[Verse 1]
You bring me tea in the blue-glass mug
You know my face when I’ve had enough
I smile at you like I’m safe at home
But my mind keeps roaming where it shouldn’t go
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep saying it’s fine
Keep my hands neatly tied
But every time you laugh
I lose my line
[Chorus]
I’m in denial
Stuck in the middle
I kiss your mouth
And crave a little
Of what I can’t say
Of who I can’t choose
I’m in denial
Still holding both of you (both of you)
[Verse 2]
She knows my secrets in the train-stop rain
We shared one scarf and a thousand names
Years went by and the wanting stayed
Now it lives in the gap of the words I save
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep saying it’s fine
Keep my heart out of sight
But when she touches my arm
I go light
[Chorus]
I’m in denial
Stuck in the middle
I kiss your mouth
And crave a little
Of what I can’t say
Of who I can’t choose
I’m in denial
Still holding both of you (both of you)
[Bridge]
If I speak, I break it
If I stay, I fake it
I built this whole life
On a lie I can’t shake
You on my left hand
Her on my right
And I’m split down the seam
Every single night
[Final Chorus]
I’m in denial
Stuck in the middle
I kiss your mouth
And crave a little
Of what I can’t say
Of who I can’t choose
I’m in denial
I’m in denial
Still holding both of you (both of you)
