Who Put The Key In There

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I always see you mad, I always see you shake I always see you scared, like one wrong move will break You watch him cross the room and fold your hands away Your ex is built like trouble, and you hate the way he stays [Pre-Chorus] He's strong, he's big, he's wearing that fearless face Got a chest like armor and a smile that takes up space You call him terrifying, then look when he walks by I know you've got a secret burning underneath the lie [Chorus] You say, "I don't like him anymore" He says, "I don't freaking care" You say, "I don't fucking care" But your heartbeat gives you away right there You say, "I don't like him anymore" While you trace his name in the air If fear is the lock around your heart Tell me, who put the key in there? [Verse 2] I'm shaking in the hallway, trying not to make a scene He's your best friend's bestie, since you were barely three A toddler's heart still hiding underneath your pride You'd rather bite your tongue than let him see inside [Pre-Chorus] I know you don't want to hurt the people that you love But silence turns to thunder when you keep it bottled up He's not a monster just because he fills the door And maybe what you're scared of isn't him anymore [Chorus] You say, "I don't like him anymore" He says, "I don't freaking care" You say, "I don't fucking care" Then you both go quiet standing there You say, "I don't like him anymore" But your eyes keep pulling him near If fear is the lock around your heart Tell me, who put the key in there? [Bridge] "I don't shitty care," he throws it like a stone You laugh because the bravest words still leave you alone Take one step, say his name, let the whole room hear A crush can be a wound, but hiding makes it fear [Final Chorus] You say, "I don't like him anymore" He says, "I don't freaking care" You say, "I don't fucking care" Now the truth is hanging in the air You say, "I don't like him anymore" Then whisper, "Maybe that's not fair" If fear is the lock around your heart Turn the handle—meet him there [Outro] I always see you shake I always see you scared But maybe he is human Maybe you can tell him there
