[Verse 1]
Ash on the table
Your old chair
Turned to the wall
Coffee cup
Stain in the ring
Like time just stalled
You taught me to swing first
Now I’m fighting a ghost in the hall
Every picture on the fridge
Feels like a brick
Feels like a fall
[Pre-Chorus]
You were there when I broke my teeth
Laughing while you wiped the blood
Now my hands shake at the sink
Sink full of rust
Sink full of mud
[Chorus]
I got grief in the rearview
Staring back
Face in the glass when the road turns black
You were my backbone
Now my bones just crack
Screaming your name till my lungs collapse
Where do I aim all this rage and regret?
Hit the gas hard just to try and forget
You raised this wreck from the dirt and the debt
Now I burn down the sky
But you’re gone
You’re gone
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Used to fold my busted days
Like shirts in a drawer
Neat and tight
Now they’re scattered on a stained floor
Can’t tell wrong from right
I still hear your boots by the door
Three slow steps and a tired sigh
But it’s pipes in the wall
It’s heat in the vents
Cruel little tricks that the dark lets slide
[Pre-Chorus]
You were there when the world talked cheap
You said
“Stand up
Don’t bow your head”
Now I punch holes in my own chest
Trying to feel something instead
[Chorus]
I got grief in the rearview
Staring back
Face in the glass when the road turns black
You were my backbone
Now my bones just crack
Screaming your name till my lungs collapse
Where do I aim all this rage and regret?
Hit the gas hard just to try and forget
You raised this wreck from the dirt and the debt
Now I burn down the sky
But you’re gone
You’re gone
Yeah
[Bridge]
If there’s a room where the hurt runs out
Save me a seat by the busted light
I’ll bring all the words I never said
Lay them down
Then kill the night (kill the night)
[Chorus]
I got grief in the rearview
Staring back
Face in the glass when the road turns black
You were my backbone
Now my bones just crack
Screaming your name till my lungs collapse
Where do I aim all this rage and regret?
Hit the gas hard just to try and forget
You raised this wreck from the dirt and the debt
Now I burn down the sky
But you’re gone
You’re gone
Yeah
