[Verse]
Back when I was a bad apple stealing nights from the sun
You held my busted halo said boy this war aint won
I was all sharp corners
You were soft hands on the gun
[Verse 2]
You patched my jeans my ego my bleeding tongue
Told me grow up baby but dont you ever grow numb
I was smoke in a bottle
You were lungs that wouldnt run
[Prechorus]
Did you know you were saving a stray with your name in his veins
Did you know every no that you spoke washed the rust off my chains
[Chorus]
Nyla you loved me when I was no good
Nyla you held me when nobody would
You turned my wrong roads into right turns
Now my heart burns my heart burns
Nyla say the word and I will stay
Nyla you are home when the world goes gray
I was lost in the night til you lit my way
Nyla Nyla you are in my DNA
[Verse 3]
I used to laugh at futures toss them straight in the trash
Now I stack little daydreams of us and our stash
Groceries and light bills
Tiny rings tiny cash
[Prechorus]
Every scar on my past you trace like a map to our bed
You say look where you came from baby not where you bled
