Black Mascara Tears

[Verse 1] Eyes like smeared eyeliner Ashtray on the windowsill Coffee cold You’re still on read Ghost in every text I kill Old band tee on your chair Necklace tangled in my sheets All your echoes in my room Marching in their combat boots [Chorus] Black mascara tears Running down my years Every day you’re gone Is ink on my arms Carved you in my skin Just to feel you near I keep losing you In black mascara tears [Verse 2] Photos pinned with crooked tacks Every smile a tiny knife We were thunder in the backseat Now it’s feedback in my mind Scrolling through our private jokes Laughing just to hear a sound Talk to shadows on the ceiling Swear they answer when I’m down (yeah) [Chorus] Black mascara tears Running down my years Every day you’re gone Is ink on my arms Carved you in my skin Just to feel you near I keep losing you In black mascara tears [Bridge] I still set your place At the table in my head Sing your favorite chorus To the emptiness instead If you’re out there somewhere Dancing in another life Would you save one slow song For the boy you left behind? (oh) [Chorus] Black mascara tears Running down my years Every day you’re gone Is ink on my arms Carved you in my skin Just to feel you near I keep losing you I keep choosing you Through black mascara tears
