I came back but i was gone in your eyes Like a house with all the lights off inside I reached out through the summer shadows and the wildfire smoke But love don't ignite just cause you hope
Last night, I felt the emptiness of the moon No one around just the ghost of you As alone as I’ve ever known how to be Empty room, no air left to breathe
I don’t feel beautiful I don’t feel real Like a melted ice sculpture someone forgot to feel Chords in my chest, I'm not a willow tree and I cant bend Strumming the sting of the bitter end
I needed you
I tried to be sultry enough, but enough ain’t love You held me like a sweet memory, not like holy blood Running cold now through every vein I call your name but it’s just pain
I thought you'd see the seashells still in my hands But you changed like the tides, and now my heart is sinking sand You used to know the melody of my soul Now it’s just unwillingness. There's a stiffness about you and I'm listening to all your songs but this time around, I hear broken notes
I don’t feel beautiful, I don’t feel seen a quiet cematary of love that might have been (and we dwell there) Guitar chords cutting right through my skin Each one a scar where you had been
I needed you
What’s left behind is heavy and true The aftermath of my sickness, still holds you I’m picking up pieces of who I was But they don’t fit like they did, because…
I don’t feel beautiful, not anymore Like a cold icy heart that’s melted on the floor But somewhere in this broken tune Is proof we loved so hard, even with our wounds
