Lyric

You pressed your hand

Flat on my chest

Said

"Promise me something"

Then left the rest

We danced on doubt

On shattered tile

I learned your heartbeat

Counted every mile

You were sugar on a knife

Cutting through my quiet life

Sweet on the edge

Then you twist

Then you slide

Laugh in my arms while you sharpen the side

I keep licking all the pain you leave behind

You were sugar

On a knife

We shared a room

Split down the line

Your side was thunder

Mine just tried to shine

You named a star

Then called it ours

I watched you give it

To someone in a bar

You were thunder in a glass

Shaking every fragile past

Soft on my shoulder

Then you crack

Then you crash

Turn all my careful into splinter and ash

I keep holding every shard you left to hide

You were thunder

In a glass

Your sweater hangs

On my back door

Threadbare confession

You don't wear anymore

I breathe you in

Till my lungs sting

Your ghost keeps humming

Every stupid spring

You were winter in July

Snow behind my swollen eyes

Warm on my mouth

Then you freeze

Then you fly

Turn all our plans into vapor in the sky

I keep burning every letter you denied

You were winter

In July

I pass the place

We used to meet

That crooked table

Two chipped chairs

One heartbeats

I take your seat

Face the empty air

Ask every silence

If you ever cared

You were the almost of my life

Half a promise

Half a lie

Close in my arms

Then you slip

Then you slide

Turn "always" into "almost" overnight

I keep loving what you never tried to write

You were almost

My life

If I could go back

I'd still choose the sting

I'd still take the crumble

For one more spring

You broke me open

Now everything shines

I tasted heaven

On a borrowed time
