[Verse 1] You say you're done Swore off the word "forever" Swore off the word "mine" Still you’re tracing hearts in the margins Two faces in the same thin line When I call, you answer But you never say my name too loud You laugh, then you change the subject Like you’re scared of the sound [Pre-Chorus] Your friends keep talking like they know the script But they’ve only read half the page They tell you, "Wait till you’re ready again" How do you wait this way? [Chorus] You’re torn between a ghost and a heartbeat Two hands reaching in the dark You’re scared to choose, ‘cause choosing Means you’re cutting one apart You say, "I’m done with love" While you’re drowning in the proof If you’re afraid to lose somebody Tell me, am I somebody to lose? (yeah, am I somebody to lose?) [Verse 2] You say you’re broken Point at all your scattered pieces Like they’re reasons I should run But I’ve held them in my pockets I know the weight of every one You talk about her in the daylight You talk about me past two a.m. They don’t see the way you look right through me When you say, "We’re just friends" [Pre-Chorus] Advice keeps coming in little lines From people who don’t see it all They’re talking ‘bout a half-truth version Of the name you never call [Chorus] You’re torn between a ghost and a heartbeat Two hands reaching in the dark You’re scared to choose, ‘cause choosing Means you’re cutting one apart You say, "I’m done with love" While you’re drowning in the proof If you’re afraid to lose somebody Tell me, am I somebody to lose? (oh, am I somebody to lose?) [Bridge] You say, "It’s not fair, I’ll hurt someone" Like hurt ain’t already here I’m lying on your bedroom floor Counting every quiet fear If someday you wake up certain And my name is not the one Will you tell me face to face Or let it ring out on your tongue? [Chorus] You’re torn between a ghost and a heartbeat Two hands reaching in the dark You’re scared to choose, ‘cause choosing Means you’re cutting one apart You say, "I’m done with love" But we both know that’s not true If you’re afraid to lose somebody Then someday you’ll have to choose And if I’m the one you’re losing Promise you’ll tell me the truth Yeah, if I’m the one you’re losing At least I was somebody to lose (hey)
