Heavy Healing

Verse 1

Static on the radio dial

The mattress feels a thousand miles wide

Your name tastes like salt in my mouth

I turned the pictures of us face down

Pre-Chorus

But I can still see you in the hallway

Watching the ghosts leave

Keeping the porch light on for nobody

Just waiting for a change of heart

Chorus

And it turns out everyone I worship is a liar

Everyone I ever trusted was just playing with fire

I’m digging for a reason to stay in this house

I’m searching for a way to get the quiet out

It is a heavy kind of healing

Verse 2

Walking to the market at dawn

Passing the house where your mother was born

The dogwood trees look skeletal and gray

You said forever felt like such a long way

Pre-Chorus

But I can still see you in the hallway

Watching the ghosts leave

Keeping the porch light on for nobody

Just waiting for a change of heart

Chorus

And it turns out everyone I worship is a liar

Everyone I ever trusted was just playing with fire

I’m digging for a reason to stay in this house

I’m searching for a way to get the quiet out

It is a heavy kind of healing

Bridge

Cut my hair in the bathroom sink

Told myself I just needed some room to think

Staring at the stranger in the glass

Wondering how much longer this will last

How much longer

How much longer

Chorus

And it turns out everyone I worship is a liar

Everyone I ever trusted was just playing with fire

I’m digging for a reason to stay in this house

I’m searching for a way to get the quiet out

It is a heavy kind of healing
