SKELETON Verse 1 Winter crept in through the window like your words I couldn’t hold snowflakes melting on the silence soft and sudden, turning cold You left a letter on the table by lenterns in dim warm light old bible book half-open like prayers we couldn’t write There was warmth in how you ruined me icy blue, a quiet sin you carved your name into my tattoos then let the wolves come in ⸻ Pre-Chorus And I felt it to the bone how something alive could feel this gone ⸻ Chorus Now I’m just a skeleton dancing in your melody you took all the warmth I had left the cold inside of me You said forever like a son who never learned to stay now I haunt that one night we let heaven slip away I’m a skeleton still singing your song in the loneliest place where our hearts went wrong ⸻ Verse 2 We drove down the river by the willows where the wildflowers had grown you said beauty doesn’t last here I said it already had—long ago Long red hair in the sunset warm brown eyes like July you were something almost holy I was too young not to try We danced in that barn like lovers fiddle crying through the dark empty bottle on the dashboard like a soldier, wounded heart ⸻ Pre-Chorus And I knew it in the doom love like ours always blooms in a tomb ⸻ Chorus Now I’m just a skeleton dancing in your melody you took all the warmth I had left the cold inside of me You said forever like a son who never learned to stay now I haunt that one night we let heaven slip away I’m a skeleton still singing your song in the loneliest place where our hearts went wrong ⸻ Bridge We wept like the willows in autumn red roses on a graveyard stone you said we were death in slow motion I said I’d rather die than be alone A dream I forgot I was living a star that burned out too young your rescue dog kept me company when you were already gone ⸻ Outro There’s a tombstone where your name is but you’re somewhere still alive I’m caught between seasons shifting where our ghosts don’t survive For a moment, we were something hearts reckless, heaven close now I sing you like a melody only my skeleton knows
