[Verse 1]
You slammed the door
I lit a match
Watched our pictures
Curl and crack
Screaming in the mirror
Like it's all your fault
But the shards on the floor
Spell my name on the wall
[Pre-Chorus]
I said I didn't need you (yeah right)
Played brave
Played cold
Played see-through
Every nightmare
Your voice breaking through
So what the hell am I supposed to do?
[Chorus]
I'm crawling back from the black to you
Every scar on my chest says “truth”
I burned our bridge
Then missed the view
Now I'm standing in the smoke like
“I still choose you” (oh)
If there's a way to make this new
I'll tear my monsters out
Brick by brick for you
Yeah I was lost
But I'm crawling back from the black to you
[Verse 2]
You sent that text
"Are you still alive?"
I typed "I'm fine"
Then erased the lie
Tried to drown your memory
In strangers and noise
But your name cuts through
Every useless choice
[Pre-Chorus]
I dragged your heart through every fire
Wrapped in barbed-wire jokes and quiet lies
You had every reason just to say goodbye
But you're still there on the other side
[Chorus]
I'm crawling back from the black to you
Every scar on my chest says “truth”
I burned our bridge
Then missed the view
Now I'm standing in the smoke like
“I still choose you” (hey)
If there's a way to make this new
I'll tear my monsters out
Brick by brick for you
Yeah I was lost
But I'm crawling back from the black to you
[Bridge]
Break me open
Let the venom spill
I'll confess every ghost
Every cheap thrill
You deserve more
Than a walking wound
But if you reach for my hand
I'll bleed faith for you (for you, for you)
[Chorus]
I'm crawling back from the black to you
Every scar on my chest says “truth”
We’ll build that bridge with something true
Step by step through the ash like
“I still choose you” (oh yeah)
If there's a way to make this new
I'll stitch my shattered parts and hand them all to you
Yeah I was lost
But I'm crawling back from the black to you
