Paper Walls

[Verse 1] Found your mug in the back of the cupboard Lipstick ring that I never could scrub out Tiny ghost on the edge of the porcelain Taking up space in this quiet house [Chorus] I still set your side of the bed Fold the sheets like you’ll be back any second Every small thing cuts like a confession Longing like a storm in my chest I replay what I never said Every word that I swallowed keeps wrecking Standing in the ruins of my own reflection Drowning in regret [Verse 2] I rehearsed all the ways I would hold you If time ever dared to reverse But the clock on the wall just keeps ticking Like it’s reading my heart out in verse [Bridge] [low vocal register] You asked “Are you sure?” I blinked You left I sink [whispered vocals] I was scared to need you Scared you’d see right through Now the only honest thing I have Is missing you [Chorus]
