I Still Let You In, Pt. 2

I still let you in when the door was locked

You still get a piece when the rest forgot

You still got a key to the hurt I hide

Still live in the part of my chest that died

Love wasn't enough, but I gave too much

And you still light me up like a loaded crutch

Ash on the floor where the fire burned out

Your voice in my head is a quiet shout

I can't escape what the night still keeps

I lay awake while the memory sleeps

Told myself I'd heal, told myself I'd move

But I keep falling back to the ghost of you

The strings go quiet, the room turns cold

But the hurt don't fade, it just grows on

I still let you in when the door was locked

You still get a piece when the rest forgot

You still got a key to the hurt I hide

Still live in the part of my chest that died

Love wasn't enough, but I gave too much

And you still light me up like a loaded crutch

No crowd around, just an empty chair

No echoes left in the midnight air

I sang our story till the strings gave way

But the silence still has the last word to say

Every song I wrote just bleeds the same

Every scar I carry still calls your name

And if the lights go out, I'll sing it true

The last word I'll ever know is you

I still let you in when the door was locked

You still get a piece when the rest forgot

You still got a key to the hurt I hide

Still live in the part of my chest that died

Love wasn't enough, but I gave too much

And you still light me up like a loaded crutch
