I clench the rail till my knuckles bloom I lock my jaw, I bite my tongue Into the dark I keep my grip You pull away like a room with no moon You hear my fear in the way I run Into the night You cut the line Too close, too fast, too far We tear like thread on a broken heart I feel the edges start to shake One more hold and we both break Holding on too tight, tight, tight I fight, fight, fight to stay alive Into the darkness of the night, night, night Stuck inside this hollow heart tonight Tight, tight, tight I can't let go Your name still rings in my clenched-up chest I wear your ghost like a second skin The mirror cracks when I say your name I want the fire, I want the sky Like a bent-up nail in a Sunday dress I say move on, but I let you in Every little love leaves a bruise the same But I hold on hard till the good runs dry Too close, too fast, too far We tear like thread on a broken heart I feel the edges start to shake One more hold and we both break If I loosen my hands, will you still stay? The walls all breathe in a purple haze If I say your name, will it pull you away? We were never built for a slow decay So take my grip Or let me go Holding on too tight, tight, tight I fight, fight, fight to stay alive Into the darkness of the night, night, night Stuck inside this hollow heart tonight Tight, tight, tight I can't let go Holding on too tight
