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 [Pre-Chorus] I taste goodbye in every cigarette You’re the habit I can’t quit yet [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Every song on the radio lies They don’t tell you how forever dies [Chorus] 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 [Bridge – Half Time / Screamed] 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 [Final Chorus – Bigger / Messier] 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 [Outro – Soft] 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.**
