Verse 1
I carved love letters into your shoulders
You clutched my neck
With your empty hands
You filled my incompleteness
With your loneliness
I made love to your soul
And love made me
Chorus
I can’t wash away
The taste of you from my lips
Your eyes so cold
My shaking knees
Our sleepless sleep
Your hands that smell like nicotine
Verse 2
The ashes of your lungs
Lingered on my hair
A song I knew too well
Was echoing in my head
The world falling apart
We didn’t even care
The fire inside my chest
And the dullness of your stare
Chorus
I can’t wash away
The taste of you from my lips
Your eyes so cold
My shaking knees
Our sleepless sleep
Your hands that smell like nicotine
Middle 8
You’re not used to love
You keep it in a cage
You’re not used to love
There’s too much left unsaid
Chorus
I can’t wash away
The taste of you from my lips
Your eyes so cold
My shaking knees
Our sleepless sleep
Your hands that smell like nicotine
