VERSE
I just wanna make you feel like I did
But I'm intoxicated by the need to have a grip on it
I would let you have the upper hand if you could hold on tight
Somehow I'm the one who's biting nails in fear almost every time
Cause every single time I think we're finally getting strong
You prove me wrong
You're breaking down my every door
Cursing the answers I've been looking for
CHORUS
It was twelve-hour drives and public posts cutting like knives
I'm obsessive
I didn't know the cost
It was me calling my boss
Just to get time off so I could see you again
It was counting down the days till you let me down once more
Bending over backwards till my heart falls flat on the floor
Crossing state lines when the key snapped off inside
Now I can't clock out can't hide
If we both pretend we don't care
Then we're never getting anywhere
VERSE
In another life I'd have caught on fast
Counting the stitches in my pillow so I'm not tempted to ask
I would let you be my worst mistake given one more chance
I guess we'll never know if this was holy hell
Or just poor circumstance
Cause every single time I think I've got you figured out
There's something new to worry about
The hinges on my door broke loose
Theres no direction of which half of you to choose
CHORUS
It was twelve-hour drives and public posts cutting like knives
I'm obsessive
I didn't know the cost
It was me calling my boss
Just to get time off so I could see you again
It was counting down the days till you let me down once more
Bending over backwards till my heart falls flat on the floor
Crossing state lines when the key snapped off inside
Now I can't clock out can't hide
If we both pretend we don't care
Then we're never getting anywhere
BRIDGE
And it leaves a bad taste in your mouth
When there's distance building brick by brick
By the one thing that you couldn't live without
And what's worse is I could tell from the start
Ignored the signs in every crowded room
Refused to be another work of fiction that you didn't choose
But I knew
OUTRO
It takes an hour long drive
For you to fit yourself back into my life
You're not Midas
What you hold isn't gold
Anything you touch you stole
I need more than time off
I need to never see you again
I just wanna make you feel like I did
But I'm intoxicated by the need to have a grip on it
I would let you have the upper hand if you could hold on tight
Somehow I'm the one who's biting nails in fear almost every time
Cause every single time I think we're finally getting strong
You prove me wrong
You're breaking down my every door
Cursing the answers I've been looking for
