[Intro]
Crimson on the chapel lace
Roses in the rubble
Cold breath on a sinner’s face
Your vow turned to trouble
[Verse 1]
You swore “always” in the shadowed hall
Now every whisper feels like a funeral call
I keep your photo in a splintered frame
Trace it
Taste it
Speak your name (yeah)
[Chorus]
Love is a knife in a shaking hand
I grip it harder as it splits my skin
You’re the ghost in the last slow band
Dancing through the wreckage I’m buried in
If this is all that remains
I’ll let it flood through my veins
Love is a knife in a shaking hand
I won’t release
I won’t release
[Verse 2]
Letters on the floor like fallen snow
Words we meant but never let show
I stitch your voice to the back of my mind
Every scream leaves the truth behind (hey!)
[Bridge]
[Half-time drop
Low piano and distant strings]
Lay me down
In the ashes we made
Let the ground
Keep every promise you betrayed
If angels lock their iron doors
I’ll climb the wreckage of our wars
[Chorus]
Love is a knife in a shaking hand
I grip it harder as it splits my skin
You’re the ghost in the last slow band
Dancing through the wreckage I’m buried in
If this is all that remains
I’ll let it flood through my veins
Love is a knife in a shaking hand
I won’t release
I won’t release (you)
[Outro]
Soft strings fade
Your name in the static
Ivory keys cry under fading light
If love is a scar I keep carving
Let it burn
Let it burn through the night
