[Intro] my tears fall like Little crooked notes , take me slow Let it ache [Verse 1] I kept memories , like running my fingers through your hair thought you'd come back to me The night kept your shape In the dent of the sheets I laughed when it hurt Then it laughed right back Now the pain in my skull is blooming like dead flowers [Pre-Chorus] And I tried to stay clean Tried to be strong But the taste of whiskey in my mouth Stays all night long The walls keep talking Soft and low Saying stay Saying go [Chorus] You broke me open slow I let you go, you acted like it didn't hurt well how about that [Verse 2] Your ghost in the glass Your smoke in the room I pour one more pour Just to blur out the night My hands still remember Where yours used to land Every goodbye I swallow Turns sand in my hand [Pre-Chorus] And I tried to be clean Tried to be strong But taste of whiskey in my mouth Stays all night long The walls keep talking Soft and low Saying stay Saying go [Chorus] You broke me open slow I let you go, you acted like it didn't hurt well how about that [Bridge] If love is a bruise Then mine still glows If pain is a prayer Then I already know I don't need a rescue Just a place to fall One more quiet ending That's all, that's all [Final Chorus] You broke me open slow I let you go, [Outro] Let it fade away Till nothing stays
