[Intro]
I still set a plate for you
Dust on the fork
Name on the mailbox
Key in the door
[Verse 1]
Years pass
Same crack in the window
Same dent in the drywall
Where my fist learned to limbo
Phone face down
Like a loaded gun on the table
Heart keeps ringing your ghost
On a canceled cable
You lied with a straight face
I bled in a straight jacket
Now every touch feels fake
Like a staged habit
Trust turned to shrapnel
Stuck in my skin
You walked out laughing
I moved you in
[Chorus]
You left rust in my ribcage
Every breath tastes like you
I keep choking on the history
Of the hurt I never grew through
Can’t let go of a dead thing
Carry bones everywhere I go
You broke me in a past life
But the cracks still run the show (yeah)
[Verse 2]
I scroll through old messages
Like a crime scene file
Zoom in on the typos
Looking for your lies between the lines
Sleep’s a rumor
Bed’s a battlefield
Pillow on my face
Just to feel a shield
Every “I’m fine”
Is a loaded reply
Anxiety tapping Morse code
In my left eye
You cheated
Now I check every lock twice
Even hugs feel like setups
Even love feels like a heist (hey)
[Chorus]
You left rust in my ribcage
Every breath tastes like you
I keep choking on the history
Of the hurt I never grew through
Can’t let go of a dead thing
Carry bones everywhere I go
You broke me in a past life
But the cracks still run the show
[Bridge]
Why do I miss
What murdered me slow
Why am I guarding
The hand that let go
Heart’s just a house
You burned to the frame
I’m still in the ashes
Repeating your name (your name)
[Chorus]
You left rust in my ribcage
Every breath tastes like you
I keep choking on the history
Of the hurt I never grew through
Can’t let go of a dead thing
Carry bones everywhere I go
You shattered who I was then
Now I’m living in the glow of the blow
You left rust in my ribcage
And it screams when I breathe your ghost
This broken love’s a long fall
And I’m chained to the edge the most (yeah)
