[Intro]
I know the cost, still reach for the flame
Say I’m done, then I whisper your name
[Verse 1 - Fast]
Pocket full of promises, none of them paid
Running through the reasons that I carefully made
You were bad news dressed in a beautiful face
I kept calling it love while it hollowed my place
One hit, one kiss, one night turns four
Then I’m counting every crack in the bathroom door
Friends say leave, but the room says stay
I can hear my better judgment fading away
[Pre-Chorus - Building]
I draw a line, then I step across
Call it desire, but I know the loss
[Chorus - Slow]
You feel like love when I’m falling apart
Warm little lie with a hook in my heart
I swear I can quit, then I reach for the rush
You’re the wound I protect, the poison I trust
[Verse 2 - Fast]
Quick tongue, quick pulse, quick change in the weather
I stitch up the truth just to keep us together
You take what you need, I defend what you take
Turn a warning sign into something I crave
No sleep, cold coffee, phone face down
Everybody sees it, I still stick around
I’m not chasing you, that’s the story I sell
But the minute you vanish, I’m searching like hell
[Bridge - Half-Time]
If this is love, why do I hide?
Why does the morning feel like I survived?
I want your hands, I want my name
I want the comfort without the chains
[Final Chorus - Slow, Bigger]
You feel like love when I’m falling apart
Warm little lie with a hook in my heart
I swear I can quit, but the promise won’t hold
You’re the sweetest mistake I keep choosing to know
[Outro - Slow]
One last time, that’s what I say
One last time, then I fade away
