[Verse 1]
I loved you so much
I blurred at the edges
Gave you my name
Till it slipped off the letters
You walked away slow
Like it cost you nothing
Left me in ruins
Calling it loving
[Pre-Chorus]
Now every breath
Scratches my lungs
Every small memory
Weighs a ton
[Chorus]
I'm in a cave of my own heart
Walls made of all the words you said
Every echo just falls apart
Every stone is a promise we bled
It’s so dark in here
I can’t see my hands
I keep trying to climb
But I slide where I stand
My heart hurts in the worst way
Save me
From this cave
[Verse 2]
I sweep up the pieces
Still cutting my fingers
Your ghost in my phone
Is the way that you linger
I talk to the ceiling
Like it’s gonna answer
Ask it what hurts more
You or the cancer
[Pre-Chorus]
How do I heal
From a love that lied
How do I crawl
Out from inside
[Chorus]
I'm in a cave of my own heart
Walls made of all the words you said
Every echo just falls apart
Every stone is a promise we bled
It’s so dark in here
I can’t see my hands
I keep trying to climb
But I slide where I stand
My heart hurts in the worst way
Save me
From this cave
[Bridge]
If I can’t find your hand
Maybe I’ll find my own
If I can’t trace your light
I’ll make a glow from the wounds I’ve known
(yeah)
Step by step
I’ll carve a way
Turn this grave
To a doorway
[Chorus]
I was a cave in my own heart
Now I’m learning how to breathe again
Every echo that falls apart
Makes a space where a new voice can stand
It’s still dark in here
But I see my hands
I keep trying to climb
And one day I’ll stand
My heart hurts in the worst way
But I’ll save
Myself from this cave
