[VERSE 1]
I've been searching for the lights I lost in the photograph
In the creases I made to make them fit
It’s a silence you carved
It’s an absence that chokes
It STARVES!
[Chorus 1]
I’m covering for the lies you told
Ghosts in a story I don’t want to name (I don’t wanna tell)
It’s gone (you’re gone)
They’re gone (all gone)
The faults my own
—I'm still learning to breathe in the wreck we caused
[VERSE 2]
I get lost in all my shame
Where the image turned black
In the ash where your hands traced out the truth
But the flickers I chase
Are just stings from the wounds I'll never treat
It’s a neatly piled rubble of a life I get to live
[BRIDGE]
You set the stack, I tapped to go
She refused my call, I’ll never know
The mirror cracked where I tried to mend
And the echo has me on my knees...begging...“PLEASE! NO! NOT AGAIN!” (PLEASE)
[Chorus 2]
I’m covering for the lies you I told
Ghosts in our story I don’t wanna name (NEVER WANNA TELL)
You’re gone
They’re gone (GONE)
And I’m still here
[OUTRO]
Learning to live with the wreck I caused
