My Problem Was You

Lyrics

[Intro] You walk in, the room goes cold Same old story, different control [Verse 1] You keep a matchbook in your pocket Strike one whenever I speak Turn every promise into a weapon Then call the damage my defeat You know the lock code to my silence You know exactly where to press I built a wall out of patience You made a ladder out of every step [Pre-Chorus] Don’t say you’re sorry Don’t dress it up in gold I see the pattern clearly I know the part you hold [Chorus] My problem is you The spark, the bruise, the knife cutting through My problem is you Every road I take bends back to you I’m done being pulled by the truth you bend Done letting your storm decide how I end My problem is you So tonight I’m becoming someone new [Verse 2] Your name still stains the kitchen table In coffee rings and unpaid bills I gave you every spare tomorrow You spent them on your cheap-made thrills The house is quiet, but I hear you In every hinge and broken frame I’m not afraid of being lonely I’m afraid I’ll let you back again [Pre-Chorus] Don’t say you’re sorry The damage learned my name I’m done defending your fire I’m done standing in the flame [Chorus] My problem is you The spark, the bruise, the knife cutting through My problem is you Every road I take bends back to you I’m done being pulled by the truth you bend Done letting your storm decide how I end My problem is you So tonight I’m becoming someone new [Bridge] Cut the cord Break the chain Leave your fingerprints Out of my veins No more waiting No more proof I found the door And I’m walking through [Final Chorus] My problem was you The spark, the bruise, the knife cutting through My problem was you Now the road I take belongs to me too I’m done being pulled by the truth you bend Done letting your storm decide how I end My problem was you Tonight I’m becoming someone new [Outro] You were the answer I outgrew My problem was you
