Verse 1 — Male

I found your picture in a Bible by the bed

Between the verses and the words we never said

Whiskey on the counter, thunder in the sky

Your ghost still burns like bourbon in my blood tonight

That old screen door still rattles in the wind

Like every lie we swore we’d never live again

I drove by your mama’s house at half past two

Saw a shadow in the kitchen… prayed it wasn’t you

⸻

Verse 2 — Female

I heard you’re back in town and raising hell again

Same black Silverado, same smoke and sin

Somebody said they saw you at the county line

With a brunette on your arm pretending she was mine

I should hate your name for what you put me through

But lonely makes a fool do what fools always do

So I pour another drink and kill the lights

And let your memory crawl back in tonight

⸻

Chorus — Both

I keep your picture folded in this broken heart of mine

Like a loaded .45 I can’t leave behind

Every kiss still tastes like cigarettes and rain

Every goodbye carved deeper in my veins

And I swear I moved on… Lord knows I tried

But your shadow still sleeps on my side

Yeah we burned like wildfire through these midnight blues

Now all I got’s your picture… and the truth

⸻

Verse 3 — Male

There’s mud on these boots from roads we used to ride

Back when your hand fit perfectly in mine

Now the jukebox plays our song down at the bar

And every neon light feels like another scar

I still hear you laughing through the static rain

Like heaven and the devil both called your name

And somewhere in this southern storm tonight

You’re missing me the way I miss your eyes

⸻

Bridge — Female & Male

Female:

Maybe love ain’t meant to last forever

Male:

Maybe broken hearts just break together

Female:

You were fire in the dark when I was numb

Male:

You were the only place I ever ran from

Both:

Now the night keeps dragging us back through the flames

Two lost souls wearing each other’s chains

⸻

Final Chorus — Both

I keep your picture hidden from the morning light

Cause daylight makes the truth too hard to fight

Every memory still cuts me like a knife

Like loving you was both my curse and my life

And I swear I moved on… Lord knows I lied

Cause I still feel your hands every night

Yeah we burned like sinners under blood-red moons

Now all I got’s your picture…

And all you got’s me too

⸻

Outro — Male (low, gravelly)

That picture’s fading now…

But not you…

Never you…
