(Intro)
There’s a light outside my window
But I can’t feel it anymore
Ever since you walked away
This house don’t feel like home
(Verse 1)
I still hear your boots across the floorboards
Still see your makeup on the sink
Your ghost lives in every corner
And you haunt me every time I blink
You used to hold me like forever
Like nothing could tear us apart
Now forever sounds so temporary
With your goodbye carved through my heart
I tried to burn the letters slowly
Tried to wash your scent away
But memories don’t die easy
They just learn how to stay
(Pre-Chorus)
Everybody says the pain will fade
But they never loved you like I did
(Chorus)
Now I’m sleeping with black roses
Counting all the wounds you left open
You were heaven in a leather jacket
Beautiful chaos, pure tragic
And I still taste your name like whiskey
Still hear your voice when the room gets empty
You took the light out of my veins
Now every night feels the same
(Verse 2)
The city looks dead at 2 AM
Streetlights flicker like dying stars
I drive nowhere with the radio screaming
Trying to outrun who we are
I remember dancing in your kitchen
Barefoot spinning to old rock songs
You said we’d make it through anything
Guess “anything” didn’t last too long
Now there’s strangers in your pictures
And silence where your laughter lived
I gave you every broken part of me
And somehow it still wasn’t enough to give
(Pre-Chorus)
I wear my heartbreak like a tattoo
A permanent reminder of you
(Chorus)
Now I’m sleeping with black roses
Drowning in the words unspoken
You were fire under my skin
Now I don’t know who I’ve been
And every night I swear I see you
Standing in the dark like you used to
But ghosts disappear when the lights turn on
And I’m still here holding on
(Bridge)
Maybe love was never meant to stay
Maybe some hearts are born to break
Maybe I was just another chapter
You could close and walk away
But I still talk to you in my head
Still reach for your side of the bed
And every sunrise hurts the same
Cause waking up means you’re gone again
(Guitar Break)
Oh-oh-oh…
Yeah the silence screams your name…
(Final Chorus)
Now I’m sleeping with black roses
A shattered soul nobody notices
You were my storm, my escape
Now all that’s left is the rain
And if you ever think about me
I hope it cuts you deeply
Cause losing you destroyed my world
And I’m still buried in the hurt
(Outro)
Black roses on the floor tonight
One for every time you said goodbye
And I’ll keep loving you alone
Till these ghosts finally let me go…
