[Verse 1]
I chased smoke through a forest of questions,
Thought I found heaven in a hurricane’s breath—
She moved like a secret I’d die to unravel,
Left footprints in fire, and I followed each step.
She smiled like she knew the punchline to life,
And laughed like she'd already bled from the joke.
She spoke in riddles, I clung to the syllables,
Held every word like a lifeboat of hope.
We whispered under stars, drank from the void,
Talked death like it was just another book to enjoy.
But some pages end too soon, too torn—
One night she left, and never got to the next point.
[Hook]
I saw her fade through rearview haze,
Like smoke from the end of a dream I chased.
Now I lie awake, trying to trace
The map to a soul that never stayed.
She was thunder bottled in skin,
But you can’t hold lightning, not even within.
And I still ask why—
But the answers don't come, and neither does she.
[Verse 2]
They say don’t idolize pain, but I do.
Built altars in my mind for a girl I never knew.
Knew the laugh, not the scars.
Knew the spark, not the dark.
Thought I was close, but I was miles apart.
The night cracked like a gunshot in my chest,
She vanished like a myth no one's finished yet.
I called it love, but maybe it was need—
To believe in someone wild enough to leave.
Tried to solve it like a puzzle in the rain,
But grief ain’t math, and death don’t explain.
I searched for signs in cigarettes and prayer,
But she wasn’t an answer—just a dare.
[Hook]
I saw her fade through rearview haze,
Like smoke from the end of a dream I chased.
Now I lie awake, trying to trace
The map to a soul that never stayed.
She was thunder bottled in skin,
But you can’t hold lightning, not even within.
And I still ask why—
But the answers don't come, and neither does she.
[Bridge]
She was chaos wrapped in silk,
A warning I mistook for wonder.
I wanted the “Great Perhaps,”
But she showed me the great “I wonder…”
Where do they go?
Why do they run?
How do you grieve for a ghost you never truly won?
[Outro]
She left
