[Intro]
I turn my scars
into something you can sing to
If it helps you breathe tonight
bleed with me too
[Verse 1]
You call me when your hands shake
say you’re standing on the edge of your mistakes
I tell you, “Baby, I’m the same way”
laugh about the damage while we both fray
Said we’d quit the patterns that we both chase
then we used each other as the band-aid
Kissing over bruises in a dark place
telling pretty stories that the cuts hate
[Chorus]
My words as comfort
my love as pain
Hold you together
while I fall away
You lie on my chest
I drown in the rain
I make you feel safe
while I go insane
[Verse 2]
You like me better with my eyes red
saying, “You’re so honest when your mind’s bent”
I keep pouring poison in the same glass
you keep sipping pieces of my failed past
You trace every crack on my cold face
say my broken heart is your soft space
We confuse collapse for a warm hug
promise it’s the last time, then we double up
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You told me I’m your safe house
but every room inside is burning down
You sleep through the sirens somehow
wrapped in the smoke of my meltdown
If hurting me helps you hold on
I’ll hand you every sharp edge I own
Let me be the one that goes wrong
so you don’t feel so alone
[Chorus]
