Your scent is still burning
On the tips of my fingers
In the cellar of my soul
The echo of your voice lingers
Loving you was like walking toward a fire
In the pitch-black night
I guess my heart was just waiting
To melt in your hands so cold and tight
The smoke rising from my lungs
Is coming straight from my soul
No matter what street I turn
Your ghost is taking its tall
I traded my whole life
For just one sip of your love's wine
I didn't just love you, baby
I worshipped you like a shrine
Your eyes are the eerie science
Before the storm begins to howl
All you left me is this hollow
Loneliness, dark and foul
Your scent is trapped in the pillow
Stealing my breath away
Time is frozen solid
Since the moment you walked away
I'm down on my bending knees
My pride is nothing but dirt
Your love was a forest and I'm just a leaf
Drifting in the hurt
Every time I speak your name, my tongue burns
And the air gets thin
The city is closing in and the world is sliding
From under my skin
Lord, I wish I could rip this heart out
And throw it to the wind
I wish I never seen a morning
Where your face didn't begin
But every note, every vibration
Every trembling string says your name
This wound won't ever close
It's an eternal bleeding flame
Kill the lights now
My eyes have grown used to the dark
My pure love got all lost in the shadows
Of your hollow spark
Only your memory is burning
And my heart is lost in the haze
Lost in the haze
