[Verse 1]
You slam the cupboard
Porcelain shakes
Coffee gone bitter
On lips that won’t say
What you’re thinking
But I hear it anyway
Ash in the sink
From a fight we forgot
Your jacket half-zipped
You say you’re “fine” but you’re not
We’re both cornered
By the things that we’re not
[Pre-Chorus]
You draw that line in the kitchen tile
Say “this is it, I’m done”
But I see your hands still shaking
Like you’re scared of what we’ve become
[Chorus]
Between fire and truth
We’re standing here, burned and bruised
But I won’t be the one who turns this love to loss
There’s a line I won’t cross
There’s a line I won’t cross
[Verse 2]
You pack a suitcase
With every old doubt
Fold up my T-shirt
Like you’re folding me out
You say “it’s simple”
But your voice is too loud
Your eyes hit the floor
When you call this a phase
You talk about leaving
But you’re begging me stay
In the silence
Every word’s in the way
[Pre-Chorus]
You stack your reasons like broken glass
Say “we’re too far gone”
But I feel your pulse run faster
Like your heart still wants to hold on
[Chorus]
Between fire and truth
We’re standing here, burned and bruised
But I won’t be the one who turns this love to loss
There’s a line I won’t cross
There’s a line I won’t cross (oh)
[Bridge]
I won’t call you names
Just to feel less small
Won’t twist your stories
So I don’t take the fall
I’d rather bleed in your daylight
Than win in the dark at all
I won’t weaponize your secrets
Won’t say what I can’t undo
I’d rather break in a whisper
Than shatter the last of you (yeah)
[Chorus]
Between fire and truth
We’re standing here, burned and bruised
But I won’t be the one who turns this love to loss
There’s a line I won’t cross
There’s a line I won’t cross
[Outro]
So leave if you have to
But don’t say I was cruel
I’ll stand on this side
Holding hard to the truth
Between fire and truth
I’m still choosing you
On this line I won’t cross
This line I won’t lose
