[Intro]
Scarlet on the wedding veil
Petals in the gravel
Breath caught in a sharpened prayer
Your name in my marrow
[Verse 1]
You said “forever” in a quiet stairwell
Now every step is a cracked church bell
I keep your note in a torn black wallet
Read it
Bleed it
Never solve it (yeah)
[Chorus]
Love is a blade in a bare hand
I hold on tighter as it cuts me down
You’re the ghost in every slow dance
Spinning through the ruins of a blackout town
If this is all that I get
I’ll let it tear through my chest
Love is a blade in a bare hand
I won’t let go
I won’t let go
[Verse 2]
Pictures on the floor like broken glass
Laugh lines framed in the fallout ash
I carve your laugh in the back of my throat
Every shout just another lost oath (hey!)
[Bridge]
[Half‑time drop
Low piano hits under chugs]
Bury me
In the bed that we burned
Let the dirt
Learn every word I never learned
If heaven shuts its rusted gate
I’ll build a stair from my own hate
[Chorus]
Love is a blade in a bare hand
I hold on tighter as it cuts me down
You’re the ghost in every slow dance
Spinning through the ruins of a blackout town
If this is all that I get
I’ll let it tear through my chest
Love is a blade in a bare hand
I won’t let go
I won’t let go (of you)
[Outro]
Soft keys
Your name in the silence
Strings tremble where your pulse used to be
If love is a wound I keep open
Let it sing
Let it sing through me
