[Verse 1]
Every time I let you close
Something shatters on the floor
Broken mugs and midnight calls
Same pattern as before
You said
"This time won't be the same"
I half-believed it
Half afraid
Soon as you touched my hand
I heard glass in the grenade
[Pre-Chorus]
Your smile
My fear
Same scene
New year
I see the ending hiding
In your eyes already crying
[Chorus]
I’m patient zero for heartbreak
Every pulse around me starts to shake
Mine
Yours
Theirs
I am the common ache
You catch my name and the fault lines quake
I’m patient zero for heartbreak
For heartbreak
[Verse 2]
First date
Empty movie seats
Sharing secrets
Sharing sweets
By the credits rolling out
You were asking me to leave
Not ’cause you didn’t care
You felt the warning in the air
Said
"You look like déjà vu"
Like I’ve already lost you
[Pre-Chorus]
Your hope
My guilt
Cards fall the way they’re built
You reach
I pull away
Trying not to make you stay
[Chorus]
I’m patient zero for heartbreak
Every pulse around me starts to shake
Mine
Yours
Theirs
I am the common ache
You catch my name and the fault lines quake
I’m patient zero for heartbreak
For heartbreak
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I keep a list of ruins in my phone
Every pretty face I turned to stone
Is it fate
Is it me
Am I cursed
Or just lonely
[louder]
If loving me is losing
Why are you still choosing
Step inside my shadow
Watch your bright red fade to hollow
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
