[Verse 1]
Every room I walk in
Smells like bridges burned
Shards of what I promised
Glitter where it hurts
You said
"You’re getting better"
I carved it in my teeth
Then I bit down on the lie
’til my gums began to bleed
[Chorus]
I’ll bury heart
Before it buries me
Dig the hole deeper
So I can’t feel a thing
I tear apart
Everyone I keep
I’ll bury heart
’cause love’s not safe with me
[Verse 2]
You held out your shaking hands
I filled them up with ash
Called it "all I have to give"
Watched it slipping through the cracks
Every "I’m so sorry"
Just another sharpened nail
I hammer into both of us
To prove I had to fail
[Chorus]
I’ll bury heart
Before it buries me
Dig the hole deeper
So I can’t feel a thing
I tear apart
Everyone I keep
I’ll bury heart
’cause love’s not safe with me
[Bridge]
I’m the stain on the family photo (hey!)
I’m the crack in your favorite cup
Every time you try to hold me
I just cut
I just cut
Put the dirt in my open mouth
Stack the stones on my chest and throat
If I choke on my own silence
Maybe you can finally go
[Chorus]
I’ll bury heart
Before it buries me
Dig the hole deeper
So I can’t feel a thing
I tear apart
Everyone I keep
I’ll bury heart
’cause love’s not safe with me
[Outro]
So don’t come close
Don’t say my name
I break what’s good
Then drown in shame
I’ll bury heart
You walk away
I hurt everyone I love
I’m the one I’ll never save
