[Verse 1]
You said forever in the driveway
Keys in your hand
Eyes on your phone
I laughed it off
But my chest burned
Knowing you were halfway gone
Used to be easy to believe you
Like breathing in a summer room
Now every promise feels heavy
Falls and shatters in the gloom
[Chorus]
I’m losing hope in the shape of us
Every crack just turns to rust
Falling further from the kid I knew
The one who thought that love was true
I’m reaching through the smoke and noise
Trying to find that softer voice
I’m breaking
But I’m not destroyed
I’m crawling back to the boy in the mirror
[Verse 2]
I flinch when someone says “I got you”
Smile and change the subject quick
Count the exits in every doorway
Trust feels like another trick
Used to give pieces out so freely
Now I keep them in a drawer
I don’t like who I’m becoming
Cold and quiet
Wanting more
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Some days I almost see him
Mud on his shoes
Light in his grin
Hands held out to every stranger
Never thinking of the end
I talk to him in the silence
Tell him that I lost my way
He just nods and keeps on walking
Leaves his footprints in my day [crescendo]
[Chorus]
