From the recording The Beautiful Collapse
Lyrics
You always show up when I’m close to leaving
Like you can feel it in my bones
Every time I start to breathe again
You remind me what I owe
I trace the damage like it’s sacred
Every scar you left behind
Like I’d rather feel the chaos
Than be alone inside my mind
I know exactly where this goes
But I don’t stop it
I keep coming back again
Like I need the way it ends
Every time I start to run
You’re the damage I become
I don’t want to feel this way
But I need you anyway
Even if it takes my soul
I don’t wanna let you go
Every truth you never told me
Still echoes when you speak
You say just enough to hold me
Right where I can’t break free
I keep trying to rewrite it
Like this time you’ll be different
But the ending never changes
I just learn to live with it
I tell myself I’ll let you go
But I don’t mean it
I keep coming back again
Like I need the way it ends
Every time I start to run
You’re the damage I become
I don’t want to feel this way
But I need you anyway
Even if it takes my soul
I don’t wanna let you go
Maybe I was never lost
Maybe I just chose the fall
Every time I saw the truth
I still gave you everything
If I burn, I burn with you
Pull me under
I don’t fight it anymore
I keep coming back again
Like I need the way it ends
Every time I start to run
You’re the damage I become
I don’t want to feel this way
But I need you anyway
Even if it takes my soul
I don’t wanna let you go
You’re the only thing I know
The only thing I chose
The only thing I won’t let go
The devil I know
