[Verse 1]
You raised your voice
Before the sun
Coffee on the counter
Threats on your tongue
Year after year
You wore me thin
Learned how to flinch
Before you walked in
[Chorus]
I never touched her
Just looked at peace
Like a thirsty man
Watching the sea
You call it cheating
‘cause I learned to dream
While you were busy
Tearing at the seams
You say your body
Was some kind of need
Then how’s my silence
Count worse than what you did to me
[Verse 2]
There’s this girl from work
Laughs with her eyes
Hands full of ink
Heart full of light
I’d drive home slow
With her in my head
Then park out front
Crawl into our bed (so cold)
[Chorus]
I never touched her
Just looked at peace
Like a thirsty man
Watching the sea
You call it cheating
‘cause I learned to dream
While you were busy
Tearing at the seams
You say your body
Was some kind of need
Then how’s my silence
Count worse than what you did to me
[Bridge]
You say
“It’s just one night”
But you carved it in my spine
All those years you broke me down
Now you wanna draw the line
You wear that story
Like perfume on your skin
But every time you justify it
I remember what has been
[Chorus]
I never touched her
Just looked at peace
Like a thirsty man
Watching the sea
You call it cheating
‘cause I learned to dream
While you were busy
Tearing at the seams
You say your body
Was some kind of need
But I was bleeding on the floor
While you walked free
I never touched her
Just wanted to breathe
Tell me how that thought
Hurts more than what you did to me
