Lyrics

[Intro]
Unmarked earth, a hush that knows my name
Wind combs the weeds where you should’ve been
Soft hands I never got to keep
I brought you flowers anyway

[Verse 1]
I trace the letters that we never carved
Rain holds its breath in the blank of the stone
If the world were kind, you’d still be soft
Open palms, unbruised, unalone

[Build]

[Chorus]
I lay these flowers for the ghost of who I’d be
No body in the ground, just the maybe under me
White lilies on a silence only I can read
I’m not here to haunt, I’m here to set you free
I lay these flowers for the ghost of who I’d be
Soft hands that never had to make a fist in me
Keep sleeping where the sunlight never had to leave
I lay these flowers for the ghost of who I’d be

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
I taught my mouth to quiet every cry
Built ribs into a room no one could pry
I was the blade you never had to hold
Every mile I carried us, I let you go

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
I lay these flowers for the ghost of who I’d be
I thank the harder woman I became for getting us out alive
No body in the ground, just a maybe I release
I won’t keep holding shadows when it’s time to breathe
I lay these flowers for the ghost of who I’d be
Your soft hands kept the dawn; I took the knuckles and the night
You can sleep in peace; I will carry all the light
I lay these flowers for the ghost of who I’d be

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
Sleep now, soft hands; I did the fighting for you
Lay down your almost-life; I’ll lay down mine, too
This isn’t mourning; it’s a key I turn to leave
I lay these flowers for the ghost of who I’d be

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
I lay these flowers for the ghost of who I’d be
And I walk away alive
