You left a shape in the chair A dent in the morning air I still reach for your side Like a habit I can't hide Your name on my tongue Tastes like a bruise undone Every room we ever knew Keeps a ghost of me and you And it hits when I'm alone Like a hand against the bone Not a wound I can show Just a throb that won't let go Phantom pain, phantom pain In the place where you were named Phantom pain, phantom pain I still flinch when I hear rain We broke clean, but it stayed In my skin where you once lay Phantom pain, phantom pain I still feel you anyway I threw out the blue cup The one with the chipped-up rim Still the sink light cuts Like you might walk back in There's a shirt in the drawer That still smells like your day I fold and fold some more But the ache won't fold away And it hits when I'm alone Like a hand against the bone Not a wound I can show Just a throb that won't let go Phantom pain, phantom pain In the place where you were named Phantom pain, phantom pain I still flinch when I hear rain We broke clean, but it stayed In my skin where you once lay Phantom pain, phantom pain I still feel you anyway Maybe love leaves marks Even after it departs Like a missing tooth in the dark Like a echo in the heart So I move, I move Through the empty, through the proof But the part that used to be you Still wakes up when I do Phantom pain, phantom pain In the place where you were named Phantom pain, phantom pain I still flinch when I hear rain We broke clean, but it stayed In my skin where you once lay Phantom pain, phantom pain I still feel you anyway
