[Verse 1]
Coffee gone cold on the table
Lipstick print on your old cup
I still set your place at the counter
Then remember you gave us up
[Chorus]
Now it’s just ashes on the pillow
Your ghost in every room I cross
I keep talking like you’re coming back
To cover up the cost
You left your promises on my skin
Then you walked off with my tomorrow
I’m lying in a bed we burned
Breathing in this heartbreak smoke and sorrow
[Verse 2]
Your shirt still hangs in the doorway
Smells like rain and your cologne
I wear it when the night feels heavier
Like fabric might feel like home
[Chorus]
But it’s just ashes on the pillow
Your shadow dancing on the wall
I keep dialing that disconnected line
Just to hear it never call
You wrote forever in my hands
Then slipped right through like borrowed time
I’m tangled in these empty sheets
Counting every bruise you left behind
[Bridge]
Tell me
Were you lonely
Before you made me small
Did you need my breaking
To feel anything at all (anything at all)
[Chorus]
So here I am
Ashes on the pillow
Your ghost in every breath I take
I keep singing to an empty door
Till my voice begins to shake
You left your name under my ribs
But I’ll carve it out by tomorrow
I’ll crawl out of this bed we burned
And learn to live past heartbreak’s shadow
