[Verse 1] You cracked my phone on the kitchen floor I tore your favorite jacket at the door We talk like strangers on the warpath Hurling every secret that we can’t take back [Pre-Chorus] Glass on the counter Silence in the sink You’re shaking, I’m shouting We’re closer than we think [Chorus] We say, “I’ll never hurt you like that again” Crying on the mattress, swearing we’ll stay friends Tracing all the scars in fluorescent morning Kissing every bruise like a brand new warning We say, “I’ll never hurt you like that again” But we both know We both know it’s a lie by ten [Verse 2] You rip my letters from the bottom drawer I burn your birthday card out on the porch We pull our love apart like threads Then sleep on opposite sides of the same bed [Pre-Chorus] Names like knives Thrown across the room Then soft apologies In the afternoon [Chorus] We say, “I’ll never hurt you like that again” Crying on the mattress, swearing we’ll stay friends Tracing all the scars in fluorescent morning Kissing every bruise like a brand new warning We say, “I’ll never hurt you like that again” But we both know We both know it’s a lie by ten [Bridge] [Drop to almost spoken] You’re in the doorway, hands up, “I’m sorry” (I’m sorry) I’m on the carpet, laughing through the tears We write our promises in smoke and coffee They fade by lunch, they vanish by the beers [Chorus] We say, “I’ll never hurt you like that again” Crying on the mattress, swearing we’ll stay friends Tracing all the scars in fluorescent morning Kissing every bruise like a brand new warning We say, “I’ll never hurt you like that again” But we both know Yeah, we both know it starts Again by evening
