Untitled

Verse 1]

Black nail polish on a broken mirror

Your name still looks better in cracked-up letters

I sleep with the TV just to drown you out

But every late-night rerun screams your mouth

Got your hoodie hanging off my chair

Still smells like smoke and cheap despair

You said “forever” like a dare

Now forever’s just not there

I taste goodbye in every cigarette

You’re the habit I can’t quit yet

You ripped my heart out, left it on the pavement

Said love’s a war and I was just a placement

Now I’m bleeding in permanent ink

Writing your name every time I drink

You found someone new with a clean white slate

I’m still screaming at your old driveway gate

If you ever miss me, don’t pretend

I’m the ghost you made, your almost-was, amen

Your laugh still lives inside my car

Echoes louder than my busted guitar

I drive past streets we used to haunt

Like maybe heartbreak’s what you want

You kissed me like a loaded gun

Pulled the trigger, then you run

Told me I was your only one

Guess I was just the almost one

Every song on the radio lies

They don’t tell you how forever dies

You ripped my heart out, left it on the pavement

Said love’s a war and I was just a placement

Now I’m bleeding in permanent ink

Writing your name every time I drink

You found someone new with a clean white slate

I’m still screaming at your old driveway gate

If you ever miss me, don’t pretend

I’m the ghost you made, your almost-was, amen

I hope he loves you like I couldn’t

I hope he stays when I know I wouldn’t

I hope you don’t hear my name at night

Like a siren in your headlights

I hope you’re happy — God, I swear

But I still see you everywhere

You ripped my heart out, called it growing

Said I’d move on — but I’m not going

I’m bleeding in permanent ink

Drowning in everything we used to think

You’re in his arms like I never existed

I’m just the chapter you blacked out and twisted

If you ever miss me, don’t call my phone

You made this grave — now I sleep alone

Black nail polish, broken mirror

You’re still the reason I see clearer

Love like ours don’t just fade away…

It just learns how to decay.**
