[Verse 1]
You carved your name
In the hospital glass
Shaking hands
But you still laughed
All those wires
All those lies
We pretended it was fine
You said
“If this is it
Promise me you’ll stay alive”
[Chorus]
Death becomes love
In the wreckage of the moment
When the last breath
Turns to something still unfolding
Every goodbye
Burns a mark under my skin
Death becomes love
Every time I let you in
[Verse 2]
I keep your boots
By the back door mat
Like you’ll kick it once
Say you’re finally back
I drink your coffee
Though I hate the taste
Little ghosts in every room
I let them stay
[Chorus]
Death becomes love
In the wreckage of the moment
When the last breath
Turns to something still unfolding
Every goodbye
Burns a mark under my skin
Death becomes love
Every time I let you in
[Bridge]
I scream at the sky
Till my throat breaks open (hey!)
Your name
Your name
Like a war cry spoken
If all that we are
Is ash and blood
Then I’ll wear your fire
Till it hurts this good
[Chorus]
Death becomes love
When the darkness doesn’t end
You’re the cut that
Teaches me to feel again
Every goodbye
Is a blade I’m rising from
Death becomes love
Yeah
Death becomes love (oh)
Death becomes love
