You told me love was golden
But gold fades fast in heat
Now I’m walking through the city
With your lies stuck to my feet
The nights got longer,
You got colder
And I kept thinking maybe I’d hold ya
But your voice was full of static
And your touch was automatic
I was dripping in your silence
Wearing heartbreak like a scent
You said you’d always find me
But I don’t know what you meant
Sunburned lies, on my skin
All the places we’ve both been
You kissed me like you missed me
But you missed the real within
I gave you all my Julys
You gave me heat, then said goodbye
Now I tan alone with your goodbye
Still burned by the way you lied
I laugh a little louder now
Try to scrub you off my soul
But even in the mirror
You’re the line I can’t control
I wear your hoodie like armor
On nights I feel too clear
And I still scroll our old photos
Like I don’t know what’s real
I was chasing what was fading
You were fading by design
We never had a future
We just had a perfect line
Sunburned lies, on my skin
All the places we’ve both been
You kissed me like you meant it
Then you vanished in the wind
I gave you all my Julys
You gave me heat, then said goodbye
And I’m still peeling off the high
Still burned by your sunburned lies
Now every sunset looks like you
Soft and red, and running through
But I don’t chase...
I just let the sky bruise
