[Verse 1] I said I'm clean but I lied last night Took a hit just to feel alright Mirror's cracking with a plastic smile Yeah, I miss her and I hate that style Empty bottles on the hotel sink I still see her when I try to blink She said “love me or just let me be” Now she’s gone and I’m stuck with me [Pre-Chorus] I know, I know, I break what I hold Touch turns cold, stories unfold Can’t write love in a line of white But I try every goddamn night [Chorus] She’s gone but she’s back in my veins Like a song I can't escape I burn what I can’t contain Call it love, call it pain Every high ends the same She's the ghost I can’t explain And I’m high on the shame Back in my veins [Verse 2] Smoke and silence on a backstage floor Told myself I won’t call no more But the screen lights up, it’s just my name Staring back like I’m the one to blame (Pre-Chorus) I know, I know, I ruin the best Love in me just fails the test Can’t hold hands with a haunted heart But I try and I fall apart [Chorus] She’s gone but she’s back in my veins Like a song I can't escape I burn what I can’t contain Call it love, call it pain Every high ends the same She's the ghost I can’t explain And I’m high on the shame Back in my veins [Bridge] We were art, we were war I keep knocking on her door But she left and she won’t come home Still I sleep with her cologne [Final Chorus] She’s gone but she’s back in my veins And I swear I’ll never change But I bend and I break For a past I can’t fake Every smile is a chain And I’m drowning in the rain But I still taste her name Back in my veins
