[Verse 1]
I dug a grave for you
Right where you said you’d stay
Under that busted porch light
End of our dead-end lane
You picked the shovel first
You started throwing dirt
Now I’m just finishing
What you began with words
You had your hidden phones
Your little weekend lies
You buried us in secrets
So I buried your love life
[Chorus]
I dug a grave for you
Laid every promise in the ground, yeah
All of the “always” you abused
Look at me, I’m walking out now
You can haunt this empty room
Shoutin’ my name to the shadows
I dug a grave for you
Now it’s my turn to let go
[Verse 2]
Your hoodie in my closet
Still smells like cheap cologne
I tie it in a knot
Toss it on the stones
Your picture in the frame
Face down on my shelf
If you can sleep with strangers
I can finally sleep myself
You said that I was crazy
I made you feel “confined”
Funny how freedom hit
The second you crossed the line
[Chorus]
I dug a grave for you
Laid every promise in the ground, yeah
All of the “always” you abused
Look at me, I’m walking out now
You can haunt this empty room
Shoutin’ my name to the shadows
I dug a grave for you
Now it’s my turn to let go
[Bridge]
This isn’t murder, it’s mercy (mercy)
Putting your ghost to rest
You chose the ending for us
I just wrote it on my chest
Carved your name into silence
Scratched it out, now I’m through
I didn’t kill this love, babe
I just built the grave for you
[Chorus]
I dug a grave for you
Laid every promise in the ground, yeah
All of the “always” you abused
Look at me, I’m walking out now
You can haunt this empty room
Shoutin’ my name to the shadows
I dug a grave for you
Now it’s my turn to let go (let go)
Yeah, it’s my turn to let you go
