Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Wake up in a sweat

Same four walls, same debt

Phone face down on the desk

So I don’t read what you text

Half my friends in the wind

Other half in my head

I been talking to the ceiling

Like it’s all that I got left

Mom said breathe, count to ten

I been stuck on three, my friend

Every mirror like a trial

I don’t like who I defend

Pacing circles in my room

Looking for a softer truth

But the hardest thing I ever did

Was tell the truth to you

[Chorus]

It just keeps running in reverse in my head (my head)

All the words I never said, all the words I said (I said)

If I could scrub it like a tape, would I still be this afraid?

Or would I let it play instead, let it play instead

It just keeps running in reverse in my head (oh, in my head)

Every fight, every night, every tear you shed

If I could cut and fade away, would I still feel this regret?

Or would I let it play instead, let it play instead (yeah)

[Verse 2]

New day, same bruise

Hide it underneath loose

Clothes, jokes, little half-smiles

Like I’m fine, what’s the news

Scrolling through your old pics

Heart doing old tricks

Why I only miss you now

That I’m the one you don’t miss

They say “heal, take time”

I say “cool,” then lie

Dive back into old lies

Just to feel half-alive

I been ducking every call

Writing names along the wall

If growing up is losing you

Then I don’t want to grow at all

[Chorus]

It just keeps running in reverse in my head (my head)

All the words I never said, all the words I said (I said)

If I could scrub it like a tape, would I still be this afraid?

Or would I let it play instead, let it play instead

It just keeps running in reverse in my head (oh, in my head)

Every fight, every night, every tear you shed

If I could cut and fade away, would I still feel this regret?

Or would I let it play instead, let it play instead (let it play)

[Bridge]

You said, “One day you’ll understand”

Now your echo’s in my hands

Holding on to every frame

Afraid to press erase again

[Chorus]

It just keeps running in reverse in my head (my head)

All the words I never said, all the words I said

If I could scrub it like a tape, would I still be this afraid?

Or would I let it play instead, let it play instead

It just keeps running in reverse in my head (running in my head)

Every fight, every night, every tear you shed

If I could cut and fade away, would I still feel this regret?

Or would I let it play instead, let it play instead (oh yeah)
