Original song (C) Oden Eriksson

Fray

Verse 1
I sleep with silence in my chest
A weight that never lets me rest
You lit a match, then disappeared
Now every breath is soaked in fear

Pre-Chorus
Trapped between the "used to be"
And who I am when you’re with me
I swallowed pride until it bled
Say the word, or leave me dead

Chorus
I bend, I bleed, I fray
I burn, I break, I stay
You struck the spark and left me blind
But I still ache, I still rewind
Call my name, don’t let it fade
I was the vow you never made

Verse 2
You left me standing in the cold
Still holding words I never told
You turned away, I stood alone
Now I wear silence like a stone

Pre-Chorus
You loved in shadows, never light
And I mistook that for a fight
You tore me down with every smile
Still I crawled the extra mile

Chorus
I bend, I bleed, I fray
I burn, I break, I stay
You struck the spark and left me blind
But I still ache, I still rewind
Call my name, don’t let it fade
I was the vow you never made

Bridge (Breakdown)
No words
No truth
Just the sting of what we lose
You turned the key
I watched it close

Final Chorus
I bend, I bleed, I fray
I burn, I break, I stay
You struck the match and turned to stone
But I still feel it in my bones
Say my name before it fades
I was the vow you never made

Outro (whispers or layered)
I bend
I break
I wait
