Verse 1

I’m bad at math but good at doubt

Counting flaws I can’t account

You talk in circles, I pace the room

Like pacing’s gonna save us soon

Your silence says more than you do

I fill the gaps with worst-case truths

I rehearse fights I’ll never win

Then apologize for how they end

Pre-Chorus

I trip on words I meant to say

And swallow them anyway

Chorus

So tear me open, stitch me wrong

I’ll wear the proof I cared too long

We burn too bright to play it cool

I break the rules just breaking you

If this is love, it’s unpolished

All elbows, heart, and broken promises

I’d do it all again tonight

Messy, nervous, wrong, but right

Verse 2

I write my name on everything

Like that makes it permanent

You treat goodbye like punctuation

I treat it like an accident

Your friends say I’m a phase you’re in

Like cheap cologne or cigarettes

But I’m the echo in your head

You haven’t shaken off just yet

Pre-Chorus

I talk too fast, I feel too much

I never learned the middle ground

Chorus

So tear me open, stitch me wrong

I’ll wear the proof I cared too long

We burn too bright to play it cool

I break the rules just breaking you

If this is love, it’s unpolished

All elbows, heart, and broken promises

I’d do it all again tonight

Messy, nervous, wrong, but right

Bridge (half-time, clever bite)

I don’t need closure

I need a reason

You don’t need answers

You need a season

Breakdown

Say my name like it’s a question

Say my name like it still hurts

Final Chorus (double-time feel)

So tear me open, stitch me wrong

I’ve been this way my whole damn life

If we go down, we go out loud

No soft landings, no alibis

If this is love, it’s unscripted

Sharp edges and bad decisions

I’d do it all again tonight

Messy, nervous, wrong, but right
