Verse

We talk in circles just to end up where we start,
Hands on the wheel, but I’m steering with my heart.
You say you’re leaving, then you show up at my door,
We go from saying “never again” to wanting more.

I know I should stop letting you in,
But you look at me once and the room starts to spin.
We’ve rehearsed this ending a thousand times,
Still fall back into the same old lines.

Pre-Chorus

Every time we promise that we’ll slow down,
We end up racing till we leave the ground.

Chorus

We’re a crash I keep running back to,
A beautiful mess that I can’t undo.
Heart on the dashboard, breaking in two,
But I still hit the gas when it comes to you.

We’re a crash that feels like déjà vu,
You say, “Let go,” and I still drag through.
I know it hurts, I know it’s true,
We’re a crash… and I still choose you.

Verse 2

We fall apart in the calm, collide in the storm,
Turn cold shoulders into something warm.
You ghost me twice, then say you care,
I call you out, you say “Life’s unfair.”

You’re an exit sign I can’t ignore,
A red light I keep running toward.
Every warning blurs out when you’re near,
Every goodbye melts into “stay here.”

Pre-Chorus 

We’re always better when we lose our way,
Burn too bright, then fade by day.

Chorus 2

We’re a crash I keep running back to,
A beautiful mess that I can’t undo.
Heart on the dashboard, breaking in two,
But I still hit the gas when it comes to you.

We’re a crash that feels like déjà vu,
You say, “Let go,” and I still drag through.
I know it hurts, I know it’s true,
We’re a crash… and I still choose you.

Bridge

I know we’re toxic, I know we’re wrong,
But wrong with you still feels like home.
If this is the ending, then let’s collide,
One last time before we slide.

I keep forgetting how to stop…
I keep forgetting when to walk.

Breakdown Chorus

We’re a crash I keep running back to,
A dare I take though I know I’ll lose.

Final Chorus

We’re a crash I keep running back to,
A beautiful mess that I can’t undo.
Heart on the dashboard, breaking in two,
But I still hit the gas when it comes to you.

We’re a crash that feels like déjà vu,
Every scar just points back to you.
I know it hurts, I know it’s true,
We’re a crash…
and I still chase you.

Crash

Verse

The sheets still pull the way you used to hold me,
Your shadow’s in the doorway like you never told me
You were leaving, you were done, that you needed something “real,”
Funny how you’re gone but you’re all I feel.

Your side of the pillow’s got a dent like a bruise,
I swear I hear your laughter when I’m trying not to move.
Every empty night just echoes in my head,
You’re not here, but you’re haunting me instead.

Pre-Chorus

I keep pretending that I’m fine alone,
But everything you touched still feels like home.

Chorus

There’s a ghost in my bed where you used to lay,
Wearing your perfume, saying things you’d say.
I turn on the lights but you don’t fade,
Guess some memories love to stay.

There’s a ghost in my bed that I can’t reset,
Still hear your heartbeat in the silhouette.
I try to move on, but I can’t forget,
‘Cause you left,
and your ghost hasn’t yet.

Verse 2

Your jacket’s on the chair like you’re coming back soon,
I never learned to sleep without giving you room.
Your voice is in my headphones when I try to drown you out,
Every song becomes a whisper of our fallout.

I talk to the ceiling just to fill the space,
Try to meet new people but they don’t have your face.
They don’t laugh like you did at the things I said,
They feel real,
but you feel undead.

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I’ll outgrow this ache someday,
But tonight it’s lying where you lay.

Chorus 2

There’s a ghost in my bed where you used to lay,
Wearing your perfume, saying things you’d say.
I turn on the lights but you don’t fade,
Guess some memories love to stay.

There’s a ghost in my bed that I can’t reset,
Still hear your heartbeat in the silhouette.
I try to move on, but I can’t forget,
‘Cause you left,
and your ghost hasn’t yet.

Bridge

I know you’re gone,
but you’re here somehow.
I swear I feel your hands right now…
I breathe you in,
I should let you go,
But letting go’s a thing I never know.

Breakdown Chorus

There’s a ghost in my bed wearing your old smile,
I sleep on the edge, but it stays awhile.

Final Chorus

There’s a ghost in my bed where you used to lay,
Wearing your perfume, saying things you’d say.
I turn on the lights but you don’t fade,
Guess some memories love to stay.

There’s a ghost in my bed and it’s got your eyes,
Your half-meant truths and your half-meant lies.
I try to forget, but every time I try,
You leave again…
and your ghost comes inside.

Ghost

Verse

I still keep your letters folded in the drawer,
Read them when I’m sober, feel them when I’m bored.
Your voice is in the margins where you joked we'd never break,
Funny how the smallest lies become the biggest ache.

I wear your necklace, though I swore I wouldn't keep it,
Little silver promise that I keep trying to defeat it.
You said “forever” like a line in a song,
But you skipped the verse where it all went wrong.

Pre-Chorus

Every heartbeat has your name in time,
A rhythm I can’t rewrite or re-define.

Chorus

I keep your name written on my heartline,
A scar I trace when I can’t find mine.
I try to move on, but I fall behind,
You’re the pulse I feel every time.

I keep your truth under my skin,
Like ink that never learned to thin.
I let you go, but you still stay,
You’re my heartline, either way.

Verse 2

Your sweater’s on the hanger, untouched for weeks,
I keep pretending I’m fine till my calmness leaks.
Your ghost walks the hallway like it owns the floor,
If I shut the lights off, it hurts even more.

Everyone tells me I should try to forget,
But forgetting who you were feels like failing a test.
So I keep failing proudly, like it’s something divine,
Like I’m meant to be yours even after the end of the line.

Pre-Chorus

I keep dialing numbers I’ll never call,
I keep writing messages I’ll never send at all.

Chorus 2

I keep your name written on my heartline,
A scar I trace when I can’t find mine.
I try to move on, but I fall behind,
You’re the pulse I feel every time.

I keep your truth under my skin,
Like ink that never learned to thin.
I let you go, but you still stay,
You’re my heartline, anyway.

Bridge

If healing takes time, I’m burning hours,
Picking apart the memories like dead flowers.
If loving you broke me, I still don’t mind,
You’re the bruise I’m proud to find.

I’ve tried to cut you out,
But you’re the beat I can’t live without.

Final Chorus

I keep your name written on my heartline,
A scar I trace when I can’t find mine.
I try to forget, but I can’t unwind,
You’re the rhythm inside my spine.

I keep your truth under my skin,
Like ink that never learned to thin.
I let you go, but you still stay,
You’re my heartline…
you’re my heartline…
anyway.

Heartline

Verse

I still sleep on the left like you’re coming back,
Leave half the bed cold, keep space for the lack.
Your hoodie on the chair hasn’t moved in weeks,
I talk to it sometimes when my courage leaks.

The dishes pile up like reminders of us,
I’m doing fine, yeah, it’s all just “adjust.”
But every time I’m close to feeling okay,
I hear your name in the quiet of day.

Pre-Chorus

And I wish I could breathe you out clean,
But you live in the spaces between.

Chorus

If I hold my breath long enough,
Maybe I’ll forget how we were in love.
Maybe the ache will drift from my chest,
If I hold my breath…
hold my breath.

If I close my eyes long enough,
Maybe I’ll remember how to feel enough.
Maybe the truth won’t hurt like this,
But I breathe you in
with every breath I miss.

Verse 2

I still play your playlist when I drive at night,
Pretend you’re singing with me at the stoplight.
Your smile shows up in the lamppost glow,
A memory dressed like something I know.

My friends all say I’m better these days,
But they don’t hear your voice in every phrase.
They don’t feel the pull from the ghost you left,
Or the way my chest shakes when I try my best.

Pre-Chorus

I know letting go should mean set you free,
But I keep you alive in the air I breathe.

Chorus 2

If I hold my breath long enough,
Maybe I’ll forget how we fell in love.
Maybe the weight will lift from my chest,
If I hold my breath…
hold my breath.

If I close my eyes long enough,
Maybe I won’t crave your touch.
Maybe goodbye won’t feel like death,
But I breathe you in
with every stolen breath.

Bridge

Every inhale feels like you,
Every exhale feels like truth.
And I don’t want to choose,
To keep or lose
what’s left of you.

I’m trying to breathe,
but you’re all I breathe.

Breakdown Chorus

If I hold my breath…
maybe I’ll forget…
But I never do.
It’s still you.

Final Chorus

If I hold my breath long enough,
Maybe I’ll forget how we called it love.
Maybe the ache will fade from my chest,
But I breathe you in
more than the rest.

If I close my eyes long enough,
Maybe someday I’ll feel enough.
Maybe I’ll heal what’s left,
But tonight I’m yours
in every breath.

I hold my breath.
I hold my breath.

Hold My Breath

Verse

You hit me up at midnight, said you “only wanna talk,”
But you’re standing at my doorway wearing nothing but the shock.
You always pull me under just to ask if I can swim,
And I keep saying “never again,” then let you back in.

You leave your earrings in my bed like little warning signs,
Then blame me when you find them and pretend that you’re surprised.
We dance around the truth like it’s a fire we can’t outrun,
But you’re the flicker in the dark I never should’ve trusted once.

Pre-Chorus

We don’t need a reason, we don’t need a rule,
You break me like a habit, and I follow like a fool.

Chorus

You’re bad for me, but you feel like home,
Like déjà vu wrapped around my bones.
Every time you call, I lose control,
Guess I like the parts of you that swallow me whole.

You’re bad for me, but it’s not a crime,
You ruin me soft and do it on time.
I know I should leave, but honestly,
You’re bad for me… and I’m bad at being free.

Verse 2

You say you want commitment, then you vanish for a week,
Then show up drunk at 2 a.m. and kiss me on the cheek.
You always say you’re changing, then you change the way you lie,
You tell me that you “need some space,” then take up all of mine.

You leave your cigarette smell hanging heavy in my clothes,
You make a mess of boundaries like it’s just another joke.
I try to cut you out, but you come back like a refrain,
A song I shouldn’t love, but I still sing it anyway.

Pre-Chorus

We don’t need a promise, we just need the spark,
You light me up too easily, then leave me in the dark.

Chorus 2

You’re bad for me, but you feel like home,
Like déjà vu wrapped around my bones.
Every time you call, I lose control,
Guess I like the parts of you that swallow me whole.

You’re bad for me, but it’s not a crime,
You ruin me soft and do it on time.
I know I should leave, but honestly,
You’re bad for me… and I’m bad at being free.

Bridge

I swear I’m quitting you,
(Gang shouts: Sure you are!)
I’ll block your number too,
(Gang shouts: Till you’re bored!)
I’ll never let you in again,
(Gang shouts: Heard that before!)
…Alright, fine, I’ll unlock the door.

Breakdown Chorus

You’re bad for me, but you feel like truth,
A beautiful problem dressed in you.
Try to cut you out like you’re a disease,
But you’re the one ache I kinda need.

Final Chorus

You’re bad for me, but you feel like home,
Like déjà vu wrapped around my bones.
Every time you call, I lose control,
Guess I like the parts of you that swallow me whole.

You’re bad for me, but it’s not a crime,
You ruin me soft and do it on time.
I know I should leave, but honestly,
You’re bad for me…
(Gang: Bad for me!)
You’re bad for me…
(Gang: Bad for me!)
And I’m bad at being free.

Bad For Me

Verse

You show up unannounced like you always do,
With that half-drunk smile and a “Hey, can I talk to you?”
I let you in the doorway even though I swore I’d stop,
You say we’re “just friends,” then your jacket drops.

We trade excuses like we’re dealing cards,
Both pretending healing isn’t this hard.
You touch my hand and the world goes white,
I hate how easy it is to reignite.

Pre-Chorus

Every vow I break, you’re the spark behind it,
You say “We won’t go too far,” then we slide right into it.

Chorus

Here we are, on fire again,
Burning up like we did back then.
Told myself I’d never give in,
But you breathe my name and I cave in.

Yeah, we’re on fire again,
Lighting storms we can’t defend.
I know how this ends, I know the trend,
But strike the match…
and I’ll burn again.

Verse 2

You say you’re trying to change, but your eyes say “stay,”
So we fall into the rhythm we both betray.
You whisper secrets that you’ll forget by dawn,
I tell myself it’s nothing, then you pull me along.

Your laugh hits me harder than your lies ever could,
You break me in the places where it almost feels good.
We’re a rerun romance with a brand-new spin,
You say “One last time,” then we dive back in.

Pre-Chorus

We’re fire hazards dressed like lovers,
Igniting wounds we never cover.

Chorus 2

Here we are, on fire again,
Burning up like we did back then.
Told myself I’d never give in,
But you breathe my name and I cave in.

Yeah, we’re on fire again,
Lighting storms we can’t defend.
I know how this ends, I know the trend,
But strike the match…
and I’ll burn again.

Bridge

You say you shouldn’t stay…
but you don’t walk away.
I say I’m over you…
but somehow you already knew.

We’re gasoline in human shape,
One touch and nothing can escape.

Breakdown Chorus

On fire again,
I feel the heat beneath my skin.
I know it’s wrong, but here you come…
and I give in.

Final Chorus

Here we are, on fire again,
Burning up like we did back then.
You say “It’s different,” but you pretend,
Still, I say “yes” and break again.

Yeah, we’re on fire again,
Lighting storms we can’t defend.
The warning signs are bright as sin,
But strike the match…
and I’ll let you in.

We’re on fire again…
on fire again.

On Fire Again

Verse 1

I heard you’re doing fine now, posting pictures in the sun.
New flat, new crowd, new playlist, acting like we never were one.
I’m stuck on the sofa with our ghosts on screen,
You’re a highlight reel, I’m the cut-off scene.

I scroll till my eyes burn, but I still can’t sleep.
Every little update digs in too deep.
I tell all my friends that I’m over it now,
But my voice still shakes when I say it out loud.

Pre-Chorus

You didn’t crash my life like a car on fire,
You just slipped the blade a little bit higher.

Chorus

You didn’t break me, no,
You just cut to the bone.
Left me laughing in the bar, stumbling home alone.
I’m not shattered on the floor,
I’m just not who I was before.
You didn’t break me, no,
You just cut to the bone.

Verse 2

Your jacket’s still hanging on the back of my chair,
Smells like cheap perfume and city air.
All of your records in a half-packed box,
I still skip track three ’cause it hits too soft.

I keep your mug on the top shelf, chipped on the side,
Like the part of me you took when you said goodbye.
Everyone says that I’ll heal with time,
But the clock froze up when you left my life.

Pre-Chorus

You didn’t tear my world from the root to the wire,
You just turned down the heat, left a slow-burning fire.

Chorus

You didn’t break me, no,
You just cut to the bone.
Left your name on my tongue like a hang-up tone.
I’m not shattered on the floor,
I’m just not who I was before.
You didn’t break me, no,
You just cut to the bone.

Bridge

I still wear that stupid shirt you said you liked,
Even though it fits me wrong and it rides up tight.
You moved on like it was nothing but a scene,
I’m still stuck in the credits where your name used to be.

Maybe I’ll stop checking who you’re lying with at night,
Maybe I’ll stop replaying every little fight.
I know I’ll be okay, but I can’t lie yet,
You’re the one mistake I don’t regret.

Breakdown Chorus

You didn’t break me, no,
You just cut to the bone.
Left a line through my life I can’t quite disown.

Final Chorus

You didn’t break me, no,
You just cut to the bone.
Left me talking to the walls, walking home alone.
I’m not shattered on the floor,
I’m just not who I was before.
You didn’t break me, no,
You just cut to the bone.
