[Intro]
We look so damn happy in the pictures,
Like nothing ever gets beneath our skin.
Your head against my shoulder,
My arms where they’ve always been.
And I swear that smile was honest,
Every second of it true.
So how the hell do we go from heaven
To me standing here fighting with you?
[Verse 1]
We laugh until we’re breathless,
Love like we’re seventeen.
You look across the room at me
And still bring me to my knees.
Then one word becomes a weapon,
One wound becomes them all.
You’re pulling back, I’m holding tighter,
Waiting for the other shoe to fall.
You ask me, “Baby, are we toxic?”
I don’t know what I’m supposed to say.
I’ve never felt this fucking loved
Or this scared you’ll walk away.
[Chorus]
You’re my beautiful disaster,
My peace and my hurricane.
We kiss like we’re forever,
Then fight like we’re walking away.
From “God, I fucking love you”
To “I can’t keep doing this again.”
But when I picture life without you,
That’s not how I want this to end.
We’re fire against gasoline,
But fire can still give light.
I don’t wanna love you less—
I just wanna love you right.
[Verse 2]
You disappeared while I was sleeping,
I thought our Friday curse was over.
Morning came, we pulled together,
Just to fall apart again.
You said you never meant to do it,
You were tired, angry, lost.
But my head heard, “She was leaving,”
And my heart just felt the cost.
Maybe when you’re scared you push away.
Maybe when I’m scared I hold too tight.
Maybe neither one of us wants out—
We just don’t know how to fight.
[Bridge]
Those pictures weren’t pretending.
That laughter wasn’t fake.
I know exactly how I felt
Every time I saw your face.
Maybe love’s not what’s broken.
Maybe we’re just scared to lose it.
So we turn something beautiful
Into something that can bruise us.
So if you’re asking, “Are we toxic?”
Baby, here’s my truth tonight:
I don’t think our love is poison.
I think we haven’t learned to fight.
[Final Chorus]
You’re my beautiful disaster,
My peace and my hurricane.
The woman I can laugh with
And somehow drive completely insane.
I don’t want another battlefield.
I don’t need another scar.
I want the girl who laughs beside me,
Not another night at war.
So let the old way burn behind us.
I still believe we’re worth the fight.
I don’t wanna love you less—
I just wanna love you right.
[Outro]
We looked so damn happy in those pictures.
Maybe that’s because we were.
Maybe that’s still us…
When we remember
we’re on the same side.
