Breath of the Star You Left

[Verse 1] I kept the sheets for you Still in tangled folds Same faint scent, same weight Same ghost in the cold I still reach out in sleep For your steady breath And every aching space Whispers what’s left [Chorus] Star you left Star you left Breathing where I used to rest Star you left Star you left Soft on my skin, a quiet ache in my chest The one I had The one I lose The sweetest sin I never got to choose [Verse 2] I taste your name slow Like a velvet wine Each inhale pulls me back Over that thin line I try to seem composed But my lungs still burn I hear you in the dark For a moment, return [Chorus] Star you left Star you left Breathing where I used to rest Star you left Star you left Soft on my skin, a quiet ache in my chest The one I had The one I lose The sweetest sin I never got to choose [Bridge] If I breathe you out Will you fade away Or stay a fever glow In my every sway I loved you too close I loved too strong Now the hardest part Is sighing this song [Chorus] Star you left Star you left Breathing where I used to rest Star you left Star you left Soft on my skin, a quiet ache in my chest The one I had The one I lose The sweetest sin I never got to choose
