Tearing up the note you left behind,
But the words still echo in my mind
You said you were done, couldn't be dragged down
Said you couldn't stay, couldn't stick around
This place is empty, haunted by your face
I'd burn it all down just to erase
Found a box of photos, moments we shared
Now torn and frayed, like the love we bared
The clock blinks eights, I've lost track of time
Drowning in the dark, no rhythm, no rhyme
I drink and stay up, haunted by the ache
It's the pain that keeps me awake
I'd be the first and last to die for you
The ghost in the shadows, the one you knew
I'll hold my breath until you come back home
But for now, I'm missing you
Turning a darker shade of blue
I tried so hard to let you see
In my dreams, you're the only one for me
In my mind, you're my masterpiece
Painted in ink, from a heart that won't cease
Blood red, blood red,
Like the night you left me for dead
I know I've messed it up again
But please, don't let this be the end
I'd be the first and last to die for you
The ghost in the corner, out of view
I'll hold my breath until you walk through the door
But for now, I'm missing you
Turning a darker shade of blue
Well, I should've known
The good things really don't last
But what's a boy to do
When he's stuck in the past?
I should've known you'd pack and leave
But can you tell me what to do
When all I had was a heartbeat away
And that heart was cut out as you walked away
I'll be the first and last to die for you
The ghost in the shadows, the one you knew
I'll hold my breath until you come back home
But for now, I'm missing you
Turning a darker shade of blue
I'll hold my breath until you come home
But for now I'm missing you
I'll turn a darker shade of blue
But what's a boy to do?
When this is me missing you
Turning the darkest shades of blue
But what's a boy to do?
