[Verse 1]
You said my name
Like it hurt your teeth
Every word you drop
Cuts into me
I hide the bruise
Under long white sleeves
But the truth keeps
Bleeding through the seams
[Pre-Chorus]
We’re standing on this rooftop
Arguing the view
Gold sky falling
And I’m still holding you
If I walk away now
Will you follow me
Or are we already
Broken at the knees
[Chorus]
You put the knife in my heart so slowly
I called it love
’cause it felt like holding
We’re on the edge of a burning sea
Watching the sunset
Drown you and me
Maybe it hurts ’cause it’s meant to be
Maybe it’s meant to be
Maybe it’s meant to be
[Verse 2]
You trace my scars
Like they spell your name
Say “we’re just messed up”
But we’re worth the pain
Your laugh cracks open
All my doubt
One little smile
And I can’t climb out
[Pre-Chorus]
We’re leaning on this railing
Chasing what we lose
Storm in your eyes
But the sky’s still blue
If I let you closer
Will I finally breathe
Or are you just the end
Of every dream
[Chorus]
You put the knife in my heart so slowly
I called it love
’cause it felt like holding
We’re on the edge of a burning sea
Watching the sunset
Drown you and me
Maybe it hurts ’cause it’s meant to be
Maybe it’s meant to be
Maybe it’s meant to be
[Bridge]
Is this the kind of love
That saves us
Or the kind that leaves us
On our knees
Your shadow slips across
The pavement
And somehow it still
Looks right with me (oh)
[Chorus]
You put the knife in my heart so slowly
I called it love
’cause it felt like holding
We’re on the edge of a burning sea
Watching the sunset
Drown you and me
Maybe it hurts ’cause it’s meant to be
Maybe it’s meant to be
Maybe it’s meant to be
