[Verse 1]
You laugh like it’s all just a joke
Ashes on your tongue when you spoke
You tore him down just to feel tall
Now you’re shocked he won’t crawl when you call
[Pre-Chorus]
You wear your spite like warpaint on your skin
Telling yourself you always had to win
[Chorus]
Because of your hatred
You broke his heart
Now he’s mine
You lit the match
Then walked away
I pulled him out of your fire in time
Because of your hatred
You lost the one you tried to own
You made a battlefield of love
I took him
And I’m bringing him home
[Verse 2]
You carved your name into his doubt
Every “I love you” twisted inside out
You fed on every flinch
Every fear
But he’s not your shadow now that I’m here
[Pre-Chorus]
You say I stole what never belonged
You never knew the difference between love and control
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You want him back now that he’s free?
You miss the pain
The power
The plea?
I see the cracks behind your grin
You’re furious he finally chose to win
[low vocal register] I won’t send him back into your storm
[growled] I’ll keep him safe
I’ll keep him warm
[Chorus]
