[Verse 1]
You call me from the corner of my mind
Sweet poison in a crystal shine
Hand shaking as I taste the thought
Every pretty promise that I bought
You glitter like a shortcut to the sky
I know the rush
I know the lie
Mirror on the bathroom sink
Shows me standing on the brink
[Chorus]
You’re my forbidden fruit high
Burning holes in my sky
I can’t touch
I can’t taste
Or I’ll fall
I’ll erase
You’re the color I remember
But I’m stepping from the ember
There’s a world past you tonight
And life can still be beautiful
Bright
[Verse 2]
Cravings crawling underneath my skin
Soft whisper saying “let me in”
I pace circles in this tiny room
Turn the hunger into something new
Text a friend when the shadows talk
Count my breaths as the urges knock
Sunrise through a dirty pane
Turns the dust into golden rain
[Chorus]
You’re my forbidden fruit high
Burning holes in my sky
I can’t touch
I can’t taste
Or I’ll fall
I’ll erase
You’re the color I remember
But I’m stepping from the ember
There’s a world past you tonight
And life can still be beautiful
Bright
[Bridge]
I’ve seen the colors drip to gray
Watched good hearts fade away
I won’t be another ghost
Chasing what hurts me the most (yeah)
So when the shaking starts
I’ll dance with my restless heart
Turn the wanting into light
Let the future flood my eyes
[Chorus]
You’re my forbidden fruit high
Burning holes in my sky
I can’t touch
I can’t taste
Or I’ll fall
I’ll erase
You’re the color I remember
But I’m stepping from the ember
There’s a world past you tonight
And life can still be beautiful
Bright
[Outro]
I still hear you in the dark sometimes
But I’m walking toward the brighter side
You can stay there in the rearview blue
I’ve got a whole new life to choose
