[Verse 1]
We were talking through our teeth
Cold words
Warm bed
Same sheets
You kept scrolling while I bled
Tiny cuts
Big pride
No peace
I was keeping all my scorecards
You were hiding in your phone calls
Both of us scared of the deep parts
So we stayed mad
Stayed small
[Pre-chorus]
Why we always love then sabotage it?
Why we never say it
Till we’re breaking?
You call me dramatic
But I’m just aching
If we gon’ lose it
Let’s lose the faking
[Chorus]
I made mistakes in this love
You did the same
Yeah
I know
If we gon’ break
Let it break open
Show me the hurt
So we can grow
We can do better this time
Better this time
Better this time
If we confess what we’ve been hiding
We could do better this time
[Verse 2]
You said
“You don’t listen to me”
I said it right back
Like a mirror
Both of us raising our voices
When we really needed to hear ya
I’ve been holding grudges like trophies
You’ve been shutting down when it’s storming
What if we put all our phones down?
Talk slow
Till the pain sounds honest
[Bridge]
Let’s unlearn all our bad habits
All that ego
You can have it
I’ll say “I’m sorry” without the “but”
You can say “I’m scared” when it’s too much
We can write new rules on the fridge door
No more silent wars on the bedroom floor
If we fight
We fight fair
If we cry
We stay there
[Chorus]
I made mistakes in this love
You did the same
Yeah
I know
If we gon’ break
Let it break open
Show me the hurt
So we can grow
We can do better this time
Better this time
Better this time
If we forgive what we’ve been hiding
We could do better this time
[Outro]
Say my name like you still choose it
Touch my hand like you won’t lose it
If we’re both in
Both aligned
We can do better
Do better this time
