[Verse 1]
You left your sweater on my chair
Sleeve still folded where your hand would rest
I trace the seams like some old prayer
Trying to believe you meant the things you said
[Pre-Chorus]
Every word you dropped
Still caught in my throat
Every almost-love
Burned into my bones
[Chorus]
This is how a heart breaks
Shatter and shine
Cutting me open
One memory at a time
I keep reaching out through the ruins of us
Devastating love
I still call it that
Even as it kills me
I keep coming back
My forever is stuck in the shape of your ghost (oh)
And I don't know how to let go
[Verse 2]
I see your face in passing trains
Laugh in strangers
In a window’s glare
All of our could-have-beens
Hanging in the late-night
Heavy air
[Pre-Chorus]
Every almost-touch
Still under my skin
Every “maybe someday”
Echoing within
[Chorus]
This is how a heart breaks
Shatter and shine
Cutting me open
One memory at a time
I keep reaching out through the ruins of us
Devastating love
I still call it that
Even as it kills me
I keep coming back
My forever is stuck in the shape of your ghost (oh)
And I don't know how to let go
[Bridge]
I’m standing at the limit
Of everything we were
One step and I’m finished
One step and it still hurts
If healing means I lose you
I’m scared to survive
So I hold the hurt like holy proof
That we were alive (we were alive)
[Chorus]
This is how a heart breaks
Shatter and shine
Cutting me open
One memory at a time
I keep reaching out through the ruins of us
Devastating love
I still call it that
Even as it kills me
I keep coming back
My forever is carved in the space by your ghost
And some soul-deep hope says I’ll love you
Long after I let go
