Knee-Deep in What I Lost

The town still leans like it did before, Same broken steps, same blood on the floor She ain’t here — and I knew she’d be gone, But I had to see what I left too long

Knee-deep in what I lost, In every name, in every cost I came back just to bleed, To touch the dirt I used to need And now I see what silence hides — Knee-deep in what I lost tonight

That swing still creaks on her old porch rail, Still sings the tune of my worst fail I ran from love like it was fire — Turns out, I carried the funeral pyre

Knee-deep in what I lost, Not beggin’, just taking stock No right, no wrong, just scars that stayed — And a shadow of the vow I never made

I heard her laugh in a passing breeze, Felt her ghost move through the cotton trees If I could trade this soul for grace… I'd bury it here in her old place

Knee-deep in what I lost, And I ain’t askin’ for the cross Just let me lie where I was found — Knee-deep, face down in haunted ground
