Grave for Two

(Verse 1)

Smoke in my lungs, blood in my head

Still sleep on your side of the bed

Your ghost moves in like the cold night air

Whispers your name, but you’re not there

I trace your letters on fogged-up glass

Replayin’ the fight, the words, the crash

If pain was love, then I was true

I’d sell my soul just to talk to you

(Pre-Chorus)

You’re a shadow now in every light

A dream that dies again each night

They say “move on,” but they don’t see

You were the only home in me

(Chorus)

I’d kill to have you back — no metaphor

Kick down heaven, even up the score

Dig through hell with broken hands

If I could just undo the end

I’d trade my heart, my breath, my truth

If I could lie forever next to you

Yeah, I’d kill to have you back —

Even if it kills me too

(Verse 2)

This house is haunted with your laugh

I talk to walls, they just talk back

My friends all say I’m losing grip

But they don’t know what real love is

You were the blade and the bandage too

A war I fought, and still I’d lose

I wear your hoodie like a cross

Swear I’d die to take that loss

(Pre-Chorus)

Your name still cuts like glass on skin

I keep your voicemail on repeat again

You said, “Forever,” I took the vow

But forever’s just a ghost now

(Chorus)

I’d kill to have you back — no metaphor

Kick down heaven, even up the score

Dig through hell with broken hands

If I could just undo the end

I’d trade my heart, my breath, my truth

If I could lie forever next to you

Yeah, I’d kill to have you back —

Even if it kills me too

(Bridge – whispered/screamed)

Tell me where you are — I’ll follow

Even if it’s dark and hollow

Even if there’s no return

I’d rather burn, I’d rather burn

(Final Chorus – stripped down, raw)

I’d kill to have you back — hear me now

I’d tear the stars out of the clouds

If death meant waking next to you

Then baby, I’d be dying too

One grave ain’t deep enough for this truth

So dig a place for me next to you

I’d kill to have you back…

Even if it kills me too
