[Verse 1] You speak in silence louder than words Turnin’ your back just to see if it hurts You say you’re here, but you’re halfway gone Holdin’ my breath while you drag it on [Pre-Chorus] And I pretend it’s fine, like I always do But my chest gets tight when I look at you You want fire, you want peace You want space, but you want me [Chorus] [Fortissimo] So why do we keep this tension? Pullin’ tight with no direction Every kiss feels like a question Do you want me, or the attention? And I—I try to hold the line But we break it every time We’re tangled in this fiction Why do we keep this tension? [Verse 2] You play it cool when it’s turning cold Say I’m too much, then you want control I wear the weight just to feel your touch Why do I love you this much? [Pre-Chorus] I let it slide again, you don’t even see You keep loving what you want from me It’s push, then pull It’s sweet, then cruel [Chorus] [Fortissimo] So why do we keep this tension? Pullin’ tight with no direction Every look feels like a weapon Is it love or just obsession? And I—I try to read your mind But it’s static every time We’re caught in contradiction Why do we keep this tension? [Bridge – Soft to Intense Build] (Mm-mm) I don’t wanna fight But I can’t stay quiet (Why you act so sure?) Then leave me in doubt (Mm-mm) I don’t wanna lose But I already bruise When you hold me just to Push me down [Final Chorus – Slower, Airy at Start, then Lifts] Why do we keep this tension? (Why, why?) Two hearts in misdirection You say love with no affection Then turn cold like it’s protection And I—I’ve been losing sleep Over promises we keep But never have intention Why do we keep this tension?
