Between the Lines We Bleed

I trace your name in cigarette smoke,

Every memory tastes like hope,

But it burns out just the same,

Every time I call your name

You left me standing in the rain,

With a heart that still feels pain,

I replay what we used to be,

Now it’s just a ghost of you and me

Tell me why we had to fall,

If we meant nothing at all

We’re breaking in between the lines we bleed,

Drowning in the words we couldn’t say we need

If love was real, then why’d it disappear?

Now I’m screaming into empty atmosphere

Hold me close, then let me go,

We were fire turned to snow

In the silence, I still hear your voice,

But it fades… like a dying noise

Photos fade on my bedroom wall,

Shadows of a painful call,

Every smile we used to fake,

Now just echoes that won’t break

I wore your lies like they were truth,

Lost myself in loving you,

Now I’m piecing what remains,

Of a love that left no name

We were never built to last,

Just a moment in the past

We’re breaking in between the lines we bleed,

Drowning in the words we couldn’t say we need

If love was real, then why’d it disappear?

Now I’m screaming into empty atmosphere

Hold me close, then let me go,

We were fire turned to snow

In the silence, I still hear your voice,

But it fades… like a dying noise

If I could rewrite every scar you left behind,

Would you still be yours… would you still be mine?

Or are we just two hearts that missed the sign?

(Soft, fading)

I still feel you…

Even now…

We’re breaking in between the lines we bleed,

Chasing ghosts of what we used to need

If love was real, it wouldn’t feel this cold,

Like a story that was never told

Hold me close, then let me go,

Watch the embers lose their glow

In the silence, I still hear your voice,

But it fades… and I have no choice
