[Intro]
[male]
I was talkin’ like a stranger
In your kitchen, raisin’ danger
Words flyin’ like they hate you
When I’m the one that’s broken in the angle
[Verse 1]
[male]
You said “calm down”
I heard “back down”
Every soft word
Sounded like a smackdown
Knuckles on the table
Glass on the floor
I was swingin’ with my tongue
Tryna even some score
Red face, tight jaw
Couldn’t see your tear fall
Every “always,” every “never”
I was usin’ like a wrecking ball
You said, “Who is this?”
I said, “You made me”
Truth is, that’s a lie
That the dark side gave me
[Chorus]
[female]
I lost myself, I lost my way
Threw my love like it’s cheap, like it’s all just clay
But I don’t wanna live in that shame
I’m tryin’ to fix these hands that point and blame
[male & female]
I crossed that line, I said your name
Like a weapon in a war that I can’t explain
So I’m takin’ back the hurt I gave
I’m tryin’ to fix myself and say your name the gentle way
[Verse 2]
[female]
You were paces in the hallway
I was shaking on the stair
Replay every single sentence
Like they’re carved in the air
Every “you” I heard was “always”
Every silence felt like stone
I was stackin’ old grudges
Into towers of my own
[male]
Then the echo went quiet
Breath slowed, lights dim
Saw your hands, still open
Even after my sin
Saw the fear in the corners
Of the room that we built
Heard my father in my mouth
Tasted metal, tasted guilt
[Pre-Chorus]
[female]
How did we get so loud, so fast
Talkin’ like the world would end, like this fight would last
But your eyes said “stay”
While your words ran wild
Can we walk this back
To the first soft smile
[Chorus]
[female]
I lost myself, I lost my way
Threw my love like it’s cheap, like it’s all just clay
But I don’t wanna live in that shame
I’m tryin’ to fix these hands that point and blame
[male & female]
I crossed that line, I said your name
Like a weapon in a war that I can’t explain
So I’m takin’ back the hurt I gave
I’m tryin’ to fix myself and say your name the gentle way
[Bridge]
[male]
I’m scared of the mirror
When I see what I became
But I’ll bleed out the ego
Just to carry back your pain
[female]
If you learn how to listen
I can learn how to trust
We can bury all the weapons
In the cracks of the dust
[male & female]
Can we promise when we’re angry
We don’t turn into flames
Call a timeout, take a breath
Don’t throw around names (hey)
[Chorus]
[female]
I lost myself, I lost my way
Threw my love like it’s cheap, like it’s all just clay
But I don’t wanna live in that shame
I’m tryin’ to fix these hands that point and blame
[male & female]
I crossed that line, I said your name
Like a weapon in a war that I can’t explain
So I’m learnin’ how to heal, not break
I’m tryin’ to fix myself and say your name the gentle way
[Outro]
[female]
Say your name the gentle way (ooh)
[male]
If I lose myself again
Help me find my name
