Heartburn

I wake up with the fire in my chest

No smoke but I feel it spread

Every breath tastes like your name

Every night ends the same

I tried to bury what we were

But the silence makes it worse

Every corner of this room

Still remembers you

Heartburn living in my veins

Slow poison quiet pain

I drink the dark to feel less

But it burns inside my chest

But it burns inside my chest

Your voice echoes in my sleep

Promises I could not keep

I held on with broken hands

Watched us fall like desert sand

I was young I was blind

I left the truth behind

Thought the road would set me free

Now it only chases me

Heartburn never letting go

Living where your ghost still goes

Every second every turn

Feels like something left to burn

Feels like something left to burn

I see you in another life

I see you in another life

Where I stayed and did it right

Where I never let you bleed

Where I gave you what you need

But that world is not this one

Here the damage has been done

All thats left inside of me

Is this endless memory

Heartburn keeps your shadow near

Feeds on every single tear

I deserve the pain I earn

I deserve this heartburn

I deserve this heartburn

So I carry it alone

If this is my only truth

I will burn for loving you
