[Intro]
(whispered)
You said forever
Then you vanished in a day
All these rusted promises
Still cut the same
[Verse 1]
Empty bed
Cold imprint on the mattress
Dirty cups
And a graveyard in the ashtray
I trace your name
In the dust on the TV
Every ghost
Wears your face when it sees me
[Chorus]
We are let down
Loveless
Lost in the dark of the houses we built
Every "always" turns breathless
Choking on words that were never felt
All these souls
All these holes in our chests
We are let down
Loveless
Crawling through glass for a touch we won’t get
[Verse 2]
Street outside
Keeps piling up with thunder
Inside I’m
Just a crack in the plaster
You said
"I’m fine"
With your eyes on the doorway
You were gone
Long before you walked away
[Chorus]
We are let down
Loveless
Lost in the dark of the houses we built
Every "always" turns breathless
Choking on words that were never felt
All these souls
All these holes in our chests
We are let down
Loveless
Crawling through glass for a touch we won’t get
[Bridge]
(low growl)
Tear out the pages
Of every lie you signed
You fed me futures
Just to watch me starve in time
(high scream)
I gave you marrow
You left me a skin of skin
You locked the door from the outside
And called it "learning to swim"
[Breakdown]
(low growl)
Loveless
Loveless
We rot in your absence
Loveless
Loveless
Born just to be abandoned
(high scream)
Where do the broken go
When even hell gets full?
All of your promises
Turn into animal skulls
[Chorus]
We are let down
Loveless
Lost in the dark of the houses we built
Every "always" turns breathless
Choking on words that were never felt
All these souls
All these holes in our chests
We are let down
Loveless
Crawling through glass for a touch we won’t get
[Outro]
(whispered)
You said forever
You meant "until"
I keep your silence
Like a pill I can’t kill
