Lyrics
I prayed for Cupid, aimed his arrow at Miles
Instead Pluto swerved, took my parents' lives
Suitcases crying on a midnight drive
Grandma's house in Colorado, thin air, barely alive
I wrote him letters just to feel okay
"How's Colorado?" he asked one day
"You don't want to move here," I finally confessed
"It's quiet like a coffin, yeah... lonely at best.
Miles, can you hear me?
I'm still talkin' to your old reply
Ink's all faded, but I hold it
Like a lifeline, every night
Miles, can you hear me?
I keep whisperin' to the sky
If you're out there, if you're breathin'
Why you leavin' me behind?
Next summer he came, sunlight felt kind
We kissed on my grandma's roof, stars in our eyes
For one small moment the world felt right
Like grief took a breath, stepped out of my life
Then grandma was gone, no warning, no sound
Another goodbye laid flat in the ground
Foster homes taught me how pain behaves
Bruises like lessons I never forgave
I wrote him again, he wrote me back
"What was that blood?" red soaked through the facts
I said "nosebleed," tried to make it light
But silence replied and stayed the night
Things got darker, I needed him bad
"I'm sorry," I wrote, "please help me, I'm cracked"
No answer came, just years alone
Five with the devil as my only home
Miles, can you hear me?
I'm still talkin' to your old reply
Ink's all faded, but I hold it
Like a lifeline, every night
Miles, can you hear me?
I keep whisperin' to the sky
If you're out there, if you're breathin'
Why you leavin' me behind?
Miles, can you hear me?
I'm still talkin' to your old reply
Ink's all faded, but I hold it
Like a lifeline, every night
Miles, can you hear me?
I keep whisperin' to the sky
If you're out there, if you're breathin'
