June Is Dead to Me

[Verse 1] January whispered through the glass Said, “Don’t get too close, or you’ll freeze your ass” February pulled at my collar Left lipstick on the breeze March was drunk and inconsistent April cried but wouldn’t stay May was kind and kissed my hand But June June took it all away [Chorus] June is dead to me But I still taste her name She lit a match inside my chest Then vanished in the flame She was sandals on the pavement She was sweat against my skin She said, “I’m only passing through” Then left her summer in my grin [Verse 2] July came with distractions August tried to make me sweat September offered candles And October made me forget November brought some silence And December brought some snow But June still echoes in my room Like she never let me go [Chorus] June is dead to me But I still hum her heat She left a sunburn on my memory And danced across my sheets She was lightning in a clear sky She was sugar on my tongue She said, “You’re lovely in the dark” Then left me pale and young [Bridge] They say seasons always turn And every year begins again But no one talks about the ghost That lingers in the wind [Final Chorus] June is dead to me But she still shows up in light I see her in the garden When the sky forgets the night She was everything and nothing Just a moment out of place She said, “I never promised more” Then left her shadow on my face
