Lyrics

[Intro]

Yeah

It’s still here

Thought time would fix it

But time just… stretched it out

[Verse 1]

I still set a plate where you used to sit

Catch myself mid-reach, hand shaking in the kitchen

Your hoodie on the chair like you’ll come back and grab it

I talk into the silence, it just listens

Got your number in my phone, can’t delete that

Scroll up to the last “I love you”, then I freeze, crash

Everybody saying, “you should really try to move past”

How, when the past is the only thing that I still have

I wear your name like a chain around my neck

Heavy little halo that just drags me to the deck

Mama asking how I’m doing, I just lie and say “I’m blessed”

But I close the door and crumble, I’m a storm beneath this vest

[Chorus]

It’s a weight that won’t let go

Got a ghost in my chest, in my bones, in my throat

Every breath feels like borrowed time

I’m stuck in the day that I watched you die

This weight that won’t let go

I carry you everywhere I go

If healing means I lose you slow

Then I’ll stay broken, I’ll stay broke

[Verse 2]

Every mirror in the house got your reflection

Not your face, but the space where you’re missing is a question

Friends say, “pull up”, but I cancel last second

Can’t fake laughs when I still hear your last sentence

“They’ll be fine” is what you said before you left us

But I ain’t fine, I’m a fault line, restless

I replay that day in my head like a movie

Every frame sharper, every cut still moving

I’ve been sleeping in your old band tee

Holes in the collar, but it’s holding what’s left of me

Scent almost gone, but I dig in deep

Like if I breathe hard enough, you’ll breathe with me

Therapist talking ‘bout acceptance

But I built my whole world on your presence

So if letting go is the lesson

I’d rather keep failing the questions

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m tired of “it gets better”

The days just blur together

My heart’s a loaded letter

Addressed to you, returned to sender

[Chorus]

It’s a weight that won’t let go

Got a ghost in my chest, in my bones, in my throat

Every breath feels like borrowed time

I’m stuck in the day that I watched you die

This weight that won’t let go

I carry you everywhere I go

If healing means I lose you slow

Then I’ll stay broken, I’ll stay broke

[Verse 3]

I don’t visit where you’re buried, I just talk to the sky

Feel guilty for the distance, but I’m closer when I hide

Grief got rules that I never learned to follow

Some days I’m a mountain, most days I’m hollow

I keep your old texts saved in a folder

Read them when the nights keep getting colder

You said “promise me you’ll live a little longer”

How I’m supposed to honor that when I ain’t getting stronger?

I still hear your keys at the door late

Still flinch when the floorboard creaks in the hallway

Almost call your name when I’m half-awake

Then my throat locks up like a car on the highway

People say “they live on in your heart”

But that just means you’re gone and I’m ripped apart

They don’t see me in the dark when the panic starts

Talking to the ceiling like it’s sacred art

[Chorus]

It’s a weight that won’t let go

Got a ghost in my chest, in my bones, in my throat

Every breath feels like borrowed time

I’m stuck in the day that I watched you die

This weight that won’t let go

I carry you everywhere I go

If healing means I lose you slow

Then I’ll stay broken, I’ll stay broke
