[Intro] I keep the lights low I keep the door locked I keep the rules the same [Verse 1] You arrive like a confession I already know by heart Hands open, eyes closed, ready for the part Where I turn every softness into something that scars And you still step closer, like the bruises are art I write our names in the places that never heal You read them back to me like they still feel real There’s a kind of devotion that only exists When one of us is bleeding and the other pretends it fits [Pre-Chorus] Somewhere the air got thinner Somewhere the night got colder I keep choosing the wound You keep choosing the holder [Chorus] I made loving you a fight club Only come around when the lights cut No one wins, we just leave with cuts But you still show up when I call up I made loving you a fight club I can’t win but I never shut up You’re the only one who knows what’s up And you still let me throw the first punch [Verse 2] I leave purple on the places you try to hide You leave silence in the places I used to cry We trade the same three words until they taste like rust Then we start the round again like we both forgot the cost I say “I’m fine” with my fists already clenched You say “I’m here” like it’s never been a sentence There’s a kind of mercy that only shows its face When one of us is breaking and the other stays in place [Pre-Chorus] Somewhere the atoms stopped caring Somewhere the floor got closer I keep choosing the fall You keep choosing the softer [Chorus] I made loving you a fight club Only come around when the lights cut No one wins, we just leave with cuts But you still show up when I call up I made loving you a fight club I can’t win but I never shut up You’re the only one who knows what’s up And you still let me throw the first punch [Bridge] You never asked for the ring You never asked for the rules You just kept showing up With your hands already bruised I don’t know how to love you gentle I only know how to love you true And true, for me, still looks like Something that leaves a mark on you Breakdown] FIRST RULE (you don’t talk about it) SECOND RULE (you don’t talk about it) THIRD RULE (if someone taps out—) I NEVER TAP OUT [Final Chorus] I made loving you a fight club Only come around when the lights cut No one wins, we just leave with cuts But you still show up when I call up I made loving you a fight club I can’t win but I never shut up You’re the only one who knows what’s up And you still let me throw the first punch [Outro] Keep the lights low Keep the door locked Keep the rules the same I’ll see you tomorrow night
