[Verse 1]
Cold glass
Forehead on the window
Phone face down on the bed
Your name lit up like a warning
Yeah
I read it
Then I left it on read
Told me
“You’re so complicated”
I laughed like I didn’t care
But my chest turned to concrete
Every word heavy
Hanging in the air
[Chorus]
I know my place
On the edge of your world
Just a ghost you taste
When your crown starts to burn
I wear your blame
Like a cut under lace
You get your escape
And I get the ache
Yeah
I know my place
(I know my place)
[Verse 2]
You pull me close when you’re broken
Push me out when you’re fine
You say
“Stay till the morning”
Then pretend you forgot every line
I keep tracing all your shadows
Like they’re maps to something real
But every time I touch the truth
It slips right through my trembling hands of steel
[Chorus]
I know my place
On the edge of your world
Just a ghost you taste
When your crown starts to burn
I wear your blame
Like a cut under lace
You get your escape
And I get the ache
Yeah
I know my place
(I know my place)
[Bridge]
Tell me
Is there someone
You don’t keep in the dark?
Do you ever feel the damage
Or just count the marks?
I’m screaming in a whisper
Drowning in your grace
If loving you is losing
Then I’m losing every race
[Chorus]
I know my place
On the edge of your world
Just a ghost you taste
When your crown starts to burn
I wear your blame
Like a cut under lace
You get your escape
And I get the ache
Yeah
I know my place
Yeah
I know my place
(I know my place, oh)
