[Verse 1]
I kept your glass on the sill
Frost on the rim, still
Your coat on the chair by the door
Like you might come back for more
The house makes a sound when it bends
A pipe in the wall, it begs
I trace your name in the dust
Then swallow the taste of rust
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why it still burns
When the whole room turns
Tell me why I stand here
Like a ghost in a mirror
[Chorus]
Hold me up, then let me fall
I still hear you in the wall
Hold me up, then let me bleed
You were the need in me
(hold me up)
(you were the need in me)
[Verse 2]
Your note in the drawer went pale
Ink like a fading trail
I washed the stain from my hands
But it came right back again
I drove past the old fruit stand
Saw your ring on my skin
The red marks under my sleeve
Looked like they were made for me
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why it still burns
When the whole room turns
Tell me why I stand here
Like a ghost in a mirror
[Chorus]
Hold me up, then let me fall
I still hear you in the wall
Hold me up, then let me bleed
You were the need in me
(hold me up)
(you were the need in me)
[Bridge]
I scream through the salt in my mouth
I climb, then I crash back down
If I break, let it be clean
Let the dark finally leave me
[Final Chorus]
Hold me up, then let me fall
I still hear you in the wall
Hold me up, then let me bleed
You were the need in me
Hold me up, don’t let me drown
I’m still here, I’m still sound
Hold me up, then let me bleed
You were the need in me
(hold me up)
(you were the need in me)
