[Verse 1]
Spit in my face
Call it a favor
You laugh it off
I drown in the anger
You say you see me
Yeah
Through a keyhole
You crack the door
But you don’t cross the threshold
[Chorus]
You say
“I’m on your side”
While you stand there
Safe and dry
My dark thoughts
You call them “phases”
Like I’m faking all these scars in my mind
You say
“I’m on your side” (on my side)
But you never
Ever climb inside
All I get is empty phrases
You’re on my side
But you never arrive
[Verse 2]
You text “you good?”
Then ghost the tremor
I’m screaming silent
You skim the header
You want my truth
’Til it stains your sweater
You wash your hands
Say
“Talking should make it better”
[Breakdown]
Where were you
When I stared down the edge? (hey!)
Where were you
When I slipped off the ledge?
You preach care
But you don’t even dare
To look me in the eyes
When the darkness is there
[Chorus]
You say
“I’m on your side”
While you stand there
Safe and dry
My dark thoughts
You call them “phases”
Like I’m faking all these scars in my mind
You say
“I’m on your side” (on my side)
But you never
Ever cross that line
All I get is empty phrases
You’re on my side
But you’re never mine
