"Even After" lyrics

"Even After"

I didn't want to do this
I swear to God, I didn't
But you pushed me there
And now I can't breathe inside my own skin

I begged you to love me right
I begged you to see me
But you kept turning away
Kept leaving me empty

I laid in that bed
But my heart wasn't there
I was searching for something that should have been you
And now I hate myself for it

I let him hold me 'cause you wouldn't stay
I let him in 'cause you pushed me away
But every touch felt hollow, every kiss felt wrong
And the moment it was over, I knew where I belonged

Even after the sin, I still feel so broken
Even after the act, there's words left unspoken
I tried to find me, but I lost who I am
God knows this was never the plan
I gave my body, but my soul never moved
Even after I still love you

I keep scrubbing my skin like I can wash it away
But the guilt runs deeper than water can chase
I thought maybe the touch would make me feel alive
But instead, I feel numb while this part of me dies
You say I betrayed you, but baby, so did you
I just bled where you broke me, did what I swore I'd never do

I can't sleep I can't pray
I cannot run what I became
I whisper my sins into the dark
But even God don't take the blame

Even after the sin, I still feel so broken
Even after the act, there's pain left unspoken
I tried to find me, but I lost who I am
God knows this was never the plan
I gave my body, but my heart stayed with you
And even after I'm still yours

It wasn't love, it wasn't me
And it'll never set me free
