[Verse 1] You never write back My pages arrived like open veins You never write back No brighter fool has ever begged [Pre-Chorus] I’d call you lover if you’d let the word escape I’d call you lover, but silence is your favorite shape Still, I want you [Chorus] A loaded hush Is waiting on your mouth A loaded hush Could pull us close enough to drown You won’t say my name in any tender key You won’t say my name — those words are currency [Verse 2] I wanted too much My hunger never moved the stars I want you to fall, beautiful and scarred Like every idol does when it burns too hard I hate to drag you down God, I hate to drag you down [Verse 3] Empty trails Cut sharper than confessions Empty trails Like smoke after the weapon Inside your lover, the whole world rearranges Inside your lover, I’d rewrite both our names [Chorus] I wanted too much My hunger never moved the stars I want you to fall, beautiful and scarred
