[Verse 1]
You walked in
And the air went sharp
Every word from you
Aimed at my heart
Trading jabs
In a crowded room
Told myself you were
My favorite ruin
[Pre-Chorus]
If I cared less
Why’d I notice
Every time you looked my way
If I felt nothing
Why’s my pulse
Always giving me away
[Chorus]
We were strangers
We were war
Slamming every single door
But somehow we kept standing
Right here in the damage
You’re the fight I couldn’t quit
Every comeback
Every hit
Underneath the sparks and anger
We were always more than strangers
(Yeah, we were always more than strangers)
[Verse 2]
You held me
When the night went dark
Argued first
Then you pulled me apart
Soft hands
On my stubborn fears
You cursed
I laughed
We both wiped tears
[Pre-Chorus]
If you’re just hate
Why’s it hurting
When you push my hand away
If I don’t love you
Why’s your name
The one I’m saying when I pray
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I don’t wanna want you
But I already do
Every time I lose you
I come running back to you
Call it pride
Call it fear
Call it what you wanna
Dear
[low vocal register] I’m done pretending I don’t care
You’re the home I always wear [crescendo]
[Chorus]
