We Might Be Robots

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love was a promise, dressed up in chains,
A whisper of comfort that delivers only pain.
Too afraid to speak, too afraid to breathe,
Swallowed the lie and let it bleed.
They said forever, but forever’s a curse,
The weight of pretending just makes it worse.

[Pre-Chorus]
It bends you, it breaks you, it drags you down,
Leaves you screaming when no one’s around.

[Chorus]
This is love rot — binding hearts with barbed wire,
Leaves you empty where trust had expired.
All we wanted was a hand to hold,
But the silence grows heavy, the nights turn cold.
This is love rot — drowning hope in the mire,
’Til you find the one who lights your soul on fire.

[Verse 2]
Not as advertised, it was built on deceit,
A war in the bedroom, surrender in defeat.
You’re more alone than you’ve ever known,
Reaching for someone who won’t throw you a bone.
They say “’til death,” but it’s just a disguise,
A contract of silence, a cage of lies.

[Pre-Chorus]
It bends you, it breaks you, it drags you down,
Leaves you screaming when no one’s around.

[Chorus]
This is love rot — binding hearts with barbed wire,
Leaves you broken where trust had expired.
All we wanted was a hand to hold,
But the silence grows heavy, the nights turn cold.
This is love rot — drowning hope in the mire,
’Til you find the one who lights your soul on fire.

[Bridge – Spoken/Shouted Over Build]
Don’t sell me the fairytale, don’t sell me the lie,
I’d rather bleed truth than slowly die.
I’ll wait for the fire, I’ll wait for the flame,
For the one who will see me, and call my name.

[Final Chorus – Explosive, Full Band]
This is love rot — binding hearts with barbed wire,
Leaves you empty where trust had expired.
All we wanted was a hand to hold,
But the silence grows heavy, the nights turn cold.
This is love rot — drowning hope in the mire,
’Til you find the one who lights your soul on fire.

[Outro – Haunting, Fading]
’Til you find…
’Til you find…
The one who lights your soul on fire.
