skeletons

There's been an ache in my chest

Where you used to lay your head

I'm wearing holes in my socks

Pacing around the kitchen

And sleeping on the couch to avoid my bed

I can't fall asleep without you in it

The past few months

Wrestling all the stages of this grief at once

Is it too far gone to be saved?

With how deeply you dug our grave

You didn't wanna bury the hatchet

You buried me instead

Hung me up in your closet

With all your other skeletons

This secret's been eating away at me

Slowly, 'till I'm skin and bones and teeth

You find your way back into my bed

Whenever the soil starts to fall over our heads

Stuck in my skull like a bullet

Take my eyes so I can't watch you leave again

Nails dig into your back cause I can't let this go

You didn't wanna bury the hatchet

You buried me instead

Hung me up in your closet

With all your other skeletons

Truth is, I never meant shit to you

Another ghost in your graveyard of girls to use

Lie to me with your leash tied around my neck

I'm begging you to please just let me go

Oh
