If I can't have you

Verse 1 I trace the lines you left behind Cold hallways echo with your absence I step through the night like it’s yours to claim A shadow chasing a flame I can’t touch Pre-Chorus I don’t want your heart, I want the ruin The ache that drags me into silence I’m in the corners of your leaving A ghost tethered to your refusal Chorus If I can’t have you, the dark becomes mine The space you left swallows me whole I’ll haunt the edges of your life unseen If I can’t have you, I dissolve I dissolve I dissolve Verse 2 I count the pauses between your words Hear the weight of what you withhold I move through your absence with reckless patience I collect the fragments of a closeness I’ll never own Pre-Chorus I don’t want your heart, I want the ruin The ache that drags me into silence I’m in the corners of your leaving A ghost tethered to your refusal Chorus If I can’t have you, the dark becomes mine The space you left swallows me whole I’ll haunt the edges of your life unseen If I can’t have you, I dissolve I dissolve I dissolve Bridge I am the echo you didn’t hear The pulse behind your quiet nights I am tethered to a longing you ignore And I will burn here, alone Chorus / Final Chorus If I can’t have you, the dark becomes mine The space you left swallows me whole I’ll haunt the edges of your life unseen If I can’t have you, I dissolve Chorus / Final Chorus If I can’t have you, the dark becomes mine The space you left swallows me whole I’ll haunt the edges of your life unseen If I can’t have you, I dissolve I dissolve I dissolve
