[Verse 1]
House quiet
My head loud
Snapped quick
I’m ashamed now
Little faces
Big eyes stare
My rage echo
In the thin air
I see them flinch
That tiny wince
I’d trade anything
To rewind ten minutes
I’m my worst fear
In my dad’s skin
Saying I’d be different
Then I slip again
[Chorus]
I hate the way I talk to you
When my storm comes crashing through
Tiny hearts don’t owe my pain
You just learn my broken ways
I miss the me that used to laugh
Soft hands, not this sharpened wrath
I miss the nights we used to touch
I miss your eyes that used to trust
[Verse 2]
You in the doorway
Holding your breath
We used to kiss there
Now it’s distance instead
I see the tired in you
Mirror of mine
Two ghosts sharing
The same lifeline
We used to tangle
Till the daylight crept
Now we turn our backs
Scroll and forget
I crave your shoulder
Your fingers interlaced
But I wear this anger
Like a mask on my face
[Chorus]
I hate the way I talk to you
When my storm comes crashing through
Tiny hearts don’t owe my pain
You just learn my broken ways
I miss the me that used to laugh
Soft hands, not this sharpened wrath
I miss the nights we used to touch
I miss your eyes that used to trust
[Bridge]
I’m scared you’ll only know me
As the shout, not the shelter
As the weight, not the helper
I’m begging myself
To break this chain
To hold you close
Before you know my name as pain (yeah)
[Chorus]
I hate the way I talk to you
When my storm comes crashing through
Tiny hearts don’t owe my pain
You just learn my broken ways
I miss the me that used to laugh
Soft hands, not this sharpened wrath
I miss the nights we used to touch
I miss your eyes that used to trust
I miss being happy in my skin
I miss the us we used to live in
