Intro Yeah… I don’t think you meant to. That’s the problem. Hook Fallin’ for you fucked up my knees Beggin’ you to stay like pulling teeth Started as a paper cut to me, so I Didn’t know how much I’d bleed Catching every knife you threw at me While you thought you threw confetti Started as a paper cut to me, so I Didn’t know how much I’d bleed Verse Losing color in my face, I look sick, you don’t notice I’m exhausted, you’re floating, I’m a ghost and you’re golden Puddles on the floor, you step over ‘em like they’re roses Like my pain’s just a mood, like my blood’s just an ocean I keep thinking you’ll turn around and finally see it But you don’t even look back, you just leave and I eat it You don’t swing with your fists, you just talk like you mean it Then you vanish when it’s real and I’m stuck trying to keep it And I hate that I defend you Like “they didn’t mean to,” like intent is what heals you Like you didn’t leave me cracked, like you didn’t rearrange me Like you didn’t make a home in my chest just to change me You’re careful with your heart, I’m careless with mine I let you in the dark, you let me in the light You like me when I’m fun, when I’m soft, when I’m fine Then you go cold and I’m the one who’s “too intense,” right? Pre-Chorus Nothing could’ve prepared me For soft hands leaving scars Hook Fallin’ for you fucked up my knees… Verse If I could, I’d go back Before the “what are we?” Before the late-night texts Before you felt like oxygen to me Before I started calling it love Just ‘cause it felt like a rush Before the high wore off And your lies hit like a full-body buzz ‘Cause you don’t even lie like a villain You lie like a person who’s scared of commitment You say “I care” then disappear when I need it Then come back like nothing happened... I’m bleeding, you’re breathing You don’t know what you’re doing But you do it so clean Like you’re washing your hands While you’re still holding the knife in the sink And I’m over here shaking Trying to swallow the truth That you’re not evil, you’re just… Not built to be careful with someone like me, are you? I’m the type that attaches The type that remembers The type that replays every word like a weapon The type that forgives, then forgives, then forgives ‘Til forgiveness turns into a habit And you’re the type that feels it Then fears it Then flees it Then calls it “timing” Like my heart’s not in pieces Pre-Chorus Nothing could’ve prepared me For loving someone careless Hook Fallin’ for you fucked up my knees… Bridge You don’t hit me You don’t scream You don’t cheat You don’t chase You just leave me in the quiet And that’s the part that breaks ‘Cause I can’t even hate you I can’t even blame you I just watch you walk away And I’m mad that I still crave you And you’ll say “I’m sorry” Like sorry is a tourniquet Like sorry stops the bleeding Like sorry means you won’t do it again But you will. Not because you’re cruel. Because you don’t feel the weight… Of what you do. Final Hook Fallin’ for you fucked up my knees Beggin’ you to stay like pulling teeth Started as a paper cut to me, so I Didn’t know how much I’d bleed Catching every knife you threw at me And you swear you never meant it Started as a paper cut to me, so I Didn’t know how much I’d bleed Outro You don’t know how sharp you are… When you don’t mean it.
