[Verse 1]

I left the porch light on for years, like some dumb prayer you'd see from space

The wind rewrote our vows in weeds, and still I held your empty place

The mailbox rusted shut with hope

I whispered love through garden smoke

And every fucking night, I swore you’d come

(Still waiting)

[Pre-Chorus]

I stitched your name in linen skies

Hung it where the sparrows cry

But silence grew like something cruel

A vine that learned to bend the rules

[Chorus]

Ivy climbs where you should be

Through every crack inside of me

I waited long enough to drown

Now roots are pulling ceilings down

Fuck, I loved you recklessly

But ivy grows when you don't speak

(Still grows)

Ivy grows when you don't speak

[Verse 2]

I kept your boots beside the door, like ghosts might need a place to land

The rain turned all my letters green, the ink ran like a reprimand

I kissed the dirt where you once stood

And called it love, like fools would

Every goddamn morning you’re not here

(Still gone)

[Pre-Chorus]

I carved your name in cedar bark

It bled like me—too soft, too dark

But ivy doesn't ask for grace

It wraps around the quiet place

[Chorus]

Ivy climbs where you should be

Through every crack inside of me

I waited long enough to drown

Now roots are pulling ceilings down

Fuck, I loved you recklessly

But ivy grows when you don't speak

(Still grows)

Ivy grows when you don't speak

[Bridge]

I screamed your name into the loam

Like maybe grief could bring you home

But ivy heard and took its cue

It bloomed where I was split in two

I'm not your saint, I'm not your sin

But ivy always finds a way in

It wraps around the softest parts

And strangles hope before it starts

(Still breathing)

[Chorus]

Ivy climbs where you should be

Through every crack inside of me

I waited long enough to drown

Now roots are pulling ceilings down

Fuck, I loved you recklessly

But ivy grows when you don't speak

(Still grows)

Ivy grows when you don't speak

(Still here)

Ivy grows when you don’t speak
