[Verse 1]
We were kids in metal shirts
Laughing at the back of the show
You drew hearts on my wrist
Said
"Promise you won’t let go"
Years pass
And you’re on my screen
Same eyes
But a different life
You say
"I think about us"
I choke and I kill the reply
[Pre-Chorus]
Every “what if” burns my tongue
Got your name like rust in my lungs
[Chorus]
I love you in the wrong time
Right one
Wrong life
Got a heartbeat screaming your name
But you’re not mine
I’m holding on by letting you go
Tearing myself from the ghost I know
I love you in the wrong time
Right one
Wrong life
[Verse 2]
You talk about moving back
Say you hate sleeping alone
I can feel my edges crack
Hearing you through the phone
You say
"We could make this work"
I can hear my future break
Your laugh feels like home
But the cost is more than I can take
[Pre-Chorus]
Every “come back” cuts too deep
You’re the wound I have to keep
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] I saw our faces in a house
Photos on a crowded shelf
Kids with your smile
My eyes
A version of myself
[building] But there’s another hand in your hand
Another ring on my skin
If I rip you out of that world
How could anything we start ever win?
[screamed] So I’ll be the villain in my own head
I’ll be the one that walks instead
I’ll carry this weight like chains
So you don’t have to feel this pain
[Chorus]
