Another You

I saw your ghost in the rearview

Like a lie I once believed

The night moved all around me

And I forgot to grieve

I tried to stitch the silence

But the thread was made of glass

Every word I didn't say

Still cuts like it was the last

I don't want another you

I want the monsters we became

I want the fights, the fucked up nights

The way you whispered through the pain

I don't want a cleaner version

I want the scars that knew my name

I don't want another you

I just wanted it to change

I traced your voice through the static

Like a map I couldn't read

You were always half a promise

And I was always on my knees

Let the echoes break the silence

Let the melody decay

I'll light a candle in your memory

And watch fire chase the dark away

You were never mine to keep

But fuck, you felt like home

Now I'm dancing with your absence

In a house I'll burn alone

I don't need another you

I need the wreckage to be mine

I'll wear the pain like armor

And bleed it into every line

I don't want a cleaner ending

I want the chaos we survived

I don't need another you

I need the fire to stay alive
