[Verse 1]
Loving you hurts the most
Knowing you're all but a ghost
I still set your place at the table
Talk to the air
Like you're there
Like I'm stable
[Pre-Chorus]
Every photograph
Cuts my teeth
Sleeping on your side of the sheets
I keep reaching out in the dark
But it's only me
And this cracked heart
[Chorus]
Loving you hurts the most
You're a ghost that I still hold
Hands full of ash
I won't let go
Drowning in my sorrow and the woes
Loving you hurts the most
Screaming your name
But you're gone
Still I keep the porch light on
[Verse 2]
I wear your old shirt till it frays
Still taste your name when I pray
Friends say "move on
You'll feel better"
But they don't hear
Your voice near
In every letter
[Pre-Chorus]
Every empty glass
Every chair
Got your fingerprints in the air
I keep tracing scars on my chest
Where your goodbye
Left the rest
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
If letting go is saving me
Then let me burn
Let me bleed
I'd rather ache than be alone
I'd rather sink than turn to stone
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
