I'm staring at the ceiling, tracing all the cracks
Counting all the reasons we can't take it back
The records are all silent, your jacket's on the chair
I'm breathing, but it doesn't feel like I'm pulling air
You said "it's for the best," but your voice was hollow
(Spoken) A pill that I don't think I can swallow.
My mind is playing static, a broken LCD
It's showing me your face, but you're not looking at me
I'm all dressed up for dancing, but I'm not gonna go
There's a question in my throat that I don't want to know
This is the part that hurts, the confusion and the ache
When "us" becomes a "you" and a "me" and a mistake
This is the sound of empty, the space you left behind
A future that we built, just to see it undefined
The heartache is a rhythm, a beat I can't escape
And the pain is just the outline, I'm stuck inside the shape.
I'm making coffee for two, then I remember
It's just another cold day in this forever-November
I walk through all the rooms, and they feel too big now
I'm looking for the "why," but I don't know "how"
How did we just crash? How did we lose the light?
(Spoken) I'm on the wrong side of the longest night.
My mind is playing static, a broken LCD
It's showing me your face, but you're not looking at me
I'm all dressed up for dancing, but I'm not gonna go
There's a question in my throat that I don't want to know
This is the part that hurts, the confusion and the ache
When "us" becomes a "you" and a "me" and a mistake
This is the sound of empty, the space you left behind
A future that we built, just to see it undefined
The heartache is a rhythm, a beat I can't escape
And the pain is just the outline, I'm stuck inside the shape.
They say "just give it time"
But time is moving slow
And every single second
Is another "no"
Another "won't come back"
Another "all alone"
I'm dancing with your ghost, and the music's frozen...
This is the part that hurts, the confusion and the ache!
(Ad-lib: It just keeps hurting!)
When "us" becomes a "you" and a "me" and a mistake!
This is the sound of empty, the space you left behind
A future that we built, just to see it undefined
The heartache is a rhythm, a beat I can't escape
And the pain is just the outline, I'm stuck inside the shape.
Stuck inside the shape.
The confusion and the ache.
Just an empty frequency.
Just me.
