Verse 1
I walked in, you were heaven on a mattress
Halo glow with a little bit of madness
Looked at me like trouble I should try
But I knew one touch and I’d kiss my life goodbye
You were danger in designer skin
One more step and I’d be all in
My heart was promised somewhere else
So I ran from you to save myself
Pre-Chorus
Tears on the drive home
Radio too loud
If I let you hold me
I’d never turn around
Chorus
You were my fight or flight
My almost, my might-have-been
The fire I couldn’t light
Without burning everything
I tried to shut my eyes
But you were living in my head
You were my biggest sin
In a white-sheet bed
⸻
Verse 2
Years rolled by, but you never faded
More than one, but never complicated
There was depth behind that grin
Warmth I swore I wouldn’t fall in
Ten minute talks felt like secret dates
My world froze while the rest would wait
I’d play it cool, say you’re not my type
But I was dreaming you every night
Pre-Chorus
Smiling like it’s nothing
Acting like I’m fine
But every little moment
Was replaying in my mind
Chorus
You were my fight or flight
My almost, my might-have-been
The fire I couldn’t light
Without burning everything
I tried to shut my eyes
But you were living in my head
You were my biggest sin
In a white-sheet bed
⸻
Bridge (big emotional 2003 pop moment)
Then boom — my chance
Wrong place, wrong dance
Lipstick, heartbreak, pizza on my face
Funny how timing plays
One year of chaos
Pain turned into truth
I never needed space
When I was next to you
You watched me move
I didn’t feel exposed
For the first time ever
I felt like I was home
But your hands let go
While your eyes said stay
Your body said leave
But your soul betrayed
⸻
Breakdown (soft)
Days to weeks
Weeks to months
Still standing at your gate
Still undone
They paint you black
Like I don’t know
But we both know
What we own
⸻
Final Chorus (bigger)
You’re still my fight or flight
My never-got-it-right
The love I couldn’t fight
Even when I tried
I should walk away
After all we’ve done
But I can’t erase
You’re the one I can’t outrun
⸻
Outro (soft, intimate)
Can we say hi
Like strangers do
Like we don’t know
What we’ve been through
Reset the flame
Let it begin
Like two old souls
Finding each other again
