I can’t quiet down these voices, they echo through my chest,
I’m begging for the silence but my mind won’t let me rest.
Every thought’s a prison, every heartbeat’s out of time,
I’m drowning in the memory, it’s you I can’t leave behind.
Bartender pour another, let the poison make me numb,
I’m chasing down the shadows but the night has just begun.
If I sink too deep, I’ll never crawl outside,
But I’d rather be lost than keep you locked inside.
⸻
Pre-Chorus (emo version)
(Just let it decay) but the scars won’t fade without her,
(Have to walk away) but the dark feels colder without her.
(Hands shake on the phone) and the words all fall apart,
Have to bury her name before it carves through my heart.
⸻
New Chorus (emo version)
How do I breathe when you’re under my skin?
How do I heal when it’s breaking again?
I let you go but the ghost still bleeds,
You’re the ache in my chest, you’re the cut that I need.
I’m screaming your name but no one can hear,
Just bury these thoughts, just drown out the fear.
⸻
Verse 2 (emo version)
Threw my suitcase in the backseat, tried to drive into the night,
But every mile feels heavier, the rearview burns with light.
She’s pulling like a gravity, a black hole in disguise,
And I’m terrified of orbiting the ruins of her lies.
I swore I’d never stumble, swore I’d never crawl,
But my footsteps keep on bleeding down this endless hall.
If I had known the ending from the very start,
I’d still trade every scar for the touch of her heart.
⸻
Bridge (unchanged – your original)
I can’t escape the way your touch still lingers,
Traces of your love on my skin, on my fingers.
Tried to move on but the truth won’t let me,
Every song I hear just pulls you back to me.
And I’m standing in the wreckage of what we were,
Every heartbeat’s just a whisper of her.
If loving you was wrong, I can’t forget—
I’m still caught up in the moment we met.
⸻
Final Chorus (emo version reprise)
How do I breathe when you’re under my skin?
How do I heal when it’s breaking again?
I let you go but the ghost still bleeds,
You’re the ache in my chest, you’re the cut that I need.
I’m screaming your name but no one can hear,
Just bury these thoughts, just drown out the fear.
