Prompt / Lyrics
They said you’d rest in perfect peace But nothing here feels calm The church bells choke the morning air Like guilt wrapped in a psalm I traced your name across the stone My hands won’t let it fade If heaven took you far from me Then heaven made a mistake So tell me now Do you hear me call Or am I screaming at these walls CHORUS So carry on, carry me home Through the black parade of broken bones If you’re gone, then let me know Or haunt me till I lose control You said goodbye like it was fine Like love just learns to decompose If this is how we let you go Then take me with you when you go The roses died before they bloomed Just like the words we said I bit my tongue till it turned blue Still hearing what you said You swore you’d wait on the other side You swore you’d never run But I’m still here in borrowed skin Praying death was wrong So tell me now Was it your choice Or did the dark steal your voice CHORUS So carry on, carry me home Through the black parade of broken bones If you’re gone, then let me know Or haunt me till I lose control You said goodbye like it was fine Like love just learns to decompose If this is how we let you go Then take me with you when you go I would follow you into the fire I would choke on every truth If the ground won’t give you back Then I’ll lie down next to you FINAL CHORUS So carry on, don’t leave me here In white-lined rooms and wasted years If you’re alive inside the dark Then pull me down into your heart You said goodbye like it was fine Like death was something we could choose If this is how we let you go Then I refuse Yeah, I refuse If you’re still listening I never stopped loving you
