[Verse 1] The credits start too early I’m still standing in the rain With a sentence in my throat That keeps turning into your name The streetlights blur to halos The last train pulls apart I had the whole thing ready Till it sounded like a scar [Pre-Chorus] And I know it’s only timing I know it’s only fear But every quiet ending Keeps bringing me back here I could call it nothing I could let the moment pass But your face is in the silence And I don’t know how to ask [Chorus] Confession arc I almost told you in the dark Every version of the ending Has me standing where you are Confession arc What am I allowed to want? If I say it, I might lose you But I might break if I don’t [Verse 2] I keep rewriting messages Then letting them go cold Like if I make the words softer They’ll be safer to hold You were kind in the doorway Like kindness couldn’t kill And I smiled like I was normal While my whole chest went still [Pre-Chorus] Maybe this is just a feeling Maybe feelings fade with time Maybe I can call it weather If I never call it mine But I have loved the almost Like a place I can’t leave And every time I turn away It follows after me [Chorus] Confession arc I almost told you in the dark Every version of the ending Has me standing where you are Confession arc What am I allowed to want? If I say it, I might lose you But I might break if I don’t [Bridge] There’s a world where I say it And you look at me the same There’s a world where you are gentle And it hurts more than blame There’s a world where nothing happens Just a pause I can’t undo There’s a world where I keep quiet And become the ghost of you I don’t want a perfect answer I don’t need the sky to part I just want to stop pretending This isn’t in my heart [Final Chorus] Confession arc I almost told you in the dark Every version of the ending Has me standing where you are Confession arc What am I allowed to want? If I say it, I might lose you But I might break if I don’t Confession arc The fireworks die behind the park Nothing changes, nothing leaves me Nothing teaches me to start [Outro] The credits roll without me The train is only sound I keep your name inside my mouth And never let it out
