[Verse 1] I keep my promise tight Then I pull it apart You hold me like a hand I still keep a guard You know I care for you You know I really do But when it gets too close I turn into a bruise [Pre-Chorus] I want to stay I want to stay But something in me runs away I try to hold I try to hold Then I let my own hands go [Chorus] I’m split between us (split between us) I want your love But I lose my trust I’m split between us (split between us) I care too hard Then I back up fast [Verse 2] You read me like a page That I left half torn I say I’m here for you Then I leave the door It’s not that you’re too much It’s not that you’re not enough I just got scars on my tongue And they show up when I’m touched [Pre-Chorus] I want to stay I want to stay But something in me runs away I try to hold I try to hold Then I let my own hands go [Chorus] I’m split between us (split between us) I want your love But I lose my trust I’m split between us (split between us) I care too hard Then I back up fast [Bridge] Maybe I fear the loss More than I fear the lie Maybe I cut the rope Before it can ever tie If you can wait on me I’ll learn how to stay I’m tired of loving Then slipping away [Final Chorus] I’m split between us (split between us) I want your love But I lose my trust I’m split between us (split between us) I care too hard Then I back up fast I’m split between us (split between us) I want to choose What I almost had
