Lyrics
Intro
Yeah... yeah...
another night.
Verse 1
Selfish little thoughts crawlin' round my head
Every time I see your face, my smile turns to something dead
Got no dreams left worth the raow, just the taste of salt and smoke
Sittin' with Marlboro lights, watching the cherry choke
Pre-Chorus 1
You said you'd be here, promised you'd never leave
Got this hollow in me where you used to be
Every tick of the clock crushes me, heavy as a rock
Squeezin' my heart out...
Chorus 1
These scars of love, they carve me deeper every day
Every laugh I force just drains the breath from me
I wanna let you go but my hands won't unclench
Tell me what warmth feels like again...
yeah, tell me how it felt back then
Instrumental Break
Verse 2
Back at the same haunt, starin' at your empty chair
"Coffee black, unsweet", the warmth no longer there
Here I’m pissed on something cheap, cold as fuckin' hell
Nothin' left to taste just the stories my tongue can't tell
Pre-Chorus 2
You said you'd be here, but there's strangers in your place
Every love song's a lie I can't get up to face
Every day's a long walk to the edge of something numb
Pourin' my heart out...
Chorus 2
These stains of love, they crystallize in my chest
Every tear I cry just dresses up this mess
I wanna let you go but my hands won't unclench
Don't you get it? Don't you get it yet?
Bridge
I still feel your arms... the weight of you around me
Your quiet breath, that smile you’d drown me in
All those tiny nothings built a life on the sly
So why the fuck you walk out that door?
Yeah... tell me why...
Build Up
Na na na, every smile just pulls the scars apart
Na na na, every tear's a jewel in this broken heart
And I'm still waitin' like a fool...
Flickin' my hair playing it all cool
Chorus 3
These stains of love, they crystallize in my chest
Every tear I cry just dresses up this mess
I wanna let you go but my hands won't unclench
Show me, show me... yeah...
Breakdown
The sweetness we had... it's ghosted, it's gone...
Like the last drag of this fag...
Final Chorus
These scars of love, they carve me deeper every day
Every laugh I force just fuckin' wastes me away
I wanna let you go but my hands won't unclench
So leave me just a little...
just a little sweetness... for once, for once...
...maybe this once.
Melismatic Outro
Unsweet...
Yeah... unsweet...
