[Verse] The night was blacker than the pit of regret A crack in the wall a crack in my chest The floorboards groaned like they knew my sin I reached for the bottle but it stared me thin [Chorus] The crack it swallowed the love I knew A chasm deep where the roses grew I tried to hold it but it slipped away Now love’s a ghost that won’t ever stay [Verse 2] Shadows whisper like old Cruel friends The clock keeps ticking but it never mends Her voice a song now just static and noise I scream to the ceiling but it eats my voice [Prechorus] What’s a heart when it’s torn in two What’s a man when love’s untrue [Chorus] The crack it swallowed the love I knew A chasm deep where the roses grew I tried to hold it but it slipped away Now love’s a ghost that won’t ever stay [Bridge] Saxophone crying bleeding through the night A wail for the broken for the loss of light Guitar screaming tearing at the seams A solo for the shattered and forgotten dreams
