[Verse 1] I was sleeping under bridges, veins full of poison and regret Cardboard bed and broken needles, hadn't found a reason yet Then I saw her by the overpass, shaking in the rain Tasha with those hollow eyes that understood my pain [Verse 2] We met years back when we both had something left to lose She had a man, I had a woman, neither paid their dues Death took them both in different ways, left us with the scars Now we're back here in the gutter, sleeping under stars [Pre-Chorus] She made the grey turn into color Made me think I could recover Tasha Hootz, I'd whisper softly That's the name I'd give you, baby [Chorus] Tasha Hootz, you made me wanna live again Dreamed of kids and kitchen tables, breaking free from this dead end I would've given you my last name, built a life from all this pain But you were just here for the high, love Smoking lies and using mine, love Tasha Hootz was just a ghost I made [Verse 3] Talked about a little house, maybe somewhere near the coast I was clean for seventeen days, that's when I loved you most You said you saw forever when you looked into my face Now I know you saw a sucker, just another easy case [Verse 4] Found you with that dealer, laughing 'bout the homeless fool Said you never loved me, I was just a fucking tool Free dope for fake affection, that's all I ever was You were cheating, lying, scheming while I dreamed of what we'd become [Pre-Chorus] You made the grey turn back to black Made me wish I could go back Tasha Hootz, I still whisper The name of the ghost that killed me [Chorus] Tasha Hootz, you made me wanna live again Dreamed of kids and kitchen tables, breaking free from this dead end I would've given you my last name, built a life from all this pain But you were just here for the high, love Smoking lies and using mine, love Tasha Hootz was just a ghost I made [Bridge] I would've died for you, Tasha Hell, I was already dying anyway But you took the one thing I had left You took the hope and threw it away Now I'm back under the bridge alone With your phantom last name carved into my bones [Chorus] Tasha Hootz, you made me wanna live again Dreamed of kids and kitchen tables, breaking free from this dead end I would've given you my last name, built a life from all this pain But you were just here for the high, love Smoking lies and using mine, love Tasha Hootz was just a ghost I made [Outro] Tasha Hootz Just a ghost I made Tasha Hootz The love that burned me to the grave
