I kept you

Intro – soft, echo]

i didn’t lose you…

i didn’t lose you…

i didn’t lose you…

i kept you somewhere quiet

somewhere no one could touch

four years of silence

but you were still in my blood

i tried to bury the feeling

tried to starve it away

but every night in the dark

you found your way back to stay

i replay you in my head

over and over again

like a ghost i can’t escape

like a wound that won’t mend

i kept you

i kept you

i kept you inside of me

even in silence

even in distance

you never stopped haunting me

i don’t wanna heal from you

i don’t wanna set you free

i kept you

i kept you

and you still belong to me

you came back like a secret

like something forbidden

but my body remembered

every inch that was hidden

it wasn’t new

it wasn’t strange

it was the same old ache

the same old flame

⸻

i don’t want peace

i don’t want light

i want the hunger

i want the night

if loving you ruins me

then let it do what it does

⸻

i kept you

i kept you

i kept you inside of me

like a shadow

like a fever

like something i’ll never leave

i don’t know how to unlove you

i don’t want to be set free

i kept you

i kept you

and you still belong to m
