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

I never meant to send it
