Intro

Low light, late hour

Your name tastes like smoke now

⸻

Verse 1

I gave you silence like a shelter

Gave you space inside my ribs

You said love like it was holy

Like a vow you’d always live

But devotion turned to distance

Like a shadow in the rain

I kept reaching through the quiet

You kept drifting just the same

Now the room still holds your echo

Like a hymn that lost its choir

Every memory a candle

Every candle still on fire

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I carried you like a prayer in my lungs

Now every breath feels wrong

⸻

Chorus

You left your ghost in my bloodstream

Every promise still runs deep

I taste your name in the silence

Even when I try to sleep

I was built like an altar

You were built like a flame

And the worst part of loving you

Is I’d burn the same

⸻

Verse 2

You wore my heart like armor

Like a shield against the cold

But every time I got closer

You let pieces of it fold

I kept bleeding out forgiveness

Like a river in the dark

You kept striking every match

Just to see another spark

Now the quiet feels heavier

Than the words we never said

Like a war still raging softly

In the chambers of my head

⸻

Pre-Chorus

You called it love when it hurt this way

I called it faith when I chose to stay

⸻

Chorus

You left your ghost in my bloodstream

Every promise still runs deep

I taste your name in the silence

Even when I try to sleep

I was built like an altar

You were built like a flame

And the worst part of loving you

Is I’d burn the same

⸻

Bridge (Sleep Token style escalation)

If devotion is a weapon

Then you carved me to the bone

If surrender was the answer

Why am I here alone

I let you inside my ruin

Let you carve your name in stone

Now the temple that I built for you

Is the place I burn alone

⸻

Final Chorus

You left your ghost in my bloodstream

Every vow still cuts deep

Every scar says your language

Every night steals my sleep

I was built like an altar

You were built like a flame

And I hate that I know

I would burn again
