[Verse]
She ran through the smoke
And I stood frozen in the haze
Choking on words
That wouldn't escape
The air tasted like rust
[Chorus]
She ran but she stayed
In my chest in my veins
Every step she took away
She left her shadow
She ran but she stayed
[Verse 2]
Her voice still claws at the night
A whisper a scream all at once
Her scent lingers like rain
On cracked earth
I can't scrape her from my lungs
[Prechorus]
She ran but her ghost
It lingers it won't go
[Chorus]
She ran but she stayed
In my chest in my veins
Every step she took away
She left her shadow
She ran but she stayed
[Bridge]
I see her in every face
I hear her in the silence
The louder it gets
The harder I try to forget
But she stays she stays
