Lyrics

[V1]

I stopped checking my phone

Stopped wondering who might call

Got tired of wanting something

That never wanted me at all

Put the weight back on the bar

Like I could sweat out who I'd been

Started fighting with the mirror

Till I recognized myself again

Found an old wreck, stripped it bare

Rust and wires everywhere

Kept my hands too busy fixing

To notice nobody was there

[PC]

I asked God to kill the feeling

Guess I learned to bury it instead

Filled my days with anything

That kept forever out my head

[C]

I wasn't looking

I was done with all of this

Got good at killing evenings

Finding things I wouldn't miss

Kept my hands busy

Kept my heart somewhere out of view

Then life put someone in my way

And somehow it was you

I didn't call it fate

Didn't think it meant a thing

But somewhere between hating you

You started getting to me

[V2]

Our first hello was mostly silence

Then a comment landed wrong

You decided I was arrogant

I decided we'd never get along

Every time our paths crossed after

We found something new to hate

A look, a joke, a smart remark

Then somehow we'd both stay

You'd get under my skin

I'd get underneath yours

Funny how we kept finding reasons

Not to walk out the door

[C]

I wasn't looking

I was done with all of this

Got good at killing evenings

Finding things I wouldn't miss

Kept my hands busy

Kept my heart somewhere out of view

Then life put someone in my way

And somehow it was you

I didn't call it fate

Didn't think it meant a thing

But somewhere between hating you

You started getting to me

[V3]

Then one night the room went empty

And neither one of us went home

Without everyone around us

You weren't who I thought I'd known

You told me things you usually hide

I gave you pieces I don't show

For a couple hours two guarded hearts

Forgot to keep the doors closed

When you left I watched you go

And hated what I already knew

I'd spent months learning not to want this

Now I wanted more of you

[B]

Maybe God ignored my prayer

Maybe I misunderstood

Maybe wanting nothing

Was never gonna do me good

But I won't call this an answer

I've been wrong too many times

All I know is when you looked back

I couldn't look away this time

[C]

I wasn't looking

I was safer on my own

I'd made peace with empty evenings

And going everywhere alone

Then you happened

Slow and inconvenient

Like a crack I couldn't close

And something I had buried

Started breathing on its own

I don't know where this is going

I'm still scared to let it move

I wasn't looking for somebody

Then I started looking for you

[O]

I asked Him to take the feeling

Maybe He never did

Maybe I just stopped listening

Until you found where it hid
