I know I should

Verse 1

I know the cracks in these kitchen walls

Know every lie we don’t say at all

I see the way you look through me

Like I’m some ghost you used to need

I’ve packed my bags and dreams

Sat in that car by the county line

But I turn that key and kill the lights

Every time.

Pre-Chorus

I tell myself this ain’t love anymore

But my heart don’t listen like it did before you got some weird hold on me

Chorus

I know I should run, I know I should go

But your goodbye feels like jumping off a cliff I know

If I’m drowning, I’m the one who stays

I’m the one who does the crying, I’m the one you blame

You say I’m too much, too hard to hold

Too broken to fix, I try to let go. But honey, let’s just say you’re right, maybe I’m wrong

Maybe I’ve been your problem all along

But if that’s true,… why can’t I leave?

Verse 2

My friends all say I deserve more

But they don’t feel what I feel when you walk through that door

You’re my hurt, you’re my broken home

And I don’t know who I am alone

Pre-Chorus

I know love ain’t supposed to hurt like this,

But losing you feels worse than the truth

Chorus

I know I should run,

But your goodbye feels like jumping off a cliff I know

If I’m drowning, I’m the one who stays

crying, I’m the one to blame

You say I’m too much, too hard to hold

Too wild to fix, too scared to let go

Maybe you’re right, maybe I’m wrong

Maybe I’ve been the problem all along

But if I’m the problem… why can’t I leave?

Bridge

Maybe I got used to the ache

Maybe chaos is my kind of safe

Maybe loving you’s the only thing

That makes me feel anything

Breakdown (soft)

I know I should leave…

I just don’t know who I’d be

Final Chorus (big, emotional)

I know I should run, I know I should go

But loving you’s the only life I know

If I’m sinking, I’m the one who stays

If it’s broken, I’m the one who prays

You say I’m too much, too hard to hold

Too scared of silver linings and letting go

Maybe you’re right, maybe I’m wrong

Maybe I’ve been the problem all along

But if I’m the problem…

Why does leaving you feel like losing me?

Outro

I know I need to leave…

But I don’t know how to breathe

Without you.
