If I could relax… In this with you I might survive it Too much wear on the fabric We keep sleeping in Thread count high but the trust thin You say, “nothing’s wrong” But your eyes buffering Like bad signal in a tunnel I don’t wanna control you I just don’t wanna be the last to know When the story changes If I could relax in this I’d stay I swear We wake up, make up Coffee tastes like apologies Counter full of almost-truths I keep little receipts in my head Not the words — the gaps Where something should’ve been You say I overthink But silence got a grammar too If I could relax in this relationship I would I swear But my nervous system remembers What my logic forgets You free if you want to be free I won’t chain the door I just need the map you’re using If you want someone else Say it clean Don’t make me discover it slowly I ain’t jealous I just hate surprise endings Got my sunglasses tinted Color: past tense Every future you promise Looks pre-bent Love shouldn’t feel like Forensics Dusting fingerprints Off moments If I could relax in this I’d love you lighter I swear If I could relax in this I’d meet you there I swear
