[Verse 1]
I was folding up my feelings like
Paper airplanes in the dark
Leave them on your kitchen table
Then I dip before you park
Yeah, I talk about my trauma
Like it’s just another joke
Then I go and check your page
Till my thumbs feel broke
[low vocal register]
You say, “Breathe, you’re more than damage”
I hear “Leave, you won’t stay”
Every compliment feels foreign
Like it’s shipped the wrong way
[Pre-Chorus]
I got ghosts in my contacts, names I can’t erase
Every time you say you love me, I just copy-paste
What I said to people who were never really there
[soft falsetto] I’m scared of how much I care
[Chorus]
Hold me while I’m coming undone
I’ve been running from a heart like mine
Say my name like I’m the only one
Let your voice cut through the sirens in my mind
If I fall, don’t you let me fade
Pull me closer when I pull away
Hold me while I’m coming undone
’Cause you’re the safest kind of runaway love
[Verse 2]
I keep track of every silence
Like a spreadsheet in my head
Overthink a single emoji
Till I’m shaking on the bed
You be knocking on my ribcage
Like, “You in there, let me in”
I’ve been boarding up the windows
Since I can’t forgive my sins
[whispered vocals]
All my friends think I’m the strong one
I just never show the tear
I’ve been curving every question
’Cause the answer’s always fear
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, my trust is like a house key buried in the snow
Every time you get me smiling, I still brace to go
But your hands feel like a promise I don’t wanna break
[soft falsetto] So I give you what I never let ’em take
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[reverb-heavy, distant]
Say you’ll stay when I’m distant
When I flinch at the good things
When I turn from the sunlight
Like it burns on my skin
Tell me flaws ain’t a sentence
Tell me love isn’t owed
Kiss the crack in my armor
Till it starts to corrode
[crescendo]
If I send you all my secrets
Like a late night, long text
Will you hold ’em in your chest
Not a weapon to flex?
[Chorus]
