. Title Vanishing Heart [Verse 1]
I walked in with one quiet hope
Now it’s scattered on the floor
Your eyes crossed the room like winter
Drawing circles I can’t ignore Shadows climbed the plaster walls
Whispered every word I lack
I kept folding up my silence
Like a letter sealed in black [Pre-Chorus]
I’m smiling but it’s cracking
The truth is kicking in the door
I loved you past the shoreline
I won’t drown for you no more [Chorus]
Carry this vanishing heart from here
Carry this rotting heart from here
I’m fading into atmosphere
While you pull somebody near
Carry this vanishing heart from here
(bury it from here)
Carry this vanishing heart from here [Verse 2]
Some stranger on the terrace lights
Swore that time could still rewind
You poured them all your brightest laugh
The same wine I used to find I said “I’m fine, I’m breathing”
You said “Stay and have some fun”
I drank my quiet sorrow down
Like poison, one by one [Pre-Chorus]
I’m smiling but it’s cracking
The truth is kicking in the door
I loved you past the shoreline
I won’t drown for you no more [Chorus]
Carry this vanishing heart from here
Carry this rotting heart from here
I’m fading into atmosphere
While you pull somebody near
Carry this vanishing heart from here
(bury it from here)
Carry this vanishing heart from here [Bridge]
Tomorrow I’ll be walking
With my coffee and my blame
You’ll float through empty doorways
Singing someone else’s name I’m not cursing, I just know it
I was warmth, now I’m the ghost
If you need me, I’ll be ashes
In the air, raising a toast [Final Chorus]
Carry this vanishing heart from here
Carry this rotting heart from here
I’m fading into atmosphere
While you pull somebody near
Carry this vanishing heart from here
(bury it from here)
Carry this vanishing heart from here I loved you, now I’m leaving
I’ve made the ending clear
Carry this vanishing heart from here
Fold my shadow, dear
