[Verse 1]
I was talkin’ like a stranger
Same mouth, brand new anger
Every word a little dagger
Throwin’ blame like it mattered
You were standin’ in the doorway
Eyes wet, but you stayed
I was swingin’ at the silence
Turned the room into a cage
[Pre-Chorus]
Why’d I go that far?
You just took my scars
Held my shaking hands
But I still pulled apart
Now I’m sittin’ in the dark
Rewinding every part
Hear my echo in the walls
Tearin’ us apart
[Chorus]
I lost myself inside the fight
Said things I can’t defend tonight
I burned you just to feel alive
Then watched your heartbeat hide
Now I’m pickin’ up the pieces of my pride
Learning how to bleed and still be kind
I’m crawling back to my senses
Crawling back to my senses
[Verse 2]
You ain’t textin’ like you used to
Short words, long distance
I can taste the hesitation
In every little sentence
I keep drafting my apologies
Then deleting all the noise
Tryna say I hate my actions
But I never hated your voice
[Pre-Chorus]
I was scared you’d see
Every crack in me
So I built that rage
Just to feel like steel
Now I’m facin’ what I did
All the hurt I hid
Tryna be the kind of person
You believed I could be
[Chorus]
I lost myself inside the fight
Said things I can’t defend tonight
I burned you just to feel alive
Then watched your heartbeat hide
Now I’m pickin’ up the pieces of my pride
Learning how to bleed and still be kind
I’m crawling back to my senses
Crawling back to my senses
[Bridge]
If you never take me back
I still gotta change my path
Break this habit, break this mask
Face the mirror I attack
This ain’t just about us
It’s about my own trust
Can I look myself in the eye
When the anger turns to dust? (yeah)
[Chorus]
I lost myself inside the fight
Said things I can’t defend tonight
I burned you just to feel alive
Then watched your heartbeat hide
Now I’m pickin’ up the pieces of my pride
Learning how to bleed and still be kind
I’m crawling back to my senses
Crawling back to my senses
