Keeping Your Name by Talking in Reverse

Verse 1

I watched the fire eat the bridge I built

Every stone I stacked just turned to ash

You called it love but love don't wound like that

Now I'm picking glass out of my own skin

Pre-Chorus

Don't tell me that you never meant to break it

Don't stand there with your hands clean

Chorus

I'm holding on to the anger

But my heart still keeps your name

Half of me is screaming red

Half of me still wants the same

And I'm burning southern slow

While you're cold in your own game

Post-Chorus

The anger and the heart

The anger and the heart

Verse 2

I found your letter in the floorboard crack

Every line you wrote was a thin disguise

You saved your pride but left your half of mine

Now the nothing's loud inside this room tonight

Pre-Chorus

Don't come knockin' when the smoke rolls over

Don't expect my arms to hold

Chorus

I'm holding on to the anger

But my heart still keeps your name

Half of me is screaming red

Half of me still wants the same

And I'm burning southern slow

While you're cold in your own game

Post-Chorus

The anger and the heart

The anger and the heart

Bridge

I could be still

Could be quiet

Could be good

But it's loud where you left me

And I'd flood this town

Just to drown out

What you could

Chorus

I'm holding on to the anger

But my heart still keeps your name

Half of me is screaming red

Half of me still wants the same

And I'm burning southern slow

While you're cold in your own game

Post-Chorus

The anger and the heart

The anger and the heart
