What You Are

[Verse 1] I knew the ending from the start, I gave you my unguarded heart, I read the danger, no surprise, I recognize your sweetest lies, you offer less and take much more, and that's the ache I'm living for, I hold inside my own goodbyes, and trade my truth for all your lies. [Pre-Chorus] I'm wide awake, not blind, now I've made up my mind, the fear is always here, I choose you, loud and clear. [Chorus] I know exactly what you are, I trace the damage, every scar, and still I never walk away, I look you in the eye and stay. [Verse 2] You disappear and then you call, you watch me catch you when you fall, I sense you'll turn on me someday, but I keep loving anyway, you say the words you barely mean, the calmest cruelty I've seen, I let you have the final say, and I just need you anyway. [Chorus] I know exactly what you are, I trace the damage, every scar, and still I never walk away, I look you in the eye and stay. [Bridge] Call me a fool, I weighed the cost, I'd rather break than end up lost, nobody gets how this all feels, to want the thing that never heals. [Chorus] I know exactly what you are, I trace the damage, every scar, and still I never walk away, I look you in the eye and stay.
