Levitate (Duet Version)

O.C.F. [INTRO] I learned how to quiet the clock when your silence comes through, Pocket full of old prayers I left un-used. Life has been a mess made of shades of blue, Every day that I'm here trying to live without you. [VERSE 1] I keep a calendar of empty dates, She goes out every night, I drown the pain while she wins every fight, You wear a smile I could never fake, Like Script said, its never even when a heart breaks, I found how an empty bed feels, When yours was never cold. It still holds your outline like a dent that never heals, A physical representation of the depression you left me to hold. [PRE-CHORUS] You say you had your reasons, You say you needed freedom, But I never chained you, And I never kept you hidden, [CHORUS] You got the air to breathe, I got the weight to carry, You took the higher road, I'm left in the hole you buried, Love's never split on equal terms, There's no even lines to fate, I’m picking up the pieces burned, While you learned to levitate. [VERSE 2] They say the ache will lessen, But echoes learn to last, Sunlight shines on your present, My past spins in the glass. I learn to say I’m fine in rooms you once used, You keep the easy laughter, I keep the ruddy blues. If freedom is a hallway that you walked out into, I’m the picture on the mantel that still aches for you. [PRE-CHORUS] They hand you pretty reasons, Neat excuses wrapped in gold, But silver lines don’t stitch a chest, when someone’s heart's gone cold. [CHORUS] You got the air to breathe, I got the weight to carry, You took the higher road, I'm left in the hole you buried, Love's never split on equal terms, There's no even lines of fate, I’m picking up the pieces burned, While you learned to levitate. [BRIDGE] What do you do with a heart that keeps returning to the place you used to be? What do you say when the truth is you were never happy with me? I whisper to the empty room the vows I couldn’t keep, I trace the little hollow where our promises used to sleep. [CHORUS] You got the air to breathe, I got the weight to carry, You took the higher road, I'm left in the hole you buried, Love's never split on equal terms, There's no even lines of fate, I’m picking up the pieces burned, While you learned to levitate. [OUTRO] You got the air to breathe, I got the weight to carry, You took the higher road, I'm left in the hole you buried— You got the air to breathe, I got the weight to carry, You took the higher road, I'm left in the hole you buried— Love's never split on equal terms, There's no even lines of fate, I’m picking up the pieces burned, While you learned to levitate.
