Mama said I'd heal in time
But clocks don't move when you're not mine
I fake a laugh, I play my part
But something's missing from my heart

I build a smile with trembling hands
Pretend that I can understand
How you could leave, how I could stay
How love just fades away

They call it growing up, I call it pain
They call it peace, I call it rain

Half-broken boy, lost in the noise
Loving a ghost, avoiding the void
You moved on fast, I stood in place
Still tracing you in empty space

Maybe I was too much storm
Maybe you were tired of form
But all I know is every night
I dream in black and wake in white

Half-broken boy, never complete
Still dancing with your ghost on repeat
