Get away

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah… I knew you were trouble when you said my name. Still ran toward you anyway. [Verse 1] You call me when the whole world starts collapsing, I pick up even when my own heart’s cracking. You say you need me, then you disappear, Come back when the silence gets too loud in your ears. I know about him, I know what you said, Still got your voice running loops in my head. You want two hearts but I’m losing mine, Standing in the dark while you ask for more time. [Pre-Chorus] And I hate that I understand, Every excuse, every shaking hand. You say, “I love you, but I’m not ready,” So why the hell do you keep me steady? [Chorus] I’m your dead rose, bleeding in your hands, You keep me close but you never let me stand. If loving you is hell, then let me burn, I knew the price and I never learned. You’re the wound that I keep reopening, The only thing that keeps my cold heart hoping. If you leave, I’ll say I’m fine— Then fucking miss you every night. [Verse 2] You call me your secret like I’m something shameful, But I’d still choose you when the choice ain’t stable. You tell me you want me, tell me you need me, Then love somebody else while you’re still beneath me. And maybe I’m stupid, maybe I’m sick, Maybe I got addicted to the way you exist. Every goodbye turns into “come back,” Every promise disappears when the panic attacks. [Bridge — screamed] DON’T TELL ME YOU LOVE ME IF YOU’RE GONNA LET ME GO! DON’T MAKE ME YOUR HOME IF YOU’RE STILL LOOKING FOR THE DOOR! I’D RATHER DIE HEARTBROKEN THAN LIVE LIKE I NEVER KNEW YOU— SO IF THIS IS THE END, I’LL STILL FUCKING CHOOSE YOU. [Final Chorus] I’m your dead rose, bleeding in your hands, You keep me close but you never let me stand. If loving you is hell, then let me burn, I knew the price and I never learned. You’re the ghost I’ll carry when you’re gone, The reason every sad song feels like home. And if someday you finally choose me, I’ll wonder why it took losing you to make you see me. [Outro] Maybe we were never meant to stay. Maybe some loves are only meant to haunt you. But fuck… I still want you anyway.
