[Verse 1]
You say “relax”
like you live inside my skull
Like you ever held your breath
till the room turned dull
I’ve been chewing on the same old fears
Jaw locked
eyes hot
taste of metal in my ears
You push that button
like it’s just a joke
I’ve been stitching up my patience
thread by thread, it broke
You call it drama
I call it pressure
Hands start shaking
can’t find center
[Chorus]
I’m losing my temper
bit by bit, piece by piece (yeah)
Every word you throw
cuts a new tear in the seams
You say I’m “too much”
I say you don’t feel enough
I’m losing my temper
and I might lose us
[Verse 2]
You flip the script
act calm, act cold
Watch me spiral
like it’s all my fault
You wear my triggers
like a twisted crown
Say “you’re crazy”
while you drag me down
I’ve been walking on the edge
of the old me, new me
Heart on fire in a room
full of gasoline
One more lie
and I might light the match
One more sigh
and I might not come back (back)
[Chorus]
I’m losing my temper
bit by bit, piece by piece (oh)
Every word you throw
cuts a new tear in the seams
You say I’m “too much”
I say you don’t feel enough
I’m losing my temper
and I might lose us
[Bridge]
You want the quiet boy
but love this storm
You feed the chaos
then fear the form
You say “calm down”
while you twist the knife
How you blame the fire
when you set my life alight? (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m losing my temper
bit by bit, piece by piece
Every promise that you broke
keeps on pulling at the strings
You say I’m “too much”
but you keep showing up
I’m losing my temper
and I might lose
might lose
us
