I lit a candle where you left your name Burnt-out letters, but I kept the flame Your picture's curled at the window frame Still whisperin’ like it’s got no shame A coat on a hook that don’t belong One plate, one cup – you been gone too long But love don’t fade, it just plays that song That battlefield hymn where we both went wrong Your voice still sleeps in the cracks of the wall I hear it moanin’ when the nightbirds call But pride built up like a concrete stall So we both stood still, let the kingdom fall This a battleground Of broken hearts Where silence kills and time don’t start I held the line till my hands fell apart But you were already gone Before the war could even start You left your scarf on the back of my chair Still smells like rain and wild despair I wear it sometimes, just to say a prayer To the ghost of love that used to care This a battleground Of broken hearts No treaty signed, no peace to chart We fought with eyes, we kissed like darts Now I bleed alone In the ruins of what we called art Love don’t always die in fire, y’know Sometimes it just starves in plain sight With the curtains drawn And nobody checkin’ in This a battleground Of broken hearts A war we waged in midnight parts And if you ever ask where I still am I'm right here Where love forgot
