[Verse 1] A woman is everything I ever wrote down Every little secret I tried to tear out She wants my shoulder Wants my bed Wants my hands To hold her head But ink on skin still spells your name [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause I remember choosing you first Watching you rehearse Every single word that hurt Every line like a closing door [Chorus] My heart already died the day you left You signed your name across my chest Now you say you want The pieces that are left You want my nights My breath My rest But I’m a torn-up page at best You only call me when you want The pieces that are left (oh) [Verse 2] She laughs at jokes that you would talk right through She doesn’t wear your shade of faded blue She takes my picture Takes my hand Takes me places You never planned Still I trace your ghost in every frame [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause I remember choosing you first Watching you rehearse How to make indifference worse Every shrug like a slammed-down phone [Chorus] My heart already died the day you left You signed your name across my chest Now you say you want The pieces that are left You want my nights My breath My rest But I’m a torn-up page at best You only call me when you want The pieces that are left [Bridge] You don’t get to circle back Pick from what the wreckage has I bled out the best of me Into your hands Into your past So take your could’ve Should’ve Might I’m not your shelter in the night (no) I’m learning how to love the cracks [Chorus] ’Cause my heart already died the day you left You signed your name across my chest Now you say you want The pieces that are left You want my nights My breath My rest But I’m a torn-up page at best If you come knocking Understand You’re not entitled to my mess You had my whole You don’t deserve The pieces that are left
