Almost Stayed

[Intro] I almost stayed… But I know your game [Verse 1] You touch me like a memory Of something I don’t need Every word you try to sell Sounds like heaven, feels like hell You pull me close, then disappear Like love is built on fear I used to call that chemistry Now I call it what it is [Pre-Chorus] I see the fire in your hands But I won’t burn again [Chorus – HOOK] You don’t get to break me anymore I’ve been here, I’ve felt this before I won’t lose myself just to feel Something that was never real You don’t get to call me “yours” Not the way you did before I know it hurts, I feel it too But I’m not made to fall for you [Verse 2] You say “stay”, I hear control Like I’m something you can hold Every silence, every lie Used to keep me by your side I see the truth inside your kiss No more dressing pain as bliss And even if I feel the pull I won’t answer when you call [Pre-Chorus] I hear your voice inside my head But I choose mine instead [Chorus – HOOK] You don’t get to break me anymore I’ve been here, I’ve felt this before I won’t lose myself just to feel Something that was never real You don’t get to call me “yours” Not the way you did before I know it hurts, I feel it too But I’m not made to fall for you [Bridge – émotion / libération] Maybe love shouldn’t leave scars Maybe I forgot who I was But I’m learning how to breathe Without you inside of me [Final Chorus – plus fort] You don’t get to break me anymore I’ve been here, I’ve closed that door I won’t lose myself again Just to feel a little pain I know it hurts, I let it go Even if I miss you so I’m not the girl I was before You don’t get to break me anymore
