We don't talk about the space between our hands
We take what we came for don't make demands
No broken promises no grand goodbyes
Just two hollow bodies under electric skies
We know the rules we don't bend the frame
Each one leaves when the game's played
It's just a quiet swap we made
You get your high I get my shade
It's not love it's not a lie
Just two souls that chose to hide
You tell me stories 'bout the man you left behind
I pour you whiskey don't ask what's on your mind
You trace my scars like they're a stranger's map
I hold you close but never let you see the gap
We don't dig where the soil is gray
We take the moment walk away
It's just a quiet swap we made
You get your high I get my shade
It's not hate it's not okay
Just two ghosts that lost their way
Sometimes I wake up before the dawn
Wonder if I'm really gone
Wonder when I stopped trying to feel
When I traded all the real for this
Silence that fits like a well-worn sleeve
No one to hurt no one to grieve
It's just a quiet swap we made
You get your high I get my shade
It's my peace it's my cage
This is the price I chose to pay
We don't talk about the space between our hands
We take what we came for
