Bury Your Bones

I hope my absence haunts you like a ghost
 Eating away at you from time to time
 I know I'm absent from your life and mind
 But you still haunt mine
 There's a different kind of emptiness you left me with after all of this
 And I can't wrap my head around the fact that you're not coming back
 There's a chemical imbalance that you left inside my brain
 You're the reason why the alcohol's still rotting in my veins
 And I'll be okay, this is something I can get through
 (Something I can get through)
 But I don't know if I can say the same about you
 I know a world of stability is all that you could ever see
 And when everything falls apart
 Dear God, I know it'll fall apart
 I hope you buckle at your knees
 And think of me
 I'll leave you with this emptiness as your parting gift
 These heavy words I know you can't lift
 (Between the two of you, there'll be a common rift)
 And that's me (that's me), the problem you can't fix
 The chemicals have balanced as I'm writing off your name
 I hope the thought of us and broken trust stays frozen in his brain
 And I'll be okay, this is something I can get through (get through)
 (Something I can get through)
 But I don't know if I can say the same about you
 Truth be told, we are not the same
 A future sold that was built on blame
 I pray you can't bear the guilt and shame
 I'll stay a thorn in your side that's worn with pain
 Day in day out it won't get better
 Even your friends say forever fair-weather
 Stay stuck
 You're a stormy sky with an idle mind, you deserve each other
 And I've been picking you apart in my head
 Trying to see between you and me if there was anything worth keeping
 I'm empty-handed once again
 Constant consent
 You lied to him about the time we spent
 Relapse, repent
 Your judgement lapse came and went
 You said that life was built on compromise
 A statement laced with fraying ties on borrowed time you'll never find
 So in the end you took what was yours and stole what was mine
