I slammed the door, I slammed it back
We spoke in thunder, love lost in the crack
I swore I'd never be like you
But now I wear your shadow too
You wanted more than life could give
And I just wanted space to live
We both were fire, we both were proud
Too many truths we said too loud
And now the house is still in strain
Grief's the only thing that's changed
Now that you're gone I miss the fight
The way your voice lit up the night
The things you said I used to hate
Now echo back a little late
I held my anger like a shield
You held your pain, you never healed
I thought we had more time to try
Now all I have is one good bye
I used to scream your name like it meant war
Every word was a grenade I threw at the floor
We were gasoline, matchsticks, flint and flame
Felt more like inmates than blood with a name
I blamed you for everything I didn't become
And you blamed Dad, then life, then what she'd done
You cooked pain into every plate we ate
But now I miss it, isn't that fate?
I hated your voice, now it haunts my head
Like lullabies soaked in things you never said
I swore I'd never turn back, never crawl
Now I'd trade everything for one more brawl
We were broken, yeah, but we were still us
Now I'm just talking to your ghost on the bus
You weren't perfect, but neither was I
And all we did was run from the why
Now that you're gone I miss the fight
The way your voice lit up the night
The things you said I used to hate
Now echo back a little late
I held my anger like a shield
You held your pain, you never healed
I thought we had more time to try
Now all I have is one good bye
You said you'd miss me when I'm gone, I laughed
But now I'm crying to your photograph
You were the storm I couldn't tame
But I never saw your pain beneath the flame
You were hurting but you masked it well
Turned the home into a fragile shell
Yeah, you yelled, and yeah, I cursed
But I never meant for your heart to hurt
I wrote songs, yeah, I screamed to the crowd
But now I wish I'd said it softer, not so loud
You were trying, I was blind
And now the silence hits rewind
I should have seen you weren't a villain
Just a woman scared and barely willing
To hold it all while raising me
While your world cracked quietly
I painted you in black and red
But forgot the love behind what you said
I told the world what we both hid
Now I'd erase half of what I did
Now that you're gone I miss the fight
The way your voice lit up the night
The things you said I used to hate
Now echo back a little late
I held my anger like a shield
You held your pain, you never healed
I thought we had more time to try
Now all I have is one good bye
I was your mirror, and you were mine
We both saw things we tried to deny
I got your temper, your pride, your fight
But none of your grace, or your sleepless nights
You tried to hold me while holding pain
But I only saw the cracks, not the strain
You gave me life, but I gave you distance
Built my name while you faded in the distance
You watched me rise from the back of a screen
But never saw me see what you mean
I called you out, I called you wrong
But never called to say you were strong
Yeah, you broke things, we both did
But you never ran even when I hid
I spit venom in verses that stung your core
Now I'd trade them all just to hear you snore
It's quiet now, too quiet to bear
You're gone and I still feel you there
In every line that came too rough
In every hug I never gave enough
I thought we'd get our time to mend
But we ran out before the end
Now I wear this guilt like skin on skin
Still hoping you forgive the kid I been
Now that you're gone I miss the fight
The way your voice lit up the night
The things you said I used to hate
Now echo back a little late
I held my anger like a shield
You held your pain, you never healed
I thought we had more time to try
Now all I have is one good bye
