[Intro] [soft, distant guitar arpeggios, hats ticking in the dark] [Verse 1] You text back slow Heart rate fast Said you'd call Then you laugh, let it pass I bled out favors On your floor You kept the halo Locked the door I was buying rings in my head You were in his bed Scrolling through the pictures While I'm begging to be read Every promise that you made Came printed on a blade Cutting through the faith That I laid, unafraid [Chorus] I would die for you anyway Even though you threw my name away Set myself on fire just to keep you safe You don't feel a thing Not a thing, not a trace I would die for you anyway You just watch me fade to gray Every scar I wear still spells your name You broke every vow But I'd crawl back the same [Verse 2] You said, "You're crazy You think too deep" But you took my secrets You don't lose sleep Got your lipstick On his seat While I'm tracing Where we meet I was in the mirror Practicing a smile You were at the party Letting him stay awhile I'm the one you call When the games go wrong You hang up, run back To your favorite song [Chorus] I would die for you anyway Even though you threw my name away Set myself on fire just to keep you safe You don't feel a thing Not a thing, not a trace I would die for you anyway You just watch me fade to gray Every scar I wear still spells your name You broke every vow But I'd crawl back the same [Bridge] [drums drop to toms, guitar solo claws in underneath] You said forever With someone else in mind I read the warning Then signed the dotted line (yeah, I signed it) You twist the knife Then ask if I'm okay I choke on truth And say I'm fine anyway (I'm fine) You take and take And I still stay You walk away I beg you, "Stay" [Outro] I would die for you anyway (anyway) Even as you turn and walk away Cut me down and still I take the blame Say it's all my fault Just to keep your name I would die for you anyway (oh, I'd die) Even while you curse my wasted faith Burning in a house you set ablaze You don't love me back But I'd die for you anyway
