Harder to Breathe

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah I know what you came for [Verse 1] You left your coat on the back of my chair Like you planned on staying, but you never were there Phone face down, little lie in the glow You say nothing happened, but I already know I kept the receipts in a box by the sink Every promise folded thinner than you think You pull me close when the room gets cold Then turn your shoulder when the truth gets told [Pre-Chorus] I gave you every room inside my head You furnished it with things you never said Now every door is locked from the inside I hear your footsteps, but I’m done replying [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 [Verse 2] You know the shortcut to the softest part Say my name twice, then you reach for my heart I used to mistake your silence for peace Now I count the seconds till the pressure release Your friends know the story, they heard your side You made me the villain just to sleep at night But I wore your damage like a jacket in June Sweat through the fabric, still defended you [Pre-Chorus] I gave you every room inside my head You furnished it with things you never said Now every door is locked from the inside I hear your footsteps, but I’m done replying [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 [Bridge] Don’t call when the rain gets loud Don’t reach for me in a crowded room I was lost in the shape of us Now I’m making space to move If loving you means losing me Then losing you is overdue [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] Harder to breathe Harder to see You pulled me under Now I’m leaving clean
