My Problem Is You

Songtekst

[Verse 1] You leave your coat beside my door Like you still belong here A silver ring on the kitchen floor And a silence I can hear I tried to burn the letters clean But kept the final page Your name still cuts through everything Like a blade inside a cage [Pre-Chorus] I close the lock, I kill the light Your memory slips beneath it I swear I’m done, then every night My heart repeats the secret [Chorus] My problem is you The one thing I can’t undo I build a wall, you break it through With every word you never knew My problem is you Still turning gray skies blue I should be free, but I come back to The only ruin I call true [Verse 2] Your photograph is face-down now Under a stack of receipts But I can trace the shape somehow Of where you used to be I hear your laugh in crowded rooms Then lose it by the stairs I made a home without your perfume Still find you everywhere [Pre-Chorus] I close the lock, I kill the light Your memory slips beneath it I swear I’m done, then every night My heart repeats the secret [Chorus] My problem is you The one thing I can’t undo I build a wall, you break it through With every word you never knew My problem is you Still turning gray skies blue I should be free, but I come back to The only ruin I call true [Bridge] If love is a curse, let it take its due If losing you means losing me too Then carve your name where the scars shine through I hate the truth, but the truth is you [Final Chorus] My problem is you The one thing I can’t undo I build a wall, you break it through And every road comes back to you My problem is you The wound that I run into I should be free, but I come back to The only ruin I call true [Outro] My problem is you Still my problem is you
