(Verse 1)
You said forever, then you left me cold,
Turned my open heart into fool’s gold.
I keep saying I’m done, I’m through,
But every storm still leads to you.
I hate the way I still believe,
In something that keeps breaking me.
But love’s a fire I can’t unlearn,
Even when it burns.
(Chorus)
I don’t trust like I used to,
But I still love like I can’t choose.
Even when it rips me down,
I keep my heart unbound.
Yeah, I’m angry, yeah, I’m scared,
But I still care — God, I still care.
Can’t give up on people,
Even when they fade away.
(Verse 2)
I built these walls from shattered glass,
Watch the sunlight bleed right through the cracks.
It’s messy, but it’s mine to feel,
And somehow that’s what makes it real.
You can lie to me, I’ve heard it all,
Still I’ll answer when you call.
‘Cause loving’s not a choice I make,
It’s the ache I just can’t shake.
(Chorus)
I don’t trust like I used to,
But I still love like I can’t choose.
Even when it rips me down,
I keep my heart unbound.
Yeah, I’m angry, yeah, I’m scared,
But I still care — God, I still care.
Can’t give up on people,
Even when they fade away.
(Bridge)
Maybe I’m cursed with too much soul,
Maybe my hope won’t let me go.
I bite my tongue, I break, I bleed,
But I still give what they don’t need.
(Final Chorus)
I don’t trust like I used to,
But love still cuts its way right through.
Even when the light is gone,
I keep holding on.
Yeah, I’m angry, yeah, I’m tired,
But love’s my one desire.
Can’t give up on people,
Even when they turn away.
(Outro)
Hate and love, they sound the same,
Whispered soft inside the flame.
And I can’t stop loving…
Anyway.
