Break Lines Cut

Verse 1

I learned how to flinch before I learned your name

Learned how to lie just to keep the peace

Every room still smells like fear

Every silence still cuts deep

I don’t sleep, I just drive

Chasing red lights through the night

If I stop, it all comes back

So I keep my foot down, don’t look back

Pre-Chorus

Love feels like a loaded gun

I don’t trust it, I don’t run

I’d rather crash than let it in

I’d rather bleed than feel again

Chorus

I’m fighting love like it’s trying to kill me

Fighting ghosts that still live in my head

I’m speeding just to feel something real

If I wreck, at least I won’t feel dead

I don’t brake, I don’t pray

I don’t need another reason to stay

I’m running from the hands that broke me

And the heart that keeps getting in the way

Verse 2

Every touch feels counterfeit

Every promise tastes like blood

You say “trust me,” I hear a threat

I’ve had enough of love

Dashboard glowing like a warning sign

Engine screaming what I can’t say

If love is slow and patient

Then it’s never felt my pain

Pre-Chorus

I don’t want your sympathy

I don’t want your arms on me

Every time I let someone close

I hear the crash before the road

Chorus

I’m fighting love like it’s trying to kill me

Fighting scars I can’t forget

I’m speeding just to outrun the feeling

That I’m still that broken kid

I don’t brake, I don’t heal

I don’t know how to feel what’s real

I’m running from the hands that broke me

And the heart that won’t let me be steel

Bridge

I don’t need saving

I need silence

I don’t need heaven

I need distance

Love left bruises I can’t explain

Said my name like it was shame

If this is love, then I refuse

I’ve survived worse things than you

Breakdown

Hands shaking

Mind racing

No destination

Just escaping

If I die young

Don’t call it reckless

Call it freedom

Call it breathless

Final Chorus

I’m fighting love like it’s my enemy

Like it’s the thing that ruins me

I’m speeding just to feel alive

If I crash, at least I tried

I don’t brake, I don’t slow

I don’t let my demons know

I’m running from the pain that raised me

And the love that I don’t want to own

Outro

Maybe someday I’ll let it in

Maybe someday I’ll slow my speed

But tonight the road understands

What love never did to me
