[Verse 1]
I got one foot in the block
one foot in your door
One hand on my past
one hand wanting more
Text you back late
because the bag got me trapped
Same shoes on the floor
same old trap on my back
You say "come home"
I say "yeah, I will"
But the night keep calling
and it don't stand still
Got a chain full of guilt
and a heart full of plans
Tryna build me a future
with these calloused hands
I don't wanna lose you
but the streets don't sleep
They know my name by the corner
they know I don't leave
And you know my face
when I lie and say I'm fine
I be split down the middle
all the time
[Pre-Chorus]
Pull me close
don't let go
I want peace
but I know
One wrong turn
one more call
And I might
risk it all
[Chorus]
Two lives, two lives
I'm breaking in half
Two lives, two lives
can't bury my past
Hold me tonight
don't let me drift away
Two lives, two lives
I'm trying to stay
(I love you)
(whisper it low)
(I love you)
(baby, don't go)
[Verse 2]
You see the suit on Sunday
see the bruises by Monday
See the real me hiding
when the money run ugly
I been dodging that smoke
like it owns my name
But the devil in my phone
keep a ring on the flame
You ask where I've been
I give half-truths and shame
Got a bed made for two
but a life built in pain
I could bring you the moon
or a reason to cry
That's the cost of a heart
with a war in the sky
Every promise I make
got a crack in the seal
Still I look at your face
and I know what is real
If I choose you, I choose
to come up out the dark
If I lose you, then I lose
the last soft part
[Pre-Chorus]
Pull me close
don't let go
I want peace
but I know
One wrong turn
one more call
And I might
risk it all
[Chorus]
Two lives, two lives
I'm breaking in half
Two lives, two lives
can't bury my past
Hold me tonight
don't let me drift away
Two lives, two lives
I'm trying to stay
(I love you)
(whisper it low)
(I love you)
(baby, don't go)
[Bridge]
If I walk that line
can I make it out?
If I give you my truth
can I turn this around?
I need your hand
I need your faith
Need one clean chance
to rewrite my fate
[Final Chorus]
Two lives, two lives
I'm breaking in half
Two lives, two lives
can't bury my past
Hold me tonight
don't let me drift away
Two lives, two lives
I'm trying to stay
(I love you)
(so soft, so true)
(I love you)
(I need you too)
