[Intro]
Late texts
Unsent drafts
Name on my tongue
Blood in my laugh (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Peyton, I write you in red on the mirror
Smear it with my thumb till your face gets nearer
I keep your handle in a folder on my phone
Scroll so deep, every pixel is a bone
I know your hallway, the squeak in your stair
Know how you twist up your ring when you’re scared
Caught you at midnight, closing your blinds
But you left one crack and I slipped inside
[Chorus]
This is my love, my fucked up letter
Torn-up pages, thinking you’ll feel better
I’m in the dark, you’re under my skin
Closed curtains, I’m still looking in
Call it obsession, I call it forever
You try to run, I cut the tether
You lock the doors, I’m already in
Closed curtains, I’m still looking in (yeah)
[Verse 2]
I map your footsteps in dust on the floor
Count every shadow that falls on your door
Heard you cry softly, curled on your bed
Sat in the hallway and mouthed every word that you said
I left a note that you never quite found
Under the loose board, deep in the ground
“If you ever vanish, it’s ‘cause you’re with me”
Signed with a smile and a smeared little “P”
[Chorus]
This is my love, my fucked up letter
Torn-up pages, thinking you’ll feel better
I’m in the dark, you’re under my skin
Closed curtains, I’m still looking in
Call it obsession, I call it forever
You try to run, I cut the tether
You lock the doors, I’m already in
Closed curtains, I’m still looking in
[Bridge]
Every breath you take feels leased from me (from me)
Every locked room still has a key
I carved your name where my pulse should be
If I can’t have you
You can’t leave
[Chorus]
This is my love, my fucked up letter
Torn-up pages, thinking you’ll feel better
I’m in the dark, you’re under my skin
Closed curtains, I’m still looking in
Call it obsession, I call it forever
You try to run, I cut the tether
You lock the doors, I’m already in
Closed curtains, I’m still looking in
