[Verse 1]
Saw you outside of the bar again
Eyes on the ground
Sleeves down in the rain
You laughed it off
Said
"I'm fine
It's alright"
But I saw the fingerprints in plain sight
You change the subject when I say his name
You call it love
I just call it pain
You say he promised that he'll never do it twice
But I keep counting every new excuse you buy
[Chorus]
If she only gave me a chance
I would hold those shaking hands
I would be the quiet place
Where the bruises never land
If she only looked my way
Saw the future we could have
She'd know love is not an apology
After every heavy hand
[Verse 2]
He’s got your phone
All your passwords too
Tells you your friends are bad news
You say he's jealous 'cause he cares so much
I'm watching you disappear under his touch
Midnight calls when he kicks you out
You crash on my couch
Then you talk yourself around
"He's gonna change
He was just so stressed"
But broken promises don't heal a broken chest
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
How many doors slammed
How many plates thrown
How many times can a heart
Tell itself it’s home
You say you’re scared to leave
I’m scared you’ll stay
'Cause every time he swings
Takes more of you away
[Chorus]
