Break Your Heart, Then I'll

Letra

[Verse 1] You leave your jacket on the kitchen chair Like you still plan on coming back in here Your coffee ring is dried beside the sink I read the things you never had to speak You call it love when you tighten the chain Then act surprised when I remember the pain I gave you every room inside my head You filled them up with promises you never kept [Pre-Chorus] Now every word has a weight I can feel Every kiss comes with something to conceal I’m done confusing fear with something real Tonight I’m choosing me over the deal [Chorus] I can’t keep holding my breath, it makes it harder to breathe I can’t keep covering my eyes, it makes it harder to see You can’t keep dragging me down until I’m down on my knees You claim you fell for me hard, I find that hard to believe I’ll break your heart, then I’ll leave [Verse 2] You keep my name like a card up your sleeve Pull it out whenever you need me to bleed You know the door, you know the code, you know the street But knowing where I live don’t mean you live in me I kept the peace till the peace kept me small Smiled through the cracks painted over the wall Now the picture frames are face down on the floor I don’t need your version of us anymore [Pre-Chorus] Now every word has a weight I can feel Every kiss comes with something to conceal I’m done confusing fear with something real Tonight I’m choosing me over the deal [Chorus] I can’t keep holding my breath, it makes it harder to breathe I can’t keep covering my eyes, it makes it harder to see You can’t keep dragging me down until I’m down on my knees You claim you fell for me hard, I find that hard to believe I’ll break your heart, then I’ll leave [Bridge] Don’t say my name like you still own the sound Don’t reach for me when your whole world comes down I was a home, you kept setting on fire Now watch me walk away from the smoke and the wire [Final Chorus] I can’t keep holding my breath, it makes it harder to breathe I can’t keep covering my eyes, it makes it harder to see You can’t keep dragging me down until I’m down on my knees You claim you fell for me hard, I find that hard to believe I’ll break your heart, then I’ll leave I’ll break your heart, then I’ll leave [Outro] The coffee ring is still beside the sink But I don’t stop to wonder what you think
