[Verse 1]
Gun smoke in my lungs
metal taste on my tongue
You said "it’s just a quick run"
then the world came undone
Car parked by the corner store
arguing ‘bout the aux cord
Door ding, then a glass shatter
every dream we had, scattered
You grabbed chips, I grabbed drinks
time slowed in the aisle, blink
First pop felt like a firework
second one tore through my shirt
I hit the floor, face to tiles
people sprint in crooked miles
You in red, eyes so wide
whispered "bro, I’ll be alright"
[Chorus]
You kept bleeding in my arms in that cold white light
sirens screaming while you stared past my eyes
I keep seeing that T-shirt, soaked and bright
I’m still here, but I died that night
You kept bleeding in my arms, I can’t rewind
hands still shaking, scrubbing red from my mind
Over and over, same scene, same fight
I’m still here, but I died that night (yeah)
[Verse 2]
I pressed down where your hands shook
you said "tell my mom I tried, look"
Phone slipped, screen cracked, missed calls
blood creeping in crooked walls
Your breath short, words in pieces
"keep my chain if my heart ceases"
I laughed once, tried to play tough
voice broke, "you stupid, get up"
Paramedics yelling questions
I just mumbled our confessions
About trips we never took
kids’ names we never booked
Now I drive past that store slow
count the bullet holes in the window
See your ghost at the freezer door
asking "grab me one more?"
[Chorus]
You kept bleeding in my arms in that cold white light
sirens screaming while you stared past my eyes
I keep seeing that T-shirt, soaked and bright
I’m still here, but I died that night
You kept bleeding in my arms, I can’t rewind
hands still shaking, scrubbing red from my mind
Over and over, same scene, same fight
I’m still here, but I died that night (died that night)
[Bridge]
I still wash my hands till they crack
still smell copper when I laugh
Every car backfire, I duck
every crowd, I tense up
Your mom keeps asking what you said
I lie and say "he wasn’t scared"
But truth is, you knew the score
you just didn’t wanna go alone
[Chorus]
You kept bleeding in my arms in that cold white light
sirens screaming while you stared past my eyes
I keep seeing that T-shirt, soaked and bright
I’m still here, but I died that night
You kept bleeding in my arms, can’t hit rewind
blood on my soul, not just my mind
Over and over, same scene, same fight
I’m still here, but I died that night (yeah)
I’m still here, but I died that night
