Contradiction

CONTRADICTION

[Verse 1]
You pull me close, then turn away
Say you want me, then make me pay
For every question, every doubt
You light the fire, then put it out

You tell me I’m the one you need
Then disappear when I start to believe
Your words are warm, your actions cold
A story changing as it’s told

[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep trying to make sense
Of every broken consequence
But love shouldn't feel like a crime
When I believe you every time

[Chorus]
You’re a contradiction
A beautiful addiction
You say one thing, do another
Call me yours, then treat me like a stranger
You give me heaven, leave me in the dark
You hold me close, then tear apart my heart
I keep searching for the truth
But every truth leads back to you
You’re a contradiction

[Verse 2]
You say you want something real
But run whenever you have to feel
You talk about tomorrow like it's ours
Then vanish for hours and hours

You want my body, want my mind
Want every piece you think you'll find
But when I ask for something true
Suddenly there's nothing left of you

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I'm not asking too much
Maybe I just recognize the difference
Between somebody saying they care
And somebody actually being there

[Bridge]
Maybe the contradiction isn't you
Maybe it's everything I hoped you'd be
I wanted your words to become truth
But your actions told me what I couldn't see

So keep your promises
Keep your pretty lies
I finally learned to listen
When your silence speaks louder than your eyes

[Final Chorus]
You’re a contradiction
But I broke the addiction
I don't need another promise
I don't need another almost
You can give me heaven
You can drag me through hell
But I know myself now
And I know you too well

I stopped searching for the truth
When I finally saw the truth in you
You’re a contradiction
And I’m walking away from the confusion

[Outro]
You said forever...
Then you let me go.
That's the contradiction.
Now I know.
