I was counting notches Names saved as "don't call" Laughing in the backseat Leaving hearts in free-fall Treated touch like tokens Threw truth on the floor Every "sorry" scripted Already at the next door But your face in the doorway Hit me like a crash Every filthy secret Flashing back Back Back I see what I’ve broken All the ghosts I made If I lay it in your hands Could I change? So I beg for love Both knees on the bedroom tile Phone face down My past on trial I beg for love Take my keys Take every lie Empty pockets Empty pride I got nothing left to prove If it’s not you I beg for love From you From you Used to wake up strangers Never learned their dreams Left my jacket on a chair Left my soul in the seams You saw through the swagger Called my damage by name Didn’t flinch at the ugly Didn’t laugh at the shame Now your tears in the bathroom Cut me like a blade Every joke I ever told Feels like a raid Pulled the mask right off me Threw it in the sink If I burn the old me down Would you stay and breathe? Here’s my passwords Here’s my scars Here’s the maps To all the bars Here’s the numbers I should’ve erased Hit delete Watch ’em fade Here’s the mouth that lied Let it learn your name Here’s the hands that wandered Let ’em stay Let ’em stay I don’t want another body I just want your eyes Promise you a quiet heart If you give me one more try
