Afterglow Name

I kept your note in the pocket of my coat Like a small ghost, warm against my throat The city blinked in cheap white light But every corner held your outline I laughed too loud just to hide the ache Acted like a heart could bend and not break Now I trace your name in the fog on glass Then watch it vanish, letting hours pass I’m still here, but I’m not the same Burning soft in the afterglow of your name If I reach for you, do you feel the shake? Or am I just a habit that you couldn’t break? I keep moving, I keep losing ground With your silence ringing like a ghostly sound I’m still here, but I’m not the same Burning soft in the afterglow of your name My room is a storm of the things you left A black mascara trail on a ripped-up shirt hem The mirror keeps telling me to stand up straight While my chest keeps folding under the weight I should be angry, I should be free But your shadow still knows how to find me Every playlist sounds like the end of July Every sweet little lie still makes me cry I’m still here, but I’m not the same Burning soft in the afterglow of your name If I reach for you, do you feel the shake? Or am I just a habit that you couldn’t break? I keep moving, I keep losing ground With your silence ringing like a ghostly sound I’m still here, but I’m not the same Burning soft in the afterglow of your name Maybe I was fragile, maybe I was loud Maybe I was lightning looking for a cloud I won’t beg the night to give you back I’ll wear my scars like a silver crack And if you hear me in the static rain Know I learned to live inside the pain I’m still here, but I’m not the same Burning soft in the afterglow of your name If I reach for you, do you feel the shake? Or am I just a habit that you couldn’t break? I keep moving, I keep losing ground With your silence ringing like a ghostly sound I’m still here, but I’m not the same Burning soft in the afterglow of your name
