Echoes of Midnight Steel

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I replay the words you said at night Act like they don’t cut, but they still bite Little comments dressed up as jokes Now they linger like cigarette smoke You pull away then pull me close (If you pull away, why pull me close?) Hot and cold, I know this road (If I know this road, why walk it slow?) Love shouldn’t feel this hard to keep (If it’s hard to keep, should we let it leave?) But somehow you still get to me ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] And I know you know Exactly where this goes Round and round again Till we break then bend ⸻ [Chorus] So why don’t we take some time off? (If we need space, then why you pull me back?) Let the storm settle down enough (If it settles down, maybe we won’t drown) Forget all the insensitive things you said (If we know the start, then why not stop?) And every little doubt stuck in my head (If it’s in my head, why’s it in my chest?) Love making in the nude while arguing until noon (If this is love, then why’s my heart broken?) Maybe that’s the reason we get so confused Maybe space is what we need Before love turns into hurting Cause we both know where this starts And I’m tryna protect my heart Give me a break~! Let my heart heallll~! Maybe space is what we need Before we lose the best of us Cause we both know where this starts And I still feel you in my heart… ⸻ [Bridge] Maybe healing starts with distance Maybe love needs room to breathe Maybe time could soften all the pain That’s been living underneath And even if it hurts right now I know my heart will heal from this One day these tears won’t feel this heavy One day I’ll forgive all of it… Heal from this… Maybe heal from this… One day… Maybe one day… ⸻ [Final Chorus] So why don’t we take some time off? (If you want me back, then let me cool off) Even if it scares us too much (If it hurts this much, maybe that says enough) Forget all the insensitive things we said (If we said it once, why’d I say it twice?) Before we leave each other wrecked (If we stay this way, then what are we saving?) Love making in the nude while arguing until noon (Perfect storm, When will we reach paradise?) Trying to fix the fire while we’re standing in the fumes Maybe space is what we need Before love turns into hurting Cause we both know where this starts And I still wanna guard my heart Give me a break~! Let my heart heallll~! Maybe one day we’ll come back softer Without all this weight between us Cause we both know where this starts… And I don’t wanna lose myself in it… Lose myself in it… Maybe we need time off…
