purgatory

I'm a ghost in the bed we built

Lining sheets that still breathe your name

Your shadow clings to the cracks in the walls

Every silence don't feel the same

I begged the light to burn away

But it flickers out and here I stay

Half alive, half gone

But the chain you left still pulls me on

This is purgatory

Trapped between your heaven and my hell

I'm drowning in the story

That I swore I'd never tell

I can't move forward, can't rewind

Love's a ghost that keeps me tied

This is purgatory

Where your goodbye still survives

Your voice lingers like smoke in my lungs

Every breath tastes like what we lost

I built a shrine of "could've beens"

But it's crumbling under the cost

You're gone but you're everywhere

And I can't escape the way you stare

Half a prayer half a curse

And every word just makes it worse

This is purgatory

Trapped between your heaven and my hell

I'm drowning in the story

That I swore I'd never tell

I can't move forward, can't rewind

Love's a ghost that keeps me tied

This is purgatory

Where your goodbye still survives

If I could burn it down I would

But ashes still remember wood

If I could cut you out I'd bleed

But even wounds still whispering

I'm suspended in the in-between

Where nothing's lost and nothing's clean

This is purgatory

I'm still chained to your ghost

Half of me is dying

Half of me won't let go

I can't move forward, can't rewind

Love's a ghost that keeps me tied

This is purgatory

Where your goodbye never dies

Your goodbye never dies

In purgatory
