[Verse 1]
I still remember every word, every look, every scene
Now we’re strangers in the same story, somewhere in between
And I know there’s hurt that’s standing where we used to be
But there’s two sides to every silence, two hearts trying to see
I’ve replayed the conversations a thousand times alone
Searching for the moments where we both felt unknown
Maybe we got lost inside the things we couldn’t say
Maybe all the distance grew from fear along the way
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need forever tonight
I don’t need us to make it right
I just wish you’d sit with me face to face
So we could finally clear the rain away
[Chorus]
Cut my skin but my heart bleeds more
Every day you’re further than the day before
I don’t want to fight, I don’t want a war
I just want a chance to open that door
Let the truth fall where it belongs
Talk about the rights and wrongs
Maybe start again like we did before
’Cause cut my skin but my heart bleeds more
[Verse 2]
I don’t need the ending written in the stars tonight
I just miss the way your presence made the world feel right
Maybe we begin with friendship, take it day by day
And if love finds us again someday, I’ll welcome it that way
‘Cause feelings never vanished, they just learned to wait
Holding onto hope while respecting fate
And even if the answer isn’t what I’m dreaming of
I’d rather hear the truth than lose what’s left of us
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need forever tonight
I don’t need us to make it right
I just wish you’d sit with me face to face
So we could finally clear the rain away
[Chorus]
Cut my skin but my heart bleeds more
Every day you’re further than the day before
I don’t want to fight, I don’t want a war
I just want a chance to open that door
Let the truth fall where it belongs
Talk about the rights and wrongs
Maybe start again like we did before
’Cause cut my skin but my heart bleeds more
[Bridge]
If we never talk, these questions never sleep
And the words we never say become the wounds we keep
So if there’s still a road between your heart and mine
I’ll walk it one step at a time
Not asking for a promise
Not asking for your hand
Just asking for a moment
To finally understand
[Final Chorus]
Cut my skin but my heart bleeds more
Still holding onto what we’re fighting for
Maybe as friends, maybe something more
Like the way we used to dream before
If tomorrow gives us one more chance
I’ll meet your eyes and take that dance
And maybe we’ll find what we’ve been looking for
’Cause cut my skin but my heart bleeds more
[Outro]
So I’ll wait for the day we finally speak
When understanding finds the words we couldn’t keep
And whether it’s friendship or love restored
You should know my heart still beats yours.
