[Verse 1] You left your mark in the drywall Thumbprint in the paint I traced it with a cheap ring Like that could make you stay Your boots by the door still scuff me Every time I pass I hate how even silence Still sounds like your laugh [Pre-Chorus] I kept the broken picture I kept the crooked frame If this is where you vanished Then say it to my face [Chorus] Hit me hard, blacktop halo I’m still standing in the blow Hit me hard, blacktop halo You can’t take what I outgrow I burn, I bend, I rise I keep my name alive Hit me hard, blacktop halo I’m still standing in the blow [Verse 2] I wore your favorite jacket Till it felt like a lie Now it hangs like a warning On the back of my life The mirror learned my shoulders Without your hands on them I found a voice in the wreckage That you never could dim [Pre-Chorus] I heard the old lie breathing At the edge of my mouth But every step I take now Turns the whole thing around [Chorus] Hit me hard, blacktop halo I’m still standing in the blow Hit me hard, blacktop halo You can’t take what I outgrow I burn, I bend, I rise I keep my name alive Hit me hard, blacktop halo I’m still standing in the blow [Bridge] Let the whole room shake Let the walls remember I was made from the crack and the flame Not the falling under [Break] Oh-oh, I’m not your shadow Oh-oh, I’m not your afterglow [Final Chorus] Hit me hard, blacktop halo I’m still standing in the blow Hit me hard, blacktop halo You can’t take what I outgrow I burn, I bend, I rise I keep my name alive Hit me hard, blacktop halo I’m still standing in the blow
