[Verse 1]

I heard your surgery’s today

I hope it goes okay

I swear to God I tried to call but couldn’t find the words to say

My head is desolate inside

Left to tread the line

Between the weight of indecision and the effort left to try

[Pre-Chorus]

I know you’re dead on the inside

I can’t dry my eyes

Disdain is different in this light

Cause this could have been my life

[Chorus]

I can’t find the road that I’m taking

I can’t hide the fact that I’m breaking down

I hate the state that you stayed in

Hell if I know what I meant then

Bury my bones with this sense of doubt

[Verse 2]

You said the kids are growing up

Your undertone was rough

I swear the last ten years flew by and every change was so abrupt

My insecurity is high

It burdens me at night

When I revisit every word I wish I heard from your reply

[Pre-Chorus]

I hate that we never speak now

I can't find the time

You said that we’d always reach out

And this wouldn't be our lives

[Chorus]

I can’t find the road that I’m taking

I can’t hide the fact that I’m breaking down

I hate the state that you stayed in

Hell if I know what I meant then

Bury my bones with this sense of doubt

[Verse 3]

I hate to know that I kept a part of your ghost

Left it to roam in the emptiness of my own mind

I paid in full for the pessimism I hold

Destined to die beneath it

I wish I tried to see your side

[Outro]

I know

That I kept your ghost

Instead of moving on

And I hope

That I’m left below

When the tempest overflows
