Taste You On My Tongue

[Verse 1]
You left your earring in my car
Little silver moon in the cup holder
I still drive like you in the seat
Argue with a ghost on my shoulder
Chewing on the words you said
They cut my mouth, I still swallow
You were talking future tense
I was just trying not to hollow
[Pre-Chorus]
You said "trust me"
Then you turned me to rust, see
Got my teeth on your memory
And it tastes like busted seams
[Chorus]
I can taste you on my tongue
Every lie, every "we're still young"
You were poison in my lungs
But I still breathe you in, I still breathe you in (yeah)
You keep burning on my lips
Like a scar from a suicide kiss
If this love was wrong, we were so, so wrong
But I still, I still taste you on my tongue (on my tongue)
[Verse 2]
I put your sweater in the sink
Watch the color bleed like it’s guilty
You move on with your "better things"
I move slow through a city that killed me
Scroll your page, see your new world
Tell myself I don't care, I still do
Every picture, every new curl
Feels like you aimed them right through
[Pre-Chorus]
You said "trust me"
Then you left me in dust, sweet
Now my jaw locked up on the truth
And it tastes like old deceit
[Chorus]
I can taste you on my tongue
Every lie, every "we're still young"
You were poison in my lungs
But I still breathe you in, I still breathe you in (oh)
You keep burning on my lips
Like a scar from a suicide kiss
If this love was wrong, we were so, so wrong
But I still, I still taste you on my tongue
[Bridge]
Bite down ‘til it hurts
Maybe pain can clean this dirt
Rinse my mouth in cheap red wine
But your name stays in my mind (yeah)
Tell me, did you ever choke
On the promises you broke?
‘Cause I’m spitting out your salt
But I still crave the fault
[Chorus]
I can taste you on my tongue
Every lie, every "we're still young"
You were poison in my lungs
But I still breathe you in, I still breathe you in (breathe you in)
You keep burning on my lips
Like a scar from a suicide kiss
If this love was wrong, we were so, so wrong
But I still, I still taste you on my tongue (my tongue)
Yeah I still, I still taste you on my tongue
