I KNOW I'M THE PROBLEM

[Verse 1]
I lit the match, then blamed the fire
Built up the walls, then called you a liar
I pushed you out, said I needed space
Then cried when you gave me just what I said

[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the silence, I feel the cold
Every echo tells me what I should’ve known

[Chorus]
I know I’m the problem, it’s written in flames
Every broken piece still carries my name
You were the calm, I was the storm
You tried to fix me, I just made it worse
I know I’m the reason you walked away
And I’ve got no one else to blame
Yeah, I know I’m the problem
But I still wish you’d stay

[Verse 2]
I wore my wounds like a crown of thorns
Turned love into something it was never born for
You begged me to feel, I chose to hide
Now the bed’s just cold on your side

[Pre-Chorus]
I see the damage, can’t look away
I tore it down, now I’m begging it to stay

[Chorus]
I know I’m the problem, the cracks in the glass
Every shattered dream stuck in the past
You gave it your all, I gave it doubt
You reached for me—I shut you out
I know I’m the reason your sky turned gray
And I’ve got no excuse to say
Yeah, I know I’m the problem
But I still hope you’ll stay

[Bridge]
I’m not proud of the man I’ve been
Can’t rewrite the pages soaked in sin
But if there’s a chance, just one last light
I’d fight my demons every night

[Chorus]
I know I’m the problem, I’m owning it now
If you came back, I’d show you how
I’d hold your heart like a fragile flame
Not a thing I’d risk, not a game I’d play
I know I’m the reason we fell apart
But I’d tear down these walls for a brand-new start
Yeah, I know I’m the problem
But I’d change it all if you'd stay

[Outro]
I know I’m the problem...
But I’m trying to change

Losing It
