[Verse 1]
Cold floor
Coffee gone to mud
Wedding photos
Staring like a judge
Your dress in a box
Buried in the hall
Vows in my head
Like nails in the wall
[Pre-Chorus]
I replay the day
White and gold and lies
Your trembling hands
Now I know why
Can’t kill the thought
It just digs in deep
I don’t even trust
The way that I breathe
[Chorus]
I wear this ring like a wound on my hand
Every memory burns
I don’t understand
You tore our house down brick by brick
Left me with the ghosts and the sickness
I can’t move on
I just stand here and swing
Punching at shadows
Choking on the sting
You walked away with everything
Left me ashes on the ring
[Verse 2]
Your text
Like a blade in the dark
"Need to talk"
Then you ripped out my heart
Saw his name
Lighting up your phone
You were already gone
I was sleeping alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Our first dance
Plays loud in my skull
Smiling faces
Fading
Overexposed
Can’t scrape you out
You’re carved in my nerves
All that I gave
Is all you deserved?
[Chorus]
I wear this ring like a wound on my hand
Every memory burns
I don’t understand
You tore our house down brick by brick
Left me with the ghosts and the sickness
I can’t move on
I just stand here and swing
Punching at shadows
Choking on the sting
You walked away with everything
Left me ashes on the ring
[Bridge]
[Band drops to distant
Echoing guitars]
I am not your victim (not your prize)
I am not your silence (not your lie)
You don’t get to live inside
Every corner of my mind
[Choked scream
Drums slam back in]
So take your poison
Take your name
I’ll burn the pictures
Keep the pain
‘Cause one day it won’t own me
One day it won’t own me (hey!)
[Chorus]
I wear this ring like a wound on my hand
Every memory burns
I don’t understand
You tore our house down brick by brick
Left me with the ghosts and the sickness
I can’t move on
But I’m learning to swing
Bleeding these verses till I feel something
You walked away
I’m still here
Breathing
From these ashes
I’ll break this ring
