You counted every little scar, Said they only made me art. You wore my worries on your sleeve, Before I even got to speak. You called me home, you called me fate, Like I could never walk away. You loved me more than I could breathe… And that was slowly killing me. You gave me all of you to keep, But all that weight was crushing me. You loved me loud, I needed light, You held on hard, I held on tight. You kissed the tears before they’d fall, Until I couldn’t feel at all. You gave me everything you had, And somehow that’s what hurt the bad. If love is kind, then tell me why I lost myself just staying by your side. You counted every little scar, Said they only made me art. You wore my worries on your sleeve, Before I even got to speak. You called me home, you called me fate, Like I could never walk away. You loved me more than I could breathe… And that was slowly killing me. I know you never meant me harm, Your heart was only open arms. But every time you pulled me near, There was a little less of me here. You weren’t a storm, you weren’t a flame, But I still drowned inside your name. You loved me loud, I needed space, I couldn’t keep your perfect faith. You saw forever in my eyes, I only saw the fear of time. You gave me everything you knew, Until there wasn’t room for two. I didn’t leave because love died… I left because yours swallowed mine. You loved me… More than I could hold. You loved me… Until I let you go. You loved me… I wish that wasn’t true. ’Cause maybe loving me Was what broke you.
