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
