Intro
here… (shiver…)
gone… (soft gasp…)
here… gone…
can’t leave… can’t stay…
Verse 1
you hurt me
but I lean in (lean in… lean…)
voice soft, then sharp (cut… cut…)
I don’t know where I end
or where you begin
here… gone…
here… lost… gone… (ugh…)
I crave it
even knowing the burn will come
I tell myself it’s love
but my chest remembers the lies (burn… burn…)
Pre-Chorus
looping in your arms
I feel the calm
then it snaps
my body knows it’s not safe
here… gone… (shaky breath…)
here… gone… (soft inhale…)
Chorus
I’m stuck in you
can’t breathe
can’t run
can’t think
I want your warmth
but I get the storm
here… gone… here… gone… (whispered, gasping)
I need you
but you break me
here… gone…
I’m alive
but feel nothing
Verse 2
you see me
but only sometimes
enough to keep me tethered
I forgive the pain
because the brief calm
feels like the only home I’ve had
here… gone… here… lost…
I try to leave
I try to forget
but my body remembers
the touches, the silence, the fake care
here… gone… (soft gasp…)
Pre-Chorus 2
you regulate me
then abandon me
I spin in the loop
my chest tight, my mind foggy
here… gone… (uhh…)
here… gone… (soft growl…)
Chorus
I’m stuck in you
wanting the warmth
taking the pain
here… gone…
I fear your hands
but crave the touch
here… lost… gone…
I love the brief calm
but it never lasts
Bridge
why do I stay…
why do I crave…
I hate it…
I hate you…
I hate myself…
here… gone…
here… gone…
I’m tethered
even knowing the rope will burn (burn… burn…)
Final Chorus / Outro
I’m stuck in you (stuck… stuck…)
here… gone… here… lost…
I’m learning to breathe
without waiting for your storm
here… gone…
I survive
I remember
I let go
here… gone…
here… gone… (fading, soft inhale…)
