Bleeding Apex

Your side of the bed is still a wound Cold sheets hold

the shape of you

I tell myself that time will move But every room still pulls

me through

I keep your name behind my teeth Like if I speak it,

you’ll leave again

I’m breathing in what’s left of us And choking on the oxygen

I can’t let go,

I can’t let go

Your ghost is crushing down my chest I loved you more than

I could hold Now all that love has turned to wreckage I

scream your name into the dark Like you’re still listening somewhere I

can’t let go, I can’t let go

You’re gone, but you’re everywhere

I burned the pictures,

kept the ash It stains my hands,

it stains the past I wear the silence like a chain And

every heartbeat says your name

You took the part that made me whole Then left me fighting

with the hole I hate the way I need you still I

hate that love can feel like this

I can’t let go,

I can’t let go

Your ghost is crushing down my chest I loved you more than

I could hold Now all that love has turned to wreckage I

scream your name into the dark Like you’re still listening somewhere I

can’t let go, I can’t let go

You’re gone, but you’re everywhere Take your shadow off my lungs Take

your memory from my blood I gave you everything I had

Why does losing you feel like death?

I’m still here

I’m still here

But I don’t know who I am without you

I can’t let go,

I can’t let go Your ghost is crushing down my chest

I loved you more than I could hold Now all that love

has turned to wreckage I scream your name until it breaks Until

my voice is only anger I can’t let go,

I can’t let go You’re gone,

but you’re everywhere If love is gone,

why does it stay?

Why does it stay?

Why does it stay?
