My Year

Our Year

[INTRO]
Euphoria explodes from your touch
I can’t control this lust
But it was never just a phase
You carved yourself into my brain

[VERSE 1]
I want to push him to the side
And run into your arms tonight
I don’t care if someone’s with you now
I’d burn this house just to see you somehow
So I keep you locked in the back of my mind
Smile for the fam, say I’m doing fine

[PRE-CHORUS]
But in reality
I’m really not

[CHORUS 1]
You was the pain
Not the memory, not the time we lost
You was the flame
Burning steady underneath the frost
I tried to fix what I never could name
Now I know
You was the pain

[VERSE 2]
Only a year but I lusted you hard
We crossed pinkies like it’d stop the scars
I believed you’d hold that promise close
Close the door we swore we’d ghost
But we stayed friends, so I played fake
Told myself it was just a phase

[PRE-CHORUS]
But I couldn’t shake
That false impulse

[CHORUS 2]
You was the pain
Hiding out inside my happy place
You drove me insane
I see your face in every escape
Tried to fight what I thought was right
But every calm still leads to your name
You was the pain

[BRIDGE]
You told me go
I told you stay
We tore our love in shades of gray
I blamed the silence, I blamed the games
But it was always you
You was the pain

[FINAL CHORUS]
You was the pain
Not the ghost I thought I was chasing
You was the ache
In every night I spent replacing
You weren’t the storm
You were the stain
The truth I drowned
But still remained

You was the pain

You Was the Pain
