[Verse 1]
We had that cheap wine
Warm on the back porch
You said “it’s always”
I said “of course”
You held your phone low
Screen lighting your face
Laughing at someone
You swore was a mistake
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept on folding my anger
Into little paper cranes
Stacked them on the dresser
Like they’d fly you out my brain
[Chorus]
You broke me first
Now I’m better off numb
Heart on the shelf
And the senses shut down
Yeah you were a fever
I kept holding on
Now I’m done
I’m done
I’m better off numb
You cut me deep
Now I don’t even bleed
Cold in my chest where your fire used to be
You were my storm
I was drowning in love
Now I’m done
I’m done
I’m better off numb
[Verse 2]
We had that same fight
Over your late nights
You smelled like perfume
That wasn’t mine
I played the blind one
You played the martyr
Both of us actors
Reading from water
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept on blaming my heartbeat
For pounding when you’d lie
Thought I could move a mountain
By wishing one more time
[Chorus]
You broke me first
Now I’m better off numb
Heart on the shelf
And the senses shut down
Yeah you were a fever
I kept holding on
Now I’m done
I’m done
I’m better off numb
You cut me deep
Now I don’t even bleed
Cold in my chest where your fire used to be
You were my storm
I was drowning in love
Now I’m done
I’m done
I’m better off numb
[Bridge]
I used to wait by the window (oh)
Phone on my chest till it hurt
Promised myself you’d be different
You just got better at words
Now when your name hits my screen
It’s only static to me
I finally feel like a person
Not just a part of your scene
[Chorus]
You broke me first
Now I’m better off numb
Heart on the shelf
And the senses shut down
Yeah you were a fever
I kept holding on
Now I’m done
I’m done
I’m better off numb
You cut me deep
Now I don’t even bleed
Cold in my chest where your fire used to be
You were my storm
I was drowning in love
Now I’m done
I’m done
I’m better off numb
