Don't say

​[Couplet 1]

You cross the threshold and the air starts to shift

I don’t need to see your eyes to catch the drift.

There’s a gasping hole, where my pulse used to be

A new way of standing, a distance from me.

You drop your keys, but the motion is too slow

Like you’re carrying the weight of a blood I don’t know.

​[Couplet 2]

I move in closer, my instincts on the prowl

Your pores are sweating secrets, silent and foul.

It’s a musky note, a heat that isn’t mine

Beneath the cotton of your coat, I sense the thrill

Of a hunger you chased, just to lose me until...

​[Pré-Refrain]

Don't say a word, don't you dare break the scene

Excuses are an insult to the places you’ve been.

You’ve stolen the air, you’ve poisoned the well.

​[Refrain]

I feel the other on you, like a shadow of fever

The taste of another’s skin, you’re a silent believer.

Your fingers touch me, but they’re thinking of her

It’s a sweet, jagged bite, a pain in a blur.

You’ve ripped out my heart, left a hole in its place.

​[Pont]

I walk to the bed, but I can’t lay my head

The sheets are alive with a ghost that you fed.

Her scent, a sick perfume, is soaked in the threads

A stranger’s desire where we once made our beds.

I’m bleeding out slowly without making a sound

While her ghost in my pillow keeps me pinned to the ground.
