Cut My Name Out

You said “forever”

Then you left mid-sentence

Door slammed

My heart still talking to the silence

Coffee going cold

Phone face down

Your jacket on the chair

Like you’re still around

Cut my name out of your story

Let it bleed out on the page

Every letter feels like glory

Till it’s rusted into shame

Love was a blade in your pocket

You smiled as you walked away

Now I trace the edge of the promise

And all I feel is pain

(all I feel is pain)

Band-aids on my fingers

From picking at the past

Your ghost on the mirror

Writing “this won’t last”

You were saying “always”

While cutting at the seams

I was busy bleeding

Calling it a dream

Cut my name out of your story

Let it bleed out on the page

Every letter feels like glory

Till it’s rusted into shame

Love was a blade in your pocket

You smiled as you walked away

Now I trace the edge of the promise

And all I feel is pain

(all I feel is pain, yeah)

If this is love

Why am I

Staring at the ceiling

Counting scars?

If this is gone

Why does it

Still feel like you live in my arms? (oh)

Cut my name out of your story

Let it bleed out on the page

Every letter felt like glory

Now it’s dripping into grey

Love was a blade in your pocket

You smiled as you walked away

I keep saying I’m okay

I’m okay

But all I feel is pain

(all I feel is pain)
