Map of Wounds

Verse 1

Estrangement never rises from one heart alone,

It’s a tangle of wounds we carried, a truth never owned.

Two shadows in a doorway, both afraid to speak,

Both pointing fingers and pretending that the fault was only yours.

Verse 2

Baby, I won’t carry all the blame you keep trying to assign,

I won’t shoulder every burden just to keep your story aligned.

You can rewrite the memories, but I won’t play that role—

I’m not the villain in a tale we both wrote long ago.

Chorus

It takes two hearts breaking,

Two voices gone still,

Two truths left unspoken

For distance to build.

You can paint me as the darkness,

But I know what’s been done—

Estrangement isn’t born

From only one.

It takes two hearts breaking,

Two voices gone still.

Verse 3

One day I hope you’ll find the courage to finally see

The mirror doesn’t lie when you’re acting honestly.

Compassion isn’t weakness, and truth is never kind,

But healing only happens when you face what you design.

Chorus

It takes two hearts breaking,

Two voices gone still,

Two truths left unspoken

For distance to build.

You can paint me as the darkness,

But I know what’s been done—

Estrangement isn’t born

From only one.

It takes two hearts breaking,

Two voices gone still,

Bridge

I won’t wear your sorrow,

I won’t hold your shame,

I won’t be the monster

You built to take the blame.

We both shaped the silence,

We both fed the divide—

Only truth can close the distance

If you ever choose to try.

Chorus

It takes two hearts breaking,

Two voices gone still,

Two truths left unspoken

For distance to build.

You can paint me as the darkness,

But I know what’s been done—

Estrangement isn’t born

From only one.

It takes two hearts breaking,

Two voices gone still,
