[Intro]
I wrote your name in black on my skin
Now I’m scrubbing till it bleeds again
Yeah, yeah
[Sung Verse]
Another fight we won’t forget
Words like knives that leave regret
Empty room where you used to sleep
Promises you couldn’t keep
Faded posters on the wall
Echoes of when we'd risk it all
Your voice still ringing in my head
But now those words are better left unsaid
[Shouted Pre-Chorus]
I’m so done trying to forgive
You took more than I had to give
[Emotional Chorus]
Paper hearts just rip and burn
Lessons we refused to learn
Scream your name into the night
Nothing ever makes it right
Tear the memories apart
Can’t fix a fractured heart
Burn the letters, break the frame
Nothing’s ever quite the same
[Break]
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Fingerstyle Guitar Solo]
[Rapped Verse]
I see your ghost in city lights
I’m still drunk from all our fights
Your silence is a loaded gun
But I’m not the only one
Old receipts and ticket stubs
Proof we never had enough
Shouting at an empty sky
Asking myself just one more time why
[Shouted Pre-Chorus]
I’m so tired of chasing ghosts
You were the thing I needed most
[Emotional Chorus]
Paper hearts just rip and burn
Lessons we refused to learn
Scream your name into the night
Nothing ever makes it right
Tear the memories apart
Can’t fix a fractured heart
Burn the letters, break the frame
Nothing’s ever quite the same
[Percussion Break]
chuka-chuka-chuka-chuka
chuka-chuka-chuka-chuka
chuka-chuka-chuka-chuka
[Sung Verse]
Ripped-up notes that never heal
Scars I swore I'd never feel
I tried to save what we had left
But I’m just holding your regret
Streetlights flicker like our hope
I’m tangled up in your old rope
Suffocating on your lies
Can’t you see it in my eyes
[Shouted Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m done trying to pretend
This is something we can mend
[Emotional Chorus]
Paper hearts just rip and burn
Lessons we refused to learn
Scream your name into the night
Nothing ever makes it right
Tear the memories apart
Can’t fix a fractured heart
Burn the letters, break the frame
Nothing’s ever quite the same
[Bridge]
Pour the gasoline on dreams
Light the match to silent screams
If love was war, we lost the fight
No truce, no dawn, just endless night
I can’t erase these lines I wrote
Your memory’s stuck inside my throat
If goodbye is all you know
Then I’ll just watch you go
[Emotional Chorus]
Paper hearts just rip and burn
Lessons we refused to learn
Scream your name into the night
Nothing ever makes it right
Tear the memories apart
Can’t fix a fractured heart
Burn the letters, break the frame
Nothing’s ever quite the same
[Outro]
I wrote your name in black on my skin
Now I’m scrubbing till it bleeds again
Bleeds again
Bleeds again
