Erased in June

[Intro]
She told me she was already erased...
but some ghosts refuse to fade away.
It’s midnight in June.
Comfort... talk to 'em.

[Chorus]
You can’t just walk out into the dark alone
Turning off your heart, freezing up your phone
Saying that you’re erased like you never stayed
Look at the mess that the two of us made
Ohh, you can’t just go
Ohh, not like that, babe

[Verse 1]
I still see your jacket on the chair
Your name in the steam, hanging there
I know you said it clean and cold
But your goodbye got nowhere to go
My hands still reach for your reply
Old habit, hard to euthanize

[Pre-Chorus]
If you’re gone, why do I feel you?
If you moved on, why do I still lose you?
Say it once, say it plain
Tell me what part of us remains

[Chorus]
You can’t just walk out into the dark alone
Turning off your heart, freezing up your phone
Saying that you’re erased like you never stayed
Look at the mess that the two of us made
Ohh, you can’t just go
Ohh, not like that, babe

[Verse 2]
June rain traces your window glass
I’m counting the ways that love can last
You wore that hurt like it was armor
I wore mine like a prayer for martyr
If I’m the ache you can’t deny
Then why do you still look me in the eye?

[Bridge]
Say you’re done, but don’t disappear
Don’t leave your shadow under my fear
If we’re a scar, let it stay seen
Not erased, not gone, still in between

[Final Chorus]
You can’t just walk out into the dark alone
Turning off your heart, freezing up your phone
Saying that you’re erased like you never stayed
Look at the mess that the two of us made
Ohh, you can’t just go
Ohh, not like that, babe
