Verse
I have never fallen, I’ve only ever landed in love
Steps even, I breathed in while I poured out my blood
Three times I denied you, in return you betrayed
Kiss could’ve been like honey, but it didn’t make you stay
Adored you just like Van Gogh, I fight to cut my eyes and my ear
This place was once ours, now it’s the worst of my fears
The bricks keep whispering, and they seem to echo
This neighborhood’s haunted, but I’m a sucker for a ghost
Chorus
Oh Hampden where you broke me
Where I wept from my bones
Oh sweet Hampden, yes, I looked back
A pillar of salt turned to stone
And the now the taste of your lips is all that you’ve left me
Under these streetlight, I’m blazing with these memories
Go on unhindered, unremember we both made a vow
I’m sorry, I love you, but you’re free from me now
Verse
I think I’d’ve died for it, given you everything that I had
You tricked me with those seven seeds and drove me mad
Perhaps I was second best, maybe you were the one
My Pisces moon made ash under your scorching Cancer sun
The season’s started fading, the greenery has begun to rot
The petals bleed, “I-love-yous” and “you-love-me-nots”
I craved you from my knees, but the concrete, it hurts
There’s no savior to find here, but like him, do I too thirst
Chorus
Oh Hampden where you broke me
Where I wept from my bones
Oh sweet Hampden, yes, I looked back
A pillar of salt turned to stone
And the now the taste of your lips is all that you’ve left me
Under these streetlight, I’m blazing with these memories
Go on unhindered, unremember we both made a vow
I’m sorry, I love you, but you’re free from me now
