Verse 1
You’re dressed up in your Sunday best
You take my burdens so I can take my breath
You took a part of me I didn’t know I still had
A broken handle from a bottle I can’t give back
You haunt the corner of every dim lit room
Turnings shades of black to a deeper blue
Pre-Chorus
You whisper promises that never come true
Every time I swear I’m done, I crawl right back to you
My hands are trembling with the things I’ve left unsaid
But your shadow keeps on dancing in the corners of my head
Chorus
So take what’s left of me /
Pour it on the floor /
I’ve been praying for release, but you keep asking for more /
You’re the taste on my tongue /
The ache in my chest /
I keep begging for forgiveness from the thing that made this mess /
Verse 2
The faded label still shines in the dark
Like a crooked halo wrapped around my heart
I trace the cracks where your name used to stay
But every sip just pulls the memory further away
You stitched your poison into every breath I breathe
And called it love while you slowly buried me
Pre-Chorus:
And I’m staring down the bottom of your empty gaze /
Praying this will be the last time I fall from grace
Chorus:
So take what’s left of me /
Pour it on the floor /
I’ve been praying for release, but you keep asking for more /
You’re the taste on my tongue /
The ache in my chest /
I keep begging for forgiveness from the thing that made this mess
Bridge:
I trace the cracks in my mirror just to find a face I know /
But every reflection looks like the ghost of the life you stole /
I’ve prayed to a future where your voice finally fades /
But I’m still waking up to the echo of your name
Final Chorus:
So take what’s left of me /
Pour it on the floor /
I’ve been praying for release, but you keep asking for more /
You’re the taste on my tongue /
The ache in my chest /
I keep begging for forgiveness from the thing that made this mess /
Tonight I’ll sever the ties, let the silence awake /
Because I’m done letting you be the god of my pain /
