Lyrics

I hunted beauty, thought it might save,

But beauty don't save -- it digs the grave.

Betrayal wears a familiar face,

Mercy's just the gun you never brace.

[Chorus]

I got ghosts in the glass, silhouettes in my bed,

Lessons in the bottle, voices in my head.

I gave too much, got too little back,

Lovers fade, but the scars stay intact.

[Verse]

Passion burned, wild and untamed,

Pleasure cut deep, nothing stayed the same.

Tasted love like broken glass,

Every high I swore would last.

[Chorus]

I got ghosts in the glass, silhouettes in my bed,

Lessons in the bottle, voices in my head.

I gave too much, got too little back,

Lovers fade, but the scars stay intact.

[Bridge]

Built a kingdom from smoke and trust,

She torched it down, called it love -- unjust.

Perfect 'til the mask fell away,

Perfect 'til betrayal came to stay.

[Chorus]

I got ghosts in the glass, silhouettes in my bed,

Lessons in the bottle, voices in my head.

I gave too much, got too little back,

Lovers fade, but the scars stay intact.

[Outro]

The past may haunt, the silhouettes may stay,

But I've learned to carry them my own way.

Each loss, each heartbreak, paved the road to me,

Toward the life I choose, toward what I can be.
