[Verse 1]
We were barefoot in your kitchen
Burnt toast
Late for work again
You stole my hoodie
Stole my patience
Still
I let you in
You were humming while I’m talking
I was talking just to win
Every “sorry” felt like ribbon
Tied on rusted things
[Pre-Chorus]
You said
“Love is just a phase”
I laughed and said
“Then stay”
We kept painting over stains
Till the colors ran away
[Chorus]
We were picture perfect till the frame cracked
Smiling on the surface while we fell back
Every little fight left a fault line
Running through the good times
I kept every promise that you broke first
Holding on to better through the same hurt
Guess the hardest truth I’ve ever had to face
Is letting you go
From our broken place
[Verse 2]
You were scrolling through our photos
I was staring at the floor
Texting me from down the hallway
Like you’re at my door
You said
“Maybe we’re just tired”
I said
“Tired shouldn’t hurt”
Every plan we built together
Started tasting like a curse
[Pre-Chorus]
We kept dragging all our ghosts
Into every single day
Tried to call it growing close
But we were drifting anyway
[Chorus]
We were picture perfect till the frame cracked
Smiling on the surface while we fell back
Every little fight left a fault line
Running through the good times
I kept every promise that you broke first
Holding on to better through the same hurt
Guess the hardest truth I’ve ever had to face
Is letting you go
From our broken place
[Bridge]
You left your keys on the counter
Said
“I think we’ve said enough”
I whispered
“Text me if you need me”
You said
“That’s the problem with us”
Oh
We loved like it would save us
But it only held us down
Two guys trying to be heroes
In a house that’s falling down (falling down)
[Chorus]
We were picture perfect till the frame cracked
Smiling on the surface while we fell back
Every little fight left a fault line
Running through the good times
I kept every promise that you broke first
Holding on to better through the same hurt
Now the hardest truth I finally have to face
Is walking away
From our broken place
