[Verse 1]
Clock said midnight
Keys hit the counter, same little clank
Work shoes dragging
Takeout bag in my hand, mind blank
Jacket on the chair
I’m mumbling ’bout my day to the dark
Then I see two glasses
Your shirt on the floor by the mark on the wall
Hallway breathing
Door cracked open just enough to see
Your legs tangled
Laugh stuck hanging in the ceiling, freeze
My name on your nightstand
But his hands where mine used to live
You turned, eyes wide
And everything I ever was just slid
[Chorus]
That was the night you killed me
I watched my shadow fall and stay
A part of me died in your bedsheets
Left my heart on the hallway gray
You looked at me like a stranger
Like I was the one in the wrong
That was the night you killed me
Now you haunt every piece of this song (yeah)
[Verse 2]
I didn’t scream
Just heard the neighbor’s TV through the wall
You said, “It’s not what it looks like”
But the mirror showed it all
Takeout on the counter
Cold fries bleeding through the bag
Our photo on the dresser
Laughing versions of us that we’ll never have back
You pulled the blanket higher
Like you could hide the damage in the sheets
I saw our last vacation
Folded underneath your feet
He grabbed his jeans in silence
I heard the zipper louder than my pulse
Door slammed, house echoed
Like it knew it just lost us both
[Chorus]
That was the night you killed me
I watched my shadow fall and stay
A part of me died in your bedsheets
Left my heart on the hallway gray
You looked at me like a stranger
Like I was the one in the wrong
That was the night you killed me
Now you haunt every piece of this song (oh)
[Bridge]
I still park in the same old spot
Still twist the key like you’ll be there
Still set two plates, then stop
Stare at your empty chair
In every doorway, I see you
Every laugh sounds like your lie
You didn’t just cheat on us
You murdered the man in my eyes (yeah)
[Chorus]
That was the night you killed me
I watched my shadow fall and stay
A part of me died in your bedsheets
Left my heart on the hallway gray
You looked at me like a stranger
Like I was the one in the wrong
That was the night you killed me
Now you live in a ghost of a song
