[Verse 1]
He still calls her name
like it pays the rent
Same old shirt on him
same text, same dent
I see the screen glow blue
then the room goes still
He says, “I just need one more”
like he always will
[Pre-Chorus]
Boy, you bend that thread
till it cuts your hand
You keep holding on
to a buried land
And I know your eyes
keep drifting back
Even when I’m here
you fall through that crack
[Chorus]
She’s gone, she’s gone
but you won’t let go
She’s gone, she’s gone
and it hurts to know
You love her ghost
more than you show
She’s gone, she’s gone
but you won’t let go
[Verse 2]
You leave your keys by the bowl
never touch your food
Half your heart in the hall
half in her old mood
You say, “I’m fine, I’m fine”
with that broken grin
But every quiet night
you start her name again
[Pre-Chorus]
Boy, you bend that thread
till it cuts your hand
You keep holding on
to a sinking land
And I know your eyes
keep drifting back
Even when I’m here
you fall through that crack
[Chorus]
She’s gone, she’s gone
but you won’t let go
She’s gone, she’s gone
and it hurts to know
You love her ghost
more than you show
She’s gone, she’s gone
but you won’t let go
[Bridge]
If I stand too close
do you see my face?
Or just what she left
in this empty place?
I could heal your wound
but I can’t be her
I’m not a replay
I’m not a blur
[Chorus]
She’s gone, she’s gone
but you won’t let go
She’s gone, she’s gone
and it hurts to know
You love her ghost
more than you show
She’s gone, she’s gone
but you won’t let go
