Lyrics

Nothing that hurt like that
(Verse 1)
I've walked through the fire, I've swallowed the rain
I've become an old friend to the ghost of the pain
I've had my heart broken in hallways and bars
Tattooed my skin with a map of my scars
I thought I had measured the depth of the deep
Thought I knew secrets that sorrow could keep
But you didn't shatter the glass or the bone
You just left me standing in silence alone.


(Chorus)
And I never felt nothing that hurt like that
The way that you walked and you didn't look back
It wasn't a scream, it wasn't a fight
Just the slow-motion fading of morning to night
Like a house turning hollow, a soul turning gray
The quietest way for a world to decay
I've had my heart shredded, I've had it fall flat
But I never felt nothing that hurt like that.


(Verse 2)
There's a bruise on the air where you used to exist
A cold kind of heavy, a phantom-limb twist
It's not in the anger, it's not in the blame
It's the way that the wind doesn't whisper your name
I'm breathing, I'm moving, I'm doing the chores
But I'm counting the locks on the heavy front doors
See, grief is a storm that eventually clears
But this is the drought that's been lasting for years.


(Chorus)
And I never felt nothing that hurt like that
The way that you walked and you didn't look back
It wasn't a scream, it wasn't a fight
Just the slow-motion fading of morning to night
Like a house turning hollow, a soul turning gray
The quietest way for a world to decay
I've had my heart shredded, I've had it fall flat
But I never felt nothing that hurt like that.


(Bridge)
They say that the sharpest of blades leave a mark
But you left a void carved right into the dark
A missing dimension, a hole in the floor
I don't even know what I'm hurting for.

(Outro)
No crashing of thunder, no closing of gates
Just the empty, cold weight of the hand of the fates
Yeah, I've bled for the love, I've paid for the chat
But God...
I never felt nothing that hurt like that.
No, I never felt nothing...
That hurt like that.
