Mr. Ash(灰烬先生) · Wrong Person
I met you by the tram stop
Snow on your collar
You said my name like a dare
And I answered it softer
Your smile had a bruise in it
Pretty and dangerous
I saw the storm in your eyes
And I walked straight into it
You took my coat, my patience
My sleep, my last clean thought
Now every room you left me in
Feels colder than it ought
I knew your hands were trouble
Still I let them make a home
Now I keep your shadow close
Like a bone I should've thrown
I heard the warning in the dark
I heard it late
You were a door with a knife in the frame
And I called it fate
Wrong person, right ache
Wrong person, I break
I kept your name in my mouth
Like a match in the rain
Wrong person, right curse
You made the hurt feel like church
I knew it from the first kiss
Still I stayed for the burn
You laughed when I was honest
That cut was clean and small
Then vanished for a weekend
Like I meant nothing at all
I watched the phone go silent
Watched my pride go thin
Kept saving all your damage
Like it might turn into kin
Now your texts are little ghosts
On a screen I never trust
You ask me if I'm okay
I say "fine"out of muscle
But my mirror looks tired
And my hands don't feel like mine
I was lonely, you were empty
That was reason and crime
I heard the warning in the dark
I heard it late
You were a door with a knife in the frame
And I called it fate
Wrong person, right ache
Wrong person, I break
I kept your name in my mouth
Like a match in the rain
Wrong person, right curse
You made the hurt feel like church
I knew it from the first kiss
Still I stayed for the burn
Maybe I loved the lie
Because the truth was cold
Maybe I wanted your chaos
To hold my broken soul
Now I leave the last message
Unsent in my chest
If love is a place I can't live
Then let it be rest
Wrong person, right ache
Wrong person, I break
I kept your name in my mouth
Like a match in the rain
Wrong person, right curse
You made the hurt feel like church
I knew it from the first kiss
Still I stayed for the burn
