Breathless

(Verse 1)
I see you out there, chasing shadows in the night,
Playing your games, turning love into a fight.
You break hearts like it’s just another day,
Leavin’ ’em shattered, then you walk away.

(Chorus)
I tried to play along, match your fire with my own,
Sleep around town, make you feel alone.
Thought I’d break your heart, leave you in the dust,
But damn, I suck at this, ‘cause my love’s too much.
I’m not built like you, cold and carefree,
Every time I try, it just breaks me.

(Verse 2)
I hit the bars, flirt with strangers in the dark,
Tryna numb the pain, light a different spark.
But your face haunts me in every crowded room,
Whispers in my ear, pullin’ me back to you.
I wanna hurt you bad, make you taste the sting,
But my heart’s too soft for this kinda thing.

(Chorus)
I tried to play along, match your fire with my own,
Sleep around town, make you feel alone.
Thought I’d break your heart, leave you in the dust,
But damn, I suck at this, ‘cause my love’s too much.
I’m not built like you, cold and carefree,
Every time I try, it just breaks me.

(Bridge)
Maybe I’m foolish, holdin’ on so tight,
While you’re out there dancin’ under neon lights.
I confuse the ache for somethin’ real and true,
But deep down I know, I’m just not like you.
One day I’ll learn, walk away for good,
But tonight I’m stuck in this misunderstood.

(Outro)
So here’s to tryin’, failin’ every time,
Lovin’ you too hard, crossin’ every line.
I can’t play your game, it’s tearin’ me apart,
Guess I’ll always be the one with the broken heart.
