[Verse 1]
I never meant for this to twist into something real,
But every time you’re near me, it’s a truth I can’t conceal.
I go home to someone else, but it feels like a ghost,
And you’re the fire in my chest that I feel the most.
I’m lying with her while thinking of you,
I swear I’m breaking myself in two.
How did I fall into something this deep,
While living a life I no longer want to keep?
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m trapped in the space between wrong and right,
Caught in a war I can’t win without a fight.
⸻
[Chorus]
’Cause my heart beats louder when I’m next to you—
A truth I’m terrified but dying to prove.
I’m losing myself trying to hold this line,
Wishing the love I want was already mine.
I’m torn in a world that’s falling apart—
Loving one, while giving you my heart.
I know it’s messed up, but I can’t let go…
I want you more than she could ever know.
⸻
[Verse 2]
I never asked for a second chance at fate,
But you showed me the kind of love I can’t recreate.
I feel alive in ways I tried to forget,
You’re the reason for the heart I haven’t killed yet.
Every message, every touch in the dark,
Is gasoline poured on a half-dead spark.
I’m scared of the truth but scared to stay—
Tell me, do you feel the same way?
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m trapped in the space between truth and lies,
Caught in a future that’s burning behind my eyes.
⸻
[Chorus]
’Cause my heart beats louder when I’m next to you—
A truth I’m terrified but dying to prove.
I’m losing myself trying to hold this line,
Wishing the love I want was already mine.
I’m torn in a world that’s falling apart—
Loving one, while giving you my heart.
I know it’s messed up, but I can’t let go…
I want you more than she could ever know.
⸻
[Bridge – Heavy, Conflicted]
I’m tired of pretending that I’m not bleeding inside,
Tired of living a life that doesn’t feel like mine.
If love is a crime, then lock me away—
’Cause you’re the only one I’d choose anyway.
I don’t want to hurt her, but I don’t want to lie…
I’m done living half-alive.
⸻
[Final Chorus – Bigger, emotional]
My heart beats louder when I’m next to you—
A truth I can’t bury, no matter what I do.
I’m standing at the edge of the life I know,
Ready to fall if you tell me “don’t let go.”
I’m done being torn, done falling apart—
You’re the one who really owns my heart.
It’s wrong, it’s reckless, but I need you so…
More than she could ever know.
