Verse 1

We used to run from sleep, afraid to close our eyes cause we couldn’t bear waking up alone our bodies close, but still I could feel the distance between us making this house feel cold

Pre-Chorus

We traded bruises like vows we never spoke

We broke to pieces long before our hearts went up in smoke

Chorus

This was never love, this was a bed of nails

Two arson hearts that liked the way it failed

You hit, I broke, we called it connection

Stayed for the war, blamed affection

We bleed, we stay, like something holy

Toxic tastes sweeter when you’re lonely

⸻

Verse 2

Your sheets know more blood than comfort now

Mascara stains on our pillows from tears cried

Dirty fingerprints map every scar you hide

Each one a memory trying not to die

Pre-Chorus

We shattered mirrors so we wouldn’t have to see

That the worst parts of you look just like me

⸻

Chorus

This was never love, this was a bed of nails

Two arson hearts that liked the way it failed

You hit, I broke, we called it connection

Stayed for the war, blamed affection

We bleed, we stay, like something holy

Toxic tastes sweeter when you’re lonely

⸻

Bridge

We should have known better

We never learned to leave, we only learned to chase

A love that loves to hate, a kiss that leaves a taste

⸻

Final Chorus (Realization)

This was never love, it’s a bed of nails

A horror we romanticized, a high that always fails

Disgusted by the hunger, sick of the devotion

Addicted to the violence, mistaking it for passion

We stayed to self-destruct, thinking pain was beauty

But waking up I see it — it’s rotten, it’s filthy

⸻

Outro

I’m pulling off the blankets, stepping over wreckage

No final blow, no goodbye message

Just taillights burning through the blinds
