Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He’s got power over me
One small smile
And I can’t breathe
I keep my jacket on indoors
Like that’s enough
To guard the doors
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time his fingers
Trace my spine
I remember every ending
Every warning sign
[Chorus]
Tale as old as time
He’s holding me
Then going cold
I want to give my heart
But my hands won’t let it go
I keep standing on the edge
Of everything I’ve known
I need to let go
But I don’t
I don’t know how to let go
[Verse 2]
We talk in circles
On his floor
Clock says midnight
I stay more
He says my name like
It’s a dare
I answer anyway
Like a prayer
[Pre-Chorus]
I could pack my feelings
Leave tonight
But he just says “come closer”
And I kill the light
[Chorus]
Tale as old as time
He’s holding me
Then going cold
I want to give my heart
But my hands won’t let it go
I keep standing on the edge
Of everything I’ve known
I need to let go
But I don’t
I don’t know how to let go
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m the one
Who keeps the chain
Choosing the same face
With a different name
If I take one step
Past his door
Will I miss him
Or miss the war
[Chorus]
Tale as old as time
He’s holding me
Then going cold
I want to give my heart
But my hands won’t let it go
I keep standing on the edge
Of everything I’ve known
I need to let go
I know
But I don’t know how to let go
