[Verse 1]
You talk like storms on a late-night line
Cheap red wine in a paper cup
Ashtray full and your keys still missing
Saying you’re done
But you never hang up
You laugh like you’re already leaving
Bare feet cold on a kitchen tile
You keep your coat on
Keep me waiting
Every promise tastes like denial
[Chorus]
If you’re gonna break
Then break on me
If you’re gonna run
Then run my street
If you’re gonna fall
Fall through my floorboards
Leave your heartbeat in these sheets
If you’re gonna use somebody
Use somebody like me
[Verse 2]
Headlights crawl on the bedroom ceiling
Same old song from the neighbor’s room
You trace your name in the dust on my dresser
Say you like the mess
Call it “living proof”
You swear you’re bad for my habits
I say you fit like a thrift store coat
Too big
Too worn
Still I grab it
When the air turns sharp in my throat
[Chorus]
If you’re gonna break
Then break on me
If you’re gonna run
Then run my street
If you’re gonna fall
Fall through my floorboards
Leave your heartbeat in these sheets
If you’re gonna use somebody
Use somebody like me
[Bridge]
Turn me into your late train home (hey)
Your lost receipt
Your safety smoke
Your torn-up note in a jacket sleeve
Every excuse you half-believe
Wear me thin
Then wear me out
I’ll still come when you call me now
One more night in your borrowed skin
Let the morning figure it out
[Chorus]
If you’re gonna break
Then break on me
If you’re gonna run
Then run my street
If you’re gonna fall
Fall through my floorboards
Leave your heartbeat in these sheets
If you’re gonna use somebody
Use somebody like me
Use somebody like me (oh)
If you’re gonna use somebody
Use somebody like me
