Broken Glowstick Heart

You left your jacket on my chair

Still smells like rain and cheap cologne

Your coffee cup

A lipstick ring

Little ghosts in an empty home

I swipe through pictures in the dark

Our faces blurred by colored haze

You said forever at that show

Then vanished in the strobe and bass

I got a broken glowstick heart

Cracked in your hands

It still shines in the dark

I’m dancing alone where we fell apart

Jump

Jump

Fight back the tears in the sparks

My broken glowstick heart

Flashing your name in the crowd where you aren’t

I spin in the wreckage

I fall

Then restart

With this broken

Broken glowstick heart

Your favorite song hits

I freeze

Hear your laugh in the kick and snare

Friends say

“Let go

Just lose yourself”

But every drop

I feel you there

I paint a smile with trembling hands

Let the drums cover up my sighs

I chase the rush to drown your voice

But you keep shouting in my mind

[low vocal register] Did you ever mean it?

Or did you just like the show?

I gave you all my colors

You left me flickering low

[half-whispered] Still glowing

Still glowing

Even if you’ll never know
