[Verse 1] I’ve seen the warning written underneath the beauty Felt the silence hiding somewhere in the ache I’ve watched the longing turn into something corrosive Watched love dissolve into a thing we couldn’t name
You learned to wear the damage like a language So people knew the risk before they stayed But knowing what you are is not the ending It’s just the point where something else can change
[Pre-Chorus] You told them don’t come closer But still you let them near Because being wanted mattered more Than being held sincere
[Chorus] I’ll be the antidote Even if you say you don’t deserve it Antidote Even when the damage feels complete You say your touch consumes them You say your love corrodes But poison only wins When nobody believes it can be healed
Antidote Antidote
[Verse 2] I know what it means to crave the attention To need someone to stay despite the cost To let them drink from something slowly breaking Because being seen felt worth what would be lost
But love was never meant to feel like damage And wanting never meant to make you bleed You are not just what the world turned you into And you are more than what they made you be
[Pre-Chorus] So even if you whisper “There’s no saving left in me” I’ll stay long enough to prove That isn’t everything I see
[Chorus] I’ll be the antidote Not to erase you or deny you Antidote But to remind you who you were before You say your kiss is poison You say your hands destroy But I still see a soul beneath it Worth fighting for
Antidote Antidote
[Bridge — hymn-like rise] You don’t have to keep becoming What the damage taught you to be And you don’t have to keep proving There’s nothing left underneath
I know you learned survival In the shape of something cruel
But poison is not destiny
It’s just what happens When pain has nowhere left to go
[Final Chorus — key lift] Antidote Even if you don’t believe it yet Antidote Even if the world already did You say you warned them all You say they chose the risk But I refuse to let you disappear Inside the things you say you are
Antidote I’m not afraid of what you’ve become
Because I remember Who you were before
[Outro — soft] You’re not just the poison.
You survived it.
