I’m buying books on broken hearts Lighting candles in the dark Trying every little remedy Just to get you back to me You say, “Baby, nothing’s wrong” But silence lasts for days too long Every time I try to speak You call it weakness, call me weak Pre-Chorus I bend, I break You disappear when things get hard Then come back like nothing changed While I’m counting scars Chorus You only love me when it fits your mood When the timing’s right for you And if I cry, I’m “too intense” If I need you, I’m “too sensitive” I’m over here trying to save the flame While you act like there’s no smoke, no pain You say I’m making problems out of nothing But loving you feels like slowly drowning Verse 2 I learned your favorite ways to heal Read about attachment, how to feel Tried soft words, tried space, tried prayer But you only meet me halfway there You want love without the weight Without the talks, without the blame But every wound you leave untouched Still bleeds inside the both of us Pre-Chorus You shut the door Then ask me why I’m standing outside You call me dramatic For reacting to goodbye Chorus You only love me when it fits your mood When the timing’s right for you And if I cry, I’m “too intense” If I need you, I’m “too sensitive” I’m over here trying to save the flame While you act like there’s no smoke, no pain You say I’m making problems out of nothing But loving you feels like slowly drowning Bridge Maybe I became emotional From carrying this alone Maybe “crazy” is what happens When somebody feels unknown You say peace means staying quiet I say love means trying too But I’m exhausted finding answers For someone avoiding truth Final Chorus You only call me when you need the warmth Then disappear when healing starts And every time I ask for more You swear it’s all inside my heart I’m tired of being the only one Holding us together while you run If there’s really “nothing wrong” like you say Why does loving you hurt this way?
