[Verse 1] Heartbreak on my tongue, I can taste it Scrolling through the damage that we left, I can’t erase it You said, “We’re forever,” in the dark, you were persuasive Now I’m staring at the ceiling, every memory invasive Cold hands, but my phone runs hot Keep typing, then I backspace the plot All caps on the thoughts I fought Why we only tell the truth when we’re caught? (yeah) [Pre-Chorus] You call, then you vanish You mend, then you manage To twist what you planned and Leave me in the wreckage I’m done being quiet Done staying silent If loving you’s a riot I’m stepping out the sirens [Chorus] I got lightning in my lungs when I breathe your name But you only ever show when it starts to rain You keep pulling on the thread in my favorite dress Now I’m torn, now I’m worn, static in my chest You’re the high, you’re the crash that I can’t forget Every promise that you broke is a silhouette I’ve been drowning in the noise, yeah, I must confess You’re the echo in my bones, static in my chest (in my chest) [Verse 2] Yeah, you love when I break, call it “character growth” Say it’s “all in my head,” but you’re steering us both Gaslight with a grin, then you ghost in a note “I just need a little space” — yeah, I read what you wrote I was bending ‘til I snapped in the quiet of my room Played your voice on repeat like a prophecy of doom Turned my pain into power, now I’m clearing out the fumes If you’re waiting on my call, don’t assume, don’t assume (hey!) [Pre-Chorus] You call, then you vanish You mend, then you manage To twist what you planned and Leave me in the wreckage I’m done being quiet Done staying silent If loving you’s a riot I’m stepping out the sirens [Chorus] I got lightning in my lungs when I breathe your name But you only ever show when it starts to rain You keep pulling on the thread in my favorite dress Now I’m torn, now I’m worn, static in my chest You’re the high, you’re the crash that I can’t forget Every promise that you broke is a silhouette I’ve been drowning in the noise, yeah, I must confess You’re the echo in my bones, static in my chest (static in my chest) [Bridge] Pulse in the dark, just a thud, just a thud All that we were dripping out like blood You were my rush, my rush, my rush But look at me now — I’m enough, I’m enough [Chorus] I got lightning in my lungs when I say my name I don’t need another storm just to feel the flame I’m not sewing up the seams of your careless mess I’m alive, I survive, fire in my chest You’re the past, just a ghost that I won’t reset Every scar that you gave turned to armor, yeah I was drowning in the noise, now I confess You’re a whisper in the wind, I’m the roaring in my chest (oh-oh)
