More Important Than Air

Phone in one hand, you in the other

She's talking but I don’t hear a word

You mouth “don’t hang up” like it’s a game

And I’d burn the world just to play along

Cigarette smoke curling between us

Your smile sharper than any blade I own

She asks if I’m cheating

I say “no one important”

But you raise a brow at me

And I’m silently begging forgiveness

You’re more important than air

More real than anything I pretend to be

Every lie I tell her

Is just another prayer to you

You’re the only truth

The only name that matters when I lose control

I watch you move like ritual

Every inch you take, I’m coming undone

My knuckles white, jaw clenched tight

Trying to keep the world from hearing

What you do to me in the shadows

How you own every breath I take

She’s asking questions through the static

But I’m drawing in your rhythm

My composure cracks splits

Your name escapes before I can stop it

You’re more important than air

More real than anything I pretend to be

Every lie I tell her

Is just another prayer to you

You’re the only truth

The only name that matters when I lose control

I watch you move like ritual

Every inch you take, I’m coming undone

I throw the phone across the room

Pull you close like gravity

Need you now, need to claim you properly

You’re my tattooed queen

My mark on your skin

My sanity and my ruin

You’re more important than air

More real than anything I pretend to be

Every lie I tell her

Is just another prayer to you

You're the only truth

The only name that matters when I lose control

She can wait, you’re my priority

Always been, Always have been, always will be

In this dangerous life I lead

You’re the only thing that’s mine
