[Verse 1]
You left your coffee in the sink
Half a message on my phone
Your jacket on the plastic chair
Like you’d be right back home
I keep your toothbrush in its place
Still buy your favorite kind of tea
Tell your shadow in the hallway
“Come sit next to me”
[Chorus]
Dead eyes
In the bathroom mirror
Hollow heart
But I’m standing here
I carry you in every broken part
I’m breathing with a bullet in my chest
But I won’t let it tear your name apart
Dead eyes
Hollow heart
(Still beating for you)
[Verse 2]
Your birthday on the calendar
I trace the date
Then look away
Every song that hits the radio
Finds a line you’d sing and sway
I scream your jokes into the dark
Till the echoes sound like mine
I’m learning how to walk this world
On one leg of our old life
[Chorus]
Dead eyes
In the bathroom mirror
Hollow heart
But I’m standing here
I carry you in every broken part
I’m breathing with a bullet in my chest
But I won’t let it tear your name apart
Dead eyes
Hollow heart
(Still beating for you)
[Bridge]
I thought that losing you meant losing me (losing me)
Thought the story ended at your final scene (final scene)
But every tear that burns across my skin
Is proof that I’m still letting you back in
[Chorus]
Dead eyes
But they’re burning clearer
Hollow heart
Filling up with fear and love and scars
I carry you in every broken part
I’m laughing with a fracture in my voice
But loving you was never just a start
Dead eyes
Hollow heart
I’m living for the both of us
(For the both of us)
