[Verse 1]
You left your coat on the chair
Still smells like cheap regret
I found your lighter in the sink
And I still ain't quit that yet
Your name in my phone
Like a ghost with a pulse
I scroll to your last little text
Then I stare at the wall and curse
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm pacing holes in the floor
I'm mad at the sky for you
And every junked-up promise
Keeps splitting me in two
I hate what it took
I hate what it did
I hate that I miss you
Like a kid misses home
[Chorus]
Come back, come back
I know you can't stay
Come back, come back
You're better away
I want you back
I want you back
But not in that shape
Not in that place
[Verse 2]
Your hoodie on my door
Like a flag in a storm
I punch the mattress at night
Till my knuckles come warm
Your mother called again
Her voice shook like glass
She said, "He's breathing, he's trying"
And I broke on the call
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm screaming at nothing
I'm choking on shame
'Cause part of me wants you
And part of me knows your name
Belongs to the man
You were before the fall
Not the shadow that dragged you
Past the edge of it all
[Chorus]
Come back, come back
I know you can't stay
Come back, come back
You're better away
I want you back
I want you back
But not in that shape
Not in that place
[Breakdown]
Take the pill
Take the lie
Take it all
And watch me die
I loved you hard
I loved you wrong
Now all that's left
Is this broken song
[Bridge]
If I could rip out the dark
From the back of your chest
I would do it with my hands
I would do it to death
But love ain't a cage
And I won't beg you to drown
So I stand at the gate
When the night pulls you down
[Final Chorus]
Come back, come back
I know you can't stay
Come back, come back
You're better away
I want you back
I want you back
But not in that shape
Not in that place
[Outro]
If you make it through
If you find your way
I'll learn how to miss you
And still let you stay away
