[Verse 1]
You carved our names
In the drywall of my chest
Said
"This is home"
Then you set it all to flames
Halo on your nightstand
Red nails on my throat
You kissed like a promise
Then you watched me choke
[Pre-Chorus]
You turned the photos backwards
Said we’d "be better apart"
Funny how your shadow
Still sleeps in my heart
[Chorus]
We were almost paradise
Now I burn in the garden
You walk past like a stranger
Eyes ice
Heart hardened
You’re my favorite demon
In a dress I remember
We were almost paradise
Now it’s hell forever
[Verse 2]
You left your black hoodie
On the back of my chair
Smells like last winter
When you tangled in my hair
Now every room’s screaming
With the words you never said
I slam the door to silence
But you haunt inside my head
[Pre-Chorus]
You called it "learning to breathe"
While you watched me drown
You cut the rope so softly
Didn’t even make a sound
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] I still set your place at the table
Fork
Knife
Empty chair
Same label
"Love" written in my blood
Unstable
You laugh in the back of my brain
[screamed] YOU LAUGH IN THE BACK OF MY BRAIN
You were so close
So close I could taste it
Now every "I love you"
Feels poisoned
Wasted
[Chorus]
[crescendo]
