I know that face I wore at once
I know that hand I lost it twice
Every promise gets teeth in time
Every one word learns how to bite
I've watched love fold in the rain
I've watched names fade through the pain
The room goes cold when truth gets near
And all you hold turns thin as fear
Don't call it forever
It won't stay
Don't hold so tight it slips away
I've seen the spark turn into smoke
I've seen the heart learn how to break
Cracked mirror on the floor
That's how trust looks when it's worn
Empty hallways keep my steps but footsteps never come back
Cold air in the frame
Smiles rot the same way
When the light starts to fail
Even loyalty goes pale
I've watched love fold in the rain
I've watched names fade through the pain
The room goes cold when truth gets near
And all you hold turns thin as fear
Don't call it forever
You won't stay
Don't hold so tight it slips away
I've seen the spark turn into smoke
I've seen the heart learn how to break
I am the ghost at your door
I know the shape of wanting more
I know the smile before the knife
I know the hush that ends a life
Don't call it forever
You won't stay
Don't hold so tight it slips away
Love is a shelter built to fall
Trust is a prayer that cracks the wall
I've seen the spark turn into smoke
I've seen the heart learn how to break
