Lyrics
You’re a ghost
On the couch we bought last spring
Eyes like empty picture frames
Staring straight through everything
Pills lined up
Beside our wedding rings
I hold my breath to hear you breathe
I can’t fix a single thing
This sickness built a wall inside our bed
I’m lying next to you and feel half-dead
It’s stealing all the light we used to know
I’m praying for the girl I knew to come back home
Come back home
Come back home
I’m screaming at the sky
Return the love you stole
Every day
Feels like walking through wet sand
Dragging both our broken hearts
By a fraying
Shaking hand
I hate this
The way I hate myself
For counting all the times you fall
For wishing you were someone else
This sickness built a wall inside our bed
I’m lying next to you and feel half-dead
It’s stealing all the light we used to know
I’m praying for the girl I knew to come back home
Come back home
Come back home
I’m screaming at the sky
Return the love you stole
I am not your doctor
I am not your cure (no more)
I am just a man
Crushed under what I endure
I would tear my veins out
Trade my every breath
If it meant you’d climb back
From the grip of this slow death
But it owns you
It owns me
This disease wears your face
And it lives in our sheets
I can’t save you
(I can’t save you)
I can’t save you
(I can’t save you)
God
I miss you
While you’re lying in my arms
Bring her back to me
Or tear this house apart
This sickness built a wall inside our bed
I’m lying next to you and feel half-dead
It’s stealing all the light we used to know
I’m praying for the girl I knew to come back home
Come back home
Come back home
If you ever find the strength to stand
I’ll be waiting in the ruins of the life we planned
