Cannonball in My Chest- Lyrics

[Verse 1]

That day the mail slot shook

Just a small white weight on the floor

Coffee gone cold in my hand

Your name like a bruise on the corner

His handwriting shook through the paper

Every letter a crack in the ground

I read the word they chose for you

Like you’d just… laid your body down

[Chorus]

But it hit me

Like a cannonball in my chest

Past days shattering

Shards of your laugh in my bed

They say you faded slow

But it all crashed at once instead

I can’t cry

I’m just numb

With a cannonball in my chest

[Verse 2]

I saw us skipping school

Rain in your hair

You swore you were fine

Arguing over cheap red shoes

You said we’d grow old

Had so much time

Now every small

Stupid memory

Detonates under my ribs

Your last unread little message

Burns a hole through how I live

[Chorus]

Yeah it hit me

Like a cannonball in my chest

Every promise

Turned to dust where you once slept

They say you slipped away

But it all crashed at once instead

I don’t bleed

I don’t break

Just this cannonball in my chest (oh)

Just this cannonball in my chest
