Torn Between Loving And Leaving

[Verse 1]
You used to laugh loud in the rain
Now you hide your eyes in the mirror
Say you’re healing
Say you’re fine
But your hands still shake when I’m nearer
You wear his shadow like perfume
Even when you’re laid on my chest
Every time I call you beautiful
You treat it like a test
[Chorus]
I’m torn between loving and leaving
Holding you close while you’re leaving
You’re here in my arms
But you’re not really here
Girl
I feel you fading
Fading in fear
I’m torn between loving and leaving
Praying one day you start believing
You can’t forget the pain
But don’t forget who you used to be
[Verse 2]
You talk about the girl you were
Like somebody that died long ago
Say you ran barefoot through your dreams
Now you walk on eggshells slow
I kiss your scars
You count your sins
Say your heart is bad for my health
I keep saying “we” in every plan
You keep planning by yourself
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
If I let you go
Will you find yourself?
If I stay right here
Will you lose me too?
Baby
I’m scared of the day I wake
And I don’t recognize you
So I hold you tight
But my chest feels heavy
Dancing in circles
We both unsteady
Love you so deep that it’s hard to breathe
Tell me
Who do you wanna be?
[Chorus]
