Chest a War Zone

Verse 1

Coat still on

Shoes by the door

You left your coffee

But you don’t live here anymore

Half-made bed

Indent on your side

I keep my back turned

Like it makes this easier to survive

Pre-Chorus

I’m talking to the mirror

’Cause your voice is in my head

Telling me to breathe, but

You’re the one who left instead (yeah)

Chorus

There’s a hollow in the hallway where you used to hum my name

All your little echoes

Still circling the frame

If loving you was heaven, then why’s my chest a war zone now

I’m calling out to shadows

But you don’t turn around

Verse 2

Keys on the counter

Still on your ring

I twist them in my fingers

Like I’m rewinding everything

Your note in the fruit bowl

Folded three times tight

“Please don’t come and find me”

So I only see you when I close my eyes at night

Pre-Chorus

I’m scrolling through our messages

To feel your typing dots

Arguing with silence

Like it ever answers what I lost (oh)

Chorus

There’s a hollow in the hallway where you used to hum my name

All your little echoes

Still circling the frame

If loving you was heaven, then why’s my chest a war zone now

I’m calling out to shadows

But you don’t turn around

There’s a hollow in the hallway where you used to hum my name

All your little echoes

Still circling the frame

If loving you was heaven, then why’s my chest a war zone now

I’m calling out to shadows

But you don’t turn around

Bridge

I stand in the doorway

Between “we were” and “we’re done”

Every memory in slow fade

Every promise on the run

If I said I’m over you

I’d be lying through my teeth

’Cause every time this house gets quiet

You’re the only sound beneath (yeah, yeah)

Chorus

There’s a hollow in the hallway where you used to hum my name

All your little echoes

Still circling the frame

If loving you was heaven, then why’s my chest a war zone now

I’m calling out to shadows

But you don’t turn around

There’s a hollow in the hallway where you used to hum my name

All your little echoes

Still circling the frame

If loving you was heaven, then why’s my chest a war zone now

I’m calling out to shadows

But you don’t turn around

Outro

Coat still on

Heart still bare

Room full of your absence

I swear you’re everywhere
