[Verse 1]
You say you tired of the arguing
Scroll through our texts like a timeline
All of these half-sent messages
Feel like landmines
You pack your fears in a carry-on
Leave all your clothes in my bedroom
Every “I’m done” like a quiet storm
Still hanging in the air, still in the room
[Chorus]
Keep us apart, you keep us apart
Say you need space, but you sleep in my heart
Pushing me away, then you pull me in harder
You say you letting go, but you just go farther
Keep us apart, yeah, you keep us apart
Act like you cold, but you burn in the dark
If you gon’ break it, then break it wide open
Stop taking my love if you ain’t staying, you just
Keep us apart
[Verse 2]
You hit my phone when it’s 3 a.m.
Need me to calm down your chaos
You only love me in whispers, yeah
Daylight, you take that payoff
You call it “open,” I call it “closed”
Door only swings when you want it
You sip my trust like it’s just a shot
Say “one last time,” then you double it (yeah)
[Chorus]
Keep us apart, you keep us apart
Say you need space, but you sleep in my heart
Pushing me away, then you pull me in harder
You say you letting go, but you just go farther
Keep us apart, yeah, you keep us apart
Act like you cold, but you burn in the dark
If you gon’ break it, then break it wide open
Stop taking my love if you ain’t staying, you just
Keep us apart
[Bridge]
Taking it, taking it, piece by piece (hey!)
All of my peace and my history
You want the rush, never pay the fee
So why am I the one who bleeds?
Taking it, taking it, all my time
Every “it’s fine” just another lie
If this is love, it’s a crooked line
So I’m walking off it this time (this time)
[Chorus]
Keep us apart, you keep us apart
Say you need space, but you sleep in my heart
Pushing me away, then you pull me in harder
You say you letting go, but you just go farther
Keep us apart, yeah, you keep us apart
Act like you cold, but you burn in the dark
If you gon’ leave, then don’t leave me open
Stop taking my love if you ain’t staying, you just
Keep us apart
