal

from

your

own

pocket,

baby

That's

a

lesson

that

you're

gonna

learn

lately

You

traded

gold

for

a

handful

of

dirt

Now

you're

left

holding

onto

nothing

but

the

hurt

Yeah,

you

robbed

yourself

when

you

cheated

on

me

Now

you're

trapped

in

the

cage

that

you

wanted

to

be

Yeah,

you

robbed

yourself

when

you

cheated

on

me.

It's

a

heavy

kind

of

silence

when

the

truth

hits

home

Knowing

I

was

loyal

while

you

were

out

there

prone

To

every

little

flicker,

every

shiny

new

toy

I

wasn't

looking

for

a

fling,

I

wasn't

looking

for

a

boy

I

was

building

up

a

kingdom,

brick

by

heavy

brick

But

your

foundation

was

shaking,

yeah,

your

heart

was

sick

You

think

you're

clever,

stealing

time

behind

my

back

But

you're

just

a

train

wreck

running

off

the

track

I

look

in

the

mirror,

I

see

a

man

who

stood

tall

While

you're

just

a

memory

fading

in

the

hall

Keep

the

shadows,

keep

the

lies,

keep

the

hollow

prize

I'm

opening

the

windows,

seeing

clear

through

the

skies.

You

can't

steal

from

your

own

pocket,

baby

That's

a

lesson

that

you're

gonna

learn

lately

You

traded

gold

for

a

handful

of

dirt

Now

you're

left

holding

onto

nothing

but

the

hurt

Yeah,

you

robbed

yourself

when

you

cheated

on

me

Now

you're

trapped

in

the

cage

that

you

wanted

to

be

Yeah,

you

robbed

yourself

when

you

cheated

on

me.

It

wasn't

about

the

money

or

the

things

we

had

It

was

the

ghost

of

the

good

times

turning

real

bad

You

devalued

the

currency,

broke

the

trust

chain

Now

you're

standing

in

the

middle

of

your

own

damn

rain

I'm

walking

out,

leaving

the

keys

on

the

stand

You

finally

lost

the

best

thing

in

your

hand.

So

here's

the

final

chapter

of

the

book

we

wrote

I'm

done

being

the

anchor,

I'm

done

being

the

boat

Go

find

a

new

victim

to

play

your

little

part

'Cause

I'm

reclaiming

the

pieces

of

my

hollowed-out

heart

I'm

stronger

for

the

struggle,

I'm

wiser

for

the

pain

And

you're

just

a

lesson

I'm

never

repeating

again

Stephen

moving

forward,

leaving

yesterday

behind

Peace

of

mind

is

the

only

thing

I'm

trying

to

find.

You

can't

steal

from

your

own

pocket,

baby

That's

a

lesson

that

you're

gonna

learn

lately

You

traded

gold

for

a

handful

of

dirt

Now

you're

left

holding

onto

nothing

but

the

hurt

Yeah,

you

robbed

yourself

when

you

cheated

on

me

Now

you're

trapped

in

the

cage

that

you

wanted

to

be

Yeah,

you

robbed

yourself

when

you

cheated

on

me.

Yeah,

you

robbed

yourself.

It's

all

in

the

math,

you

know?

Subtraction,

division.

You

never

learned

how

to

add.

It's

over.

Just

dust

in

the

wind

now.

Yeah.
