[Verse 1]
I was small in that room
Told to bite back tears
“Don’t you fall apart”
That’s what I heard for years
So I swallowed it down
Let it rot in my chest
Kept my mouth shut tight
Kept the hurt unpressed
[Pre-Chorus]
Now it knocks like thunder
On my ribcage door
One more word from you
And I can’t hold it anymore
[Chorus]
Don’t come close
Don’t come close
I’m holding fire in my bones
Don’t come close
Don’t come close
I meant to hurt you
Just to get you gone
[Verse 2]
I know I should breathe
I know I should bend
But every old scar
Keeps coming back again
You see the calm face
But you don’t see the break
I’m one bad memory
From a full-scale quake
[Pre-Chorus]
Now it knocks like thunder
On my ribcage door
One more word from you
And I can’t hold it anymore
[Chorus]
Don’t come close
Don’t come close
I’m holding fire in my bones
Don’t come close
Don’t come close
I meant to hurt you
Just to get you gone
[Bridge]
If I let it out
Will I still be me?
Or a cracked-up kid
With no place left to bleed
[Final Chorus]
Don’t come close
Don’t come close
I’m holding fire in my bones
Don’t come close
Don’t come close
I meant to hurt you
Just to get you gone
Don’t come close
Don’t come close
I’m trying not to ruin
Everything I know
