[Verse 1]<br />I fold your sweater<br />Place it back on the chair<br />Still holds your outline<br />Still smells like your hair<br />Every quiet corner<br />Argues you’re not gone<br />But the dust on the picture frame<br />Keeps proving me wrong<br /><br />[Pre-Chorus]<br />I used to fear the dark<br />Now I just fear the dawn<br />Another day you’re missing<br />Another page torn<br /><br />[Chorus]<br />If I burn<br />Let me burn in your shape<br />Let my name be a shadow<br />That falls where you stand safe<br />If I break<br />Let the cracks spell your rhyme<br />I will carve you in my choices<br />Leave you living in my lines<br />When the world comes for our love<br />You’re the scar I leave behind<br /><br />[Verse 2]<br />Your letters in a shoebox<br />Ink bled to a blur<br />I mouth the faded phrases<br />Like I’m praying your words<br />You said<br />“Promise you’ll be kinder<br />To the person you become”<br />I’m still learning how to carry you<br />Without coming undone<br /><br />[Pre-Chorus]<br />Every road I choose<br />Rewrites who you were<br />So I walk a little straighter<br />For the both of us<br />Yeah<br /><br />[Chorus]<br />If I burn<br />Let me burn in your shape<br />Let my name be a shadow<br />That falls where you stand safe<br />If I break<br />Let the cracks spell your rhyme<br />I will carve you in my choices<br />Leave you living in my lines<br />When the world comes for our love<br />You’re the scar I leave behind<br /><br />[Bridge]<br />This love is a glass house<br />And the stones are in their hands<br />But I’ll stand in the doorway<br />Bleeding where I stand<br />If they tear down these walls<br />If they salt all our ground<br />You’ll still live in the echo<br />In the vows I never spoke out loud<br /><br />[Chorus]<br />If I burn<br />Let me burn in your shape<br />Let my heart be the altar<br />Where your memory stays safe<br />If I break<br />Let the cracks spell your rhyme<br />Every fault line in my body<br />Traces back to your light<br />When the world comes for our love<br />You’re the scar I leave behind<br />You’re the scar<br />I choose to leave behind
