lyrics:

seeing you again
i wanna hear you breathe to copy it
i’m stuck from the waist down
my chest is pounding and there’s no stopping it
keep my heart in your chokehold
i can take it if i can be in your arms
clinging onto delusions
cause i know i’ll never have your heart

but i can take it i can take it
i can take it if you wanted
so why are you preaching
about something that isn’t me and you
you could have it you could
rip it from my rib cage if you want it
i’m holding my heart out
while you sit and watch it break in two

you don’t have to tell me
tell me that i'm overthinking it
why don’t you save me from my mind
before i sink in it
never been superstitious
but cupid’s arrow is killing me from within
never been too religious
but i'll pray every night you let me in

but i can take it i can take it
i can take it if you wanted
so why are you preaching
about something that isn’t me and you
you could have it you could
rip it from my rib cage if you want it
i’m holding my heart out
while you sit and watch it break in two

and i know
when my peripheral catches your eye from a mile away
i’ll keep my head down, my mouth shut
and turn the other way
and i know
girl i know my worth
and i don’t deserve your heart
but i can take it if you want me to

but i can take it i can take it
i can take it if you wanted
(i can take it baby)
so why are you preaching
about something that isn’t me and you
(never about me and you)
you could have it you could
rip it from my rib cage if you want it
(rip it from my rib cage baby)
i’m holding my heart out
while you sit and watch it break in two

your heart
