Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I blew things out of proportion, now you're blue

Put you in jail for something you didn't do

I pinned your hands behind your back, oh

Thought I had reason to attack, but no

[Verse 2]

Fighting with a true love is boxing with no gloves

Chemistry till it blows up, till there's no us

Why'd I have to break what I love so much?

It's on your face, and I'm to blame, I need to say

[Chorus]

Hey, it's all me, in my head

I'm the one who burned us down

But it's not what I meant

Sorry that I hurt you

I don't wanna do, I don't wanna do this to you

I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you

I need to say, hey, it's all me, just don't go

Meet me in the afterglow

[Verse 3]

It's so excruciating to see you low

Just wanna lift you up and not let you go

This ultraviolet morning light below

Tells me this love is worth the fight, oh

[Verse 4]

I lived like an island, punished you with silence

Went off like sirens, just cryin'

Why'd I have to break what I love so much?

It's on your face, don't walk away, I need to say

[Chorus]

Hey, it's all me, in my head

I'm the one who burned us down

But it's not what I meant

I'm sorry that I hurt you

I don't wanna do, I don't wanna do this to you

I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you

I need to say, hey, it's all me, just don't go

Meet me in the afterglow

[Bridge]

Tell me that you're still mine

Tell me that we'll be just fine

Even when I lose my mind

I need to say

Tell me that it's not my fault

Tell me that I'm all you want

Even when I break your heart

I need to say

[Chorus]

Hey, it's all me, in my head

I'm the one who burned us down

But it's not what I meant

Sorry that I hurt you

I don't wanna do, I don't wanna do this to you

I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you

I need to say, hey, it's all me, just don't go

Meet me in the afterglow
