Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Empty glass Lipstick on the rim Laugh tracks From a life I never lived You were there Just a shoulder from my hand I joked too loud So I wouldn’t say “I can” [Pre-Chorus] All those nights at crowded bars I traced your face in cigarette scars You never saw the way I watched you go I stayed a ghost in my own shadow (hey) [Chorus] This is for the buried love Never said All the words stuck deep in my chest instead I was right beside you You still left me behind you Screaming to a sky that doesn’t know I’m letting go I’m letting go Though every broken piece says “hold on Hold on” I’m singing for a love that’s gone [Verse 2] You leaned in Told me secrets in my ear I laughed it off So you wouldn’t hear my fear Every time you kissed Somebody not my name I clapped along Drowning in the game [Pre-Chorus] Backroom lights and broken chairs You spun in circles I just stared I wore this grin like armor in the glow Bleeding out where you would never know [Chorus] This is for the buried love Never said All the lines I rehearsed Left unread I was right beside you You still left me behind you Screaming to a sky that doesn’t know I’m letting go I’m letting go Though every broken piece says “hold on Hold on” I’m singing for a love that’s gone [Bridge] If I had told you then Would you have stayed Or walked away faster? Every what-if carves my skin But I’m done building altars to disaster (oh) So here’s my final prayer To every almost Every nearly-there [Chorus] This is for the buried love Never said Set the flowers on the flame in my head I was right beside you Now I’m done being behind you Crying to a sky that finally knows I’m letting go I’m letting go Hear my broken voice turn into a roar I won’t be your shadow anymore
