[Intro]
[whispered vocals]
You said
"this won’t hurt"
But your hands were already shaking
[Verse 1]
Teeth in your lip
Blood on my sleeve
You trace every crack
In the wall
In my chest
Like you’re reading a map
You laugh too loud
I breathe too fast
You say
"I’m not leaving"
Like a promise and a threat
[Pre-Chorus]
I taste salt when we’re smiling
You hold on like you’re hiding
From something that looks like me
[Chorus]
I love you till my throat gives out
Till every word is torn and raw
Every kiss feels like pulling glass
But I crawl back
I crawl back
I love you like an open wound
Screaming every time you move
If this is how it has to ache
Then let it break
Let it break
[Verse 2]
Nails in my back
Names on your wrist
You say
"I feel safest
When I’m standing on the edge"
We throw sharp words
Like plates at the floor
Shards in our socks
But we dance anyway
[Pre-Chorus]
Your "sorry" tastes like metal
You cry into my sweater
Saying
"promise you won’t heal"
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
You want my heart?
Take it with both hands
Twist ‘til it screams
Make it mean something
[screamed vocals]
MAKE IT MEAN SOMETHING
MAKE IT MEAN SOMETHING
Don’t you dare say "fine"
And fade out on me
[guitar solo]
[Breakdown]
Half-dead heartbeat
Pounding in my ears (so loud)
You’re the cut
I’m the pressure
But we both bleed out
[screamed vocals
Call-and-response]
"THIS IS LOVE"
(then why do I shake?)
"THIS IS LOVE"
(then what can you take?)
[Chorus]
