Lost Inside What You Left Behind — Dark Emotional Metalcore (Mercy Never Lived Here)

Lost Inside What You Left Behind — Dark Emotional Metalcore (Mercy Never Lived Here)

“Lost Inside What You Left Behind” is a dark emotional metalcore track about being trained to apologize for existing — carrying someone else’s coldness like it’s your crime, until you finally refuse to call that love.

The song dives into weaponized silence, shifting rules, shrinking yourself to fit their mood, and the moment you stop translating their damage into your own guilt. Built on atmospheric tension, heavy riffs, emotive cleans, and desperate screams, it feels like slamming the door on a love that never had mercy.

If you connect with metalcore that explores toxic love, emotional manipulation, guilt, and letting go of what almost destroyed you, this track will cut deep.

🎵 LYRICS

Lost Inside What You Left Behind

I kept apologizing for the way you breathed around me.

You made me feel guilty for needing proof,
like love should hurt if it’s "real" to you.
I carried your coldness like it was my crime,
and called it patience while I came apart inside.
MERCY NEVER LIVED HERE!

I learned your silence had a schedule,
and I obeyed it like a rule.
Every time I tried to speak,
you turned my words into something cruel.

I kept my spine under your thumb,
said "it's fine" so you wouldn’t leave.
My chest stayed loud in an empty room,
begging my mind to let me breathe.

I kept searching for the "right" way to exist,
but you moved the line every time I reached it.
I’M TIRED OF BLEEDING QUIET!

You made me feel guilty for needing proof,
like love should hurt if it’s "real" to you.
I carried your coldness like it was my crime,
and called it patience while I came apart inside.
You never stopped You never stopped
MERCY NEVER LIVED HERE!

You kept me close just to watch me doubt,
fed me "maybe" until I wore it out.
I started hating how my heart works,
like longing was a flaw I should rip out.

I shrank my needs to fit your mood,
wore exhaustion like a wedding ring.
And when I finally said "I’m not okay,"
you looked bored, like it was nothing.

I’m done translating your damage into blame,
done mistaking restraint for being changed.
IF THIS IS LOVE, I DON’T WANT IT!

You made me feel guilty for needing proof,
like love should hurt if it’s "real" to you.
I carried your coldness like it was my crime,
and called it patience while I came apart inside.
You never cared You never cared
MERCY NEVER LIVED HERE!

YOU TAUGHT ME TO BE SMALL!
YOU TAUGHT ME TO APOLOGIZE FOR AIR!
I TORE MYSELF DOWN TO KEEP YOU CLOSE!
AND YOU STILL LEFT ME RIGHT THERE!

I don’t need you to admit it.
I just need to stop carrying it.

You made me feel guilty for needing proof,
but I’m done begging at the door you close.
I won’t wear your distance like it’s my crime,
I won’t keep dying slow to keep you satisfied.
I let you go I let you go
MERCY NEVER LIVED HERE!

I’m not asking anymore.
