The Ache
You left your scarf on my chair Now I’m talking to the air Two blue pills and a cola cup Tryna laugh it off, but it still comes up Your name hit hard in the back of my mind Like a train in the dark, on a bent rail line I wear a grin like it pays the rent But my chest keeps leaking all that sentiment I say I’m fine, I say I’m good I say your ghost don’t own my mood But every small thing drags me under Every small thing pulls me back to you I smile through the ache I smile through the ache Keep dancing with a break Keep dancing with a break One more shot, one more lie Till the hurt turns light I hit the bar by the river bridge Act like I don’t know what love is Laugh too loud, clap on beat While your shadow sits right next to me Sour taste behind my tongue again I’m the joke that I keep inviting in I tell my friends, “Nah, I’m alright” Then I text your old thread at night I say I’m fine, I say I’m good I say your ghost don’t own my mood But every small thing drags me under Every small thing pulls me back to you I smile through the ache I smile through the ache Keep dancing with a break Keep dancing with a break One more shot, one more lie Till the hurt turns light Du warst wie Sommergewitter im Kopf erst warm, dann knallhart, und dann war’s plötzlich aus ich lauf durch die Stadt, doch dein Schatten bleibt in meinem Drink, in der Jacke, im Halbdunkel-Hype ich sag „alles easy“, doch innerlich dünn zu viel Kram im Bauch, ich komm nicht mehr hin Berlin zieht vorbei, doch ich bleib am Fleck mit ’nem Lächeln aus Plastik und ’nem Herz aus Dreck If I wake up clean, Austrian girl, will I still miss you? If I wash it off, will it still cut through? I keep the party face, but the room knows Some wounds don’t leave when the bass slows I smile through the fucking ache I smile through the fucking ache Keep dancing with a fucked-up break Keep dancing with a fucked-up break One more shot, one more fucking lie Till the hurt turns light I smile through the fucking ache I smile through the fucking ache Still move, still fake Still move, still fake Till the hurt turns light
