# **FACE YOUR SKELETONS**

**[Verse 1]**
You remember the woman you met?
Because I barely recognize her now.
She walked into rooms without fear,
She laughed too loud, she stood her ground.
She wasn't hiding from the fucking world,
She didn't live behind these walls.
Fifteen years didn't break me overnight—
It was one cut at a time that caused this fall.

And now I'm quiet.
Now I'm reclusive.
Now I question everything I see.
And you look at what I've become
Like somehow it happened without you touching me.

**[Pre-Chorus]**
I found the cracks.
I followed the lies.
I felt the truth before it ever reached my eyes.
And every damn time I put the proof in your face,
You deny, deny, deny—
Like denial somehow erases disgrace.

**[Chorus]**
Face your fucking skeletons.
Quit making me carry their bones.
Quit stuffing your secrets inside of my chest
Then wondering why this doesn't feel like home.

You want me to swallow the hurt
Because the truth makes *you* uncomfortable.
That's selfish.
That's cruel.
That's why we're fucking stuck.

You can't heal what you refuse to name.
You can't save what you keep dishonoring.
And you can't keep breaking a woman
Then blame her for bleeding.

**[Verse 2]**
You call it crazy when I feel something's wrong,
Until I find exactly what I felt all along.
A woman's intuition isn't your enemy—
Maybe it's the fact that yours can't hide from me.

I've brought things straight to your face,
Things I didn't imagine, things I didn't invent.
And somehow your answer is always the same:
Deny the evidence and attack the person it hurt.

Do you know what that does to somebody?
To know what she sees
And still be told not to believe her own eyes?
You don't just bury your secrets, Cliff—
You bury me beside them every time you lie.

**[Bridge]**
And if divorce is really what you want,
Then stand the fuck up and say it.
Be a man about the wreckage.
Be a man about the ending.
Be a man about the house before we fucking lose it.

Don't sit in the darkness
And let everything burn
Because facing yourself is harder
Than watching me hurt.

Sell the house.
Settle what needs settling.
Stop dragging us toward destruction
Just because you refuse to face
What you did to this marriage.

**[Breakdown]**
You didn't meet this version of me.

You helped create her.

The woman who stays home.
The woman who doesn't trust.
The woman whose mind never shuts off
Because she's learned there is always something else to find.

I wasn't born suspicious.
I wasn't born afraid.
I learned to look for the knife
Because I got tired of being surprised by the blade.

And still—
You want *me* to carry the silence
So *you* don't have to carry the shame.

Fuck that.

**[Final Chorus]**
Face your skeletons.
Every lie. Every secret. Every fucking bone.
Because I will not keep being their graveyard
Just so you can pretend you've done nothing wrong.

Fifteen years.
This didn't happen overnight.
You broke something in me piece by piece
And then stood there asking why I don't shine.

If this marriage is dead, then fucking say it.
If you want out, then quit hiding behind hate.
But if there's anything left worth saving,
Then truth is the price you're gonna have to pay.

Because I'm done carrying your darkness.
I'm done choking on what you won't admit.
And if you refuse to face your skeletons—

**Then you can fucking live with them.**
