[VERSE 1] You met me halfway through a fire And somehow didn’t fucking run I couldn’t tell you where I was going I barely knew what I’d become You learned the exits, learned the warnings Learned when to leave the lights turned on And I kept waiting for the moment You’d finally decide that I was wrong [PRE-CHORUS] But you didn’t leave Not then Not when I gave you every reason Funny how we survived the worst Then got scared when it got easy [CHORUS] Maybe we weren’t wrong Maybe we were a year off I was scared of staying You were scared I’d see it all So I let go first You finished the job We both killed it early So neither had to watch it fall Maybe that was love Maybe we just fucked it up Maybe we weren’t over Maybe we were a year off [VERSE 2] You thought I couldn’t hold your pieces Like you hadn’t carried all of mine You decided what would break me I decided you deserved a better life That’s the part that makes me angry We were trying to be kind I made your choice without you You went and made mine [PRE-CHORUS] Nobody cheated Nobody lied Nobody woke up wanting somebody else We just looked too far ahead And scared ourselves to death [CHORUS] Maybe we weren’t wrong Maybe we were a year off I was scared of staying You were scared I’d see it all So I let go first You finished the job We both killed it early So neither had to watch it fall Maybe that was love Maybe we just fucked it up Maybe we weren’t over Maybe we were a year off [BRIDGE] You saw me at my worst And stayed I saw you start to crack And you ran Not because I couldn’t take it You never gave me the chance And I can’t even blame you ’Cause I did the same damn thing We stood there trying to save each other From a future neither one had seen So tell me— What exactly did we save? [BREAKDOWN] I MADE YOUR CHOICE FOR YOU YOU MADE MINE FOR ME CALLED IT BEING SELFLESS CALLED IT SETTING SOMEBODY FREE WE NEVER EVEN LET IT BREAK WE JUST DECIDED THAT IT WOULD God— We could’ve been bad together We could’ve been good [FINAL CHORUS] Maybe we weren’t wrong Maybe we were a year off Maybe I could’ve stayed Maybe you could’ve shown me all Maybe you would’ve learned I wasn’t asking you to be fixed Maybe I would’ve learned Love doesn’t need a fucking exit Do we want this back I don’t know what I want I just hate knowing We never found out what we lost Maybe that was us Maybe that was almost enough Maybe we weren’t over Maybe we were a year off.
