THREE IN THIS RELATIONSHIP [Verse 1] We used to fit together perfectly, Two hearts beating in the same room, Making promises at midnight, Thinking forever would come soon. Then something changed between us, Something neither one could see, There was always someone waiting, And suddenly there were three. [Pre-Chorus] It never knocks, it never leaves, It knows exactly what you need, It finds you when you’re hurting And convinces you to believe. [Chorus] There are three of us in this relationship, Me, you, and the thing you can’t resist. It doesn’t kiss you, doesn’t hold you, But somehow I keep losing you to it. It promises to make the pain disappear, Then leaves you drowning in another year. I can love you with everything I’ve got, But I can’t compete with something That won’t let you stop. [Verse 2] I’ve watched you disappear in front of me, While your body stayed right here, I’ve learned to read the silence, I’ve memorized the signs of fear. You say, “This time will be different,” And I want so badly to believe, But every time you choose that escape, You take another piece of me. [Pre-Chorus] And maybe you don’t even see What it’s doing to you and me, Because addiction doesn’t need permission It just needs a little weakness to breathe. [Chorus] There are three of us in this relationship, Me, you, and the thing you can’t resist. It doesn’t kiss you, doesn’t hold you, But somehow I keep losing you to it. It promises to make the pain disappear, Then leaves you drowning in another year. I can love you with everything I’ve got, But I can’t compete with something That won’t let you stop. [Bridge] I won’t call you broken, I won’t call you lost, But love has consequences When we’re counting up the cost. You don’t have to choose me Because I’m standing at the door You have to choose yourself If you want us anymore. [Final Chorus] There are three of us in this relationship, But I don’t want three I want you and me. I want the person underneath Everything you’re fighting to be. So if you’re ready to let it go, I’ll meet you somewhere in the light. But I can’t keep sharing the person I love With something that keeps stealing their life. [Outro] Three in this relationship… Two hearts trying to survive. One addiction in the middle, Deciding who gets left alive. And maybe love can’t save you But choosing to change might. Because sometimes the hardest goodbye Is the one that gives you back your life.
