[Verse 1]
You trace my name
In the dust on the window glass
Say you’re not leaving
Just “taking it day by day”
But your eyes
Already halfway past the door
You kiss my shoulder
Like you’re saying sorry in advance
[Pre-Chorus]
Is this love or a slow surrender
You’re here but you’re far away
Every “it’s fine” getting sharp
Getting thinner
I can taste all the words you never say (never say)
[Chorus]
Pain
You dress it up and call it something else
Say it’s “just a phase”
While you’re killing me in stealth
I feel you pulling back
Thread by thread
Stitch by stitch
Pain
You’re the one I want
And the wound I can’t fix (oh)
Pain
You’re the one I want
And the wound I can’t fix
[Verse 2]
You laugh too loud
At a joke you barely hear
Stare at the ceiling
Like there’s something written there
Your touch goes missing
In the middle of your hands
You hold me closer
But you’re holding back again
[Pre-Chorus]
Every promise hangs like a chandelier
Beautiful
Ready to fall
You turn your face and the silence gets nearer
I keep waiting for impact against the wall (against the wall)
[Chorus]
Pain
You dress it up and call it something else
Say it’s “just a phase”
While you’re killing me in stealth
I feel you pulling back
Thread by thread
Stitch by stitch
Pain
You’re the one I want
And the wound I can’t fix (yeah)
Pain
You’re the one I want
And the wound I can’t fix
[Bridge]
[Drop – drums and bass hit
Vocals low and intimate]
Tell me
Is there someone in the mirror
That you’re trying to escape
Am I the habit
That you’re breaking in your sleep
You breathe my name
Like a secret you regret
But you won’t let go
You won’t let go of it (oh)
[Chorus]
Pain
You dress it up and call it something else
Say it’s “just a phase”
While you’re killing me in stealth
I feel you pulling back
Thread by thread
Stitch by stitch
Pain
You’re the one I want
And the wound I can’t fix
Pain
Write it on my skin
In a language of your leaving
Pain
I still let you in
Even when I feel you leaving
