Bruises at Midnight

I hear her name in the corner of my mind

Like a cock photo fading under neon signs

Every joke we laughed is a ghost in the hall

I hear it in the silence when the city calls

I said I was fine

But I lied to the rain

Wore my heart like a rose

Then I'm in the shape of pain

And I'm bleeding out in the dark for you

With a broken kind of hope I can't outgrow

If love was a fire, we let it burn through

Now I'm standing in the ash where the blue lights glow

I'm holding on to the sound of your goodbye

Like a knife in the ribs

That I can't set aside

I've got your old hoodie on the back of my chair

Still smells like the summer when we didn't care

Now the morning's hit hard and the room feels small

I trace every scar like a map on the wall

I said I moved on, but I'm still in the fame

Every street looks the same when it carries your name

And I'm bleeding out in the dark for you

With a broken kind of hope I can't outgrow

If love was a fire, we'd let it burn through

Now I'm standing in the ash where the blue lights glow

I'm holding on to the sound of your goodbye

Like a knife in the ribs

That I can't set aside

If I scream into the night, will it bring you back?

Or just shake the walls where my heart fell flat?

I was never built for this kind of losing

But I keep your shadow like a song I'm bruising

And I'm bleeding out in the dark for you

Still chasing every spark that we once knew

If love was a fire that we burned nights through

Now I'm standing in the ash still calling for you

I'm holding on to sounds of your goodbye

Like a knife in the ribs that I can't set aside

I'm still here in the park

With your echo in my chest
