[Verse 1]
You were my first respond
To every shaking thought
Medicated laughter
Over everything we fought
Your blue eyes
My cracked pride
We called it faith
It felt like crime
We called it “us
” but really
We were bleeding out in time
[Pre-Chorus]
Siren in my chest
Emergency in slow motion
Therapy in text threads
Scrolling through the damage
Through the devotion
[Chorus]
It’s a trauma bond
Calling it love while we come undone
Night time speed on an empty street
Racing the ghosts that we never treat
Anxiety
Sleeping beside you
But I can’t breathe
Compassion twisted into chains on me
And we still call it destiny
[Verse 2]
You dose me with affection
Then you cut me with your doubt
I wear your latest verdict
Like a stain I can’t wash out
We joke about our issues
Medicated laughter till it stings
We draw hearts around our problems
Like that changes what they mean
[Pre-Chorus]
Siren in your voice
Every “I’m fine” sounds like warning
Emergency in your silence
Hoping that we make it to the morning
[Chorus]
It’s a trauma bond
Calling it love while we come undone
Night time speed on an empty street
Racing the ghosts that we never treat
Anxiety
Sleeping beside you
But I can’t breathe
Compassion twisted into chains on me
And we still call it destiny
[Bridge]
Therapy on Tuesday
Back in hell by Friday night (oh)
We keep stitching shattered moments
Like they’ll hold us
Like they’re right
Your blue eyes
My bruised will
We keep swearing we’re alright
But every kiss feels like a drill
Every heartbeat like a light
[Chorus]
It’s a trauma bond
Calling it love while we come undone
Night time speed on an empty street
Racing the ghosts that we never treat
Anxiety
Sleeping beside you
But I can’t breathe
Compassion twisted into chains on me
And we still call it destiny (call it destiny)
