[Verse 1]
You were thunder in a small town room
Slamming doors just to feel the boom
We carved our names in the kitchen tile
Said
If we break
We break in style
Now the phone glows
On an empty nightstand
All your jackets
Still reach for my hand
There’s a silence
Where your shouting stayed
But even silence
Keeps your shape
[Chorus]
Death just changed the way we touch
You’re the cut that doesn’t close
Burning on in every scar you made
You’re the ghost I lean on hard
In the places no one knows
’Cause this hurt became a love that never fades
Yeah this hurt became a love that never fades
[Verse 2]
I still talk like you’re right there
Bored
Arguing with the kitchen drawer
Your black boots by the broken chair
Daring me to say you’re not here
Every bad fight
Plays like old home films
Every sharp word
Softens at the rim
If this is losing
Why do you remain
In every heartbeat
Calling out your name
[Chorus]
Death just changed the way we touch
You’re the cut that doesn’t close
Burning on in every scar you made
You’re the ghost I lean on hard
In the places no one knows
’Cause this hurt became a love that never fades
Yeah this hurt became a love that never fades
[Bridge]
If the body breaks
The vow still breathes
In the jagged cracks
Between my teeth
If the light goes out
You stain the dark
Every shattered piece
Still shaped like your heart (like your heart)
[Chorus]
Death just changed the way we touch
You’re the cut that doesn’t close
Burning on in every scar you made
You’re the ghost I lean on hard
In the places no one knows
’Cause this hurt became a love that never fades
Every ending feeds the fire that we made
Yeah this death became a love that never fades
