[Verse 1]
I turned my phone face down
Let your name just glow
Like a doorbell I can't answer
On a house I barely own
I love the way you listen
But I trip over my chest
Every time you ask "you okay?"
I just say "I'm fine
Just rest"
[Chorus]
I need a little space to breathe
But I don't wanna lose you
I’m scared if I stay
I'll bleed
And scared if I leave
I'll bruise you
I’m standing in the doorway
Of everything I want and fear
I need to be alone tonight
But I still want you here
[Verse 2]
You’re folding my old T‑shirt
Like it's something worth the care
I joke about just running
You laugh
But I stay there
You wrap your arms around me
The room turns paper thin
All this air feels heavy
When I hold it all within
[Chorus]
I need a little space to breathe
But I don't wanna lose you
I’m scared if I stay
I'll bleed
And scared if I leave
I'll bruise you
I’m standing in the doorway
Of everything I want and fear
I need to be alone tonight
But I still want you here
[Bridge]
What if I vanish
Just for a while
Would you still wait
Or close that smile
If I say "go"
Will you hear "stay"
I love you
But I don't know how to say
[Chorus]
I need a little space to breathe
But I don't wanna lose you
I’m scared if I stay
I'll bleed
And scared if I leave
I'll bruise you
I’m standing in the doorway
Of everything I want and fear
I need to be alone tonight
But I still want you here
[Outro]
So if I turn the lights off
Please don't take it as goodbye
It's just me trying to find
A little air inside
