[Verse 1]
I still see your name in places
I wish you’d never been.
You’re presence inescapable,
I can never fucking win.
I lie and say I’m better,
Tell my friends I always knew.
But you live inside the silence,
And I don’t know what to do.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
You had every chance to come clean,
But you fed me every line.
Now I’m stuck inside this memory,
A prison of your design.
⸻
[Chorus]
A piece of me still loves you,
No matter how I try to lie.
I try to push it down,
But I can’t drown out the sound.
You were poison in my bloodstream,
And I miss the way it burned.
I never wanted to lose you—
But I guess that’s how we learn.
⸻
[Verse 2]
We don’t talk, but I still answer
When your ghost still in my mind.
You left without a warning,
And wasted all my time.
I wish I could forget it all,
But my memory won’t forgive.
You killed the only part of me
That still remembered how to live.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to write you off in ink,
But your name kept bleeding through.
Now every time I blink
Your names my new tattoo
⸻
[Chorus]
A piece of me still loves you,
No matter how I try to lie.
I try to push it down,
But I can’t drown out the sound.
You were poison in my bloodstream,
And I miss the way it burned.
I never wanted to lose you—
But I guess that’s how we learn.
⸻
[Bridge]
So leave me in the silence
If that’s all I’ll ever be.
You had your truth, I had my heart,
And now I’m left with empty.
[repeat 2x and build.]
The worst part of it all
If it was the middle of the night.
And you called me, said you need me
I’d be there in no time
[Bring this line in hard and build it up to a long note until it comes crashing into the next chorus.]
⸻
[Final Chorus – soft then powerful]
A piece of me still loves you,
No matter how I try to lie.
I try to push it down,
But I can’t drown out the sound.
You were poison in my bloodstream,
And I miss the way it burned.
I never wanted to lose you—
But I guess that’s how we learn.
