[Verse 1] You got that look again Like the room went red Sayin' sharp little things That you can't take back I know that fire in you It don't mean you don't care It just burns through your mouth When it's too much in there [Pre-Chorus] So don't push, don't poke Let the air go still Give it a minute, baby Let the tension spill If I stay too close We both might break And words hit hard When they shake the gate [Chorus] Cool off first, cool off first Let it fade, let it hurt Cool off first, cool off first Don't make it worse Cool off first, cool off first Give your heart some room We can talk when the storm Stops breathing through the room [Verse 2] I seen good love get bruised By a one-sentence crash Seen somebody mean it soft Then regret it fast So I step back slow Let the silence do its work 'Cause a cornered heart Can bite before it hurts [Pre-Chorus] So don't push, don't poke Let the air go still Give it a minute, baby Let the tension spill If I stay too close We both might break And words hit hard When they shake the gate [Chorus] Cool off first, cool off first Let it fade, let it hurt Cool off first, cool off first Don't make it worse Cool off first, cool off first Give your heart some room We can talk when the storm Stops breathing through the room [Bridge] I don't need a win I need you intact Need your hands unclenched Need your voice back If I chase your shadow You might swing wild So I love you better By lettin' you ride it out [Chorus] Cool off first, cool off first Let it fade, let it hurt Cool off first, cool off first Don't make it worse Cool off first, cool off first Give your heart some room We can talk when the storm Stops breathing through the room
