[Verse 1]
You were home like the ocean
I was swimming in your calm
Never thought about the surface
Never thought you'd do me harm
You were all around my breathing
In my eyes
In every line
I was floating in your favor
Thought your currents were mine
[Chorus]
Now I watch you in the fire
Salt on your side while you burn my trust
Like water helping cook the one it kept alive
What did I miss in the silence?
How did I drown in a love like this?
If fish can fry in the arms of what it needs
I believe betrayal exists
[Verse 2]
You were pouring out comfort
On my shoulder
On my doubt
Whispered
"I would never hurt you"
While you figured a way out
Set the table with your stories
Laid me gentle on the plate
Smiled sweet over the candles
While you seasoned up my fate
[Chorus]
Now I watch you in the fire
Salt on your side while you burn my trust
Like water helping cook the one it kept alive
What did I miss in the silence?
How did I drown in a love like this?
If fish can fry in the arms of what it needs
I believe betrayal exists
[Bridge]
Maybe love is just a kitchen
Heat and hunger
Faith and fear
You were steam on every window
Till you disappeared
If the thing that keeps you breathing
Can be the thing that twists the knife (oh)
How am I supposed to trust
Anything that says it's life?
[Chorus]
Now I watch you in the fire
Salt on your side while you burn my trust
Like water helping cook the one it kept alive
What did I miss in the silence?
How did I drown in a love like this?
If fish can fry in the arms of what it needs
I believe betrayal exists (yeah)
If fish can fry in the arms of what it needs
I believe betrayal exists
