Lyrics

Mist on the window, but it's just the moon on glass
Your laugh's still on my hoodie like a scent I can't outlast
I'm the kind of "don't worry" that blinks if you look too long
A bent key in a deadbolt, trying to belong
You talk like you're leaving while you're looking for your keys
And I nod like I'm listening,with a fist inside my throat
One... two-three-four, my heartbeat misses a step
Say you don't need saving,okay, cool,neither do I
(yeah) But my hands still ache like they remember where you lean
Tether me to your mess, I won't cut the rope
Hold me like a deadline, like a last-ditch hope
If the world needs a scapegoat, let it point at me
I'll wear your heartbreak like a tarnished ring
Your name tastes like rust when I say it to the ceiling
Like biting down on "sorry" just to keep from feeling
We were basement saints with no hymnbook, no plan
Two fines in a glovebox, laughing like "yeah, we can."
Now the house is too quiet, even the faucet sounds sharp
Dripping little minutes in the hollow of the heart
I don't do "goodbye" clean,mine come blunt and loud
You don't do "I miss you",you just pace the house
(ooh) And the silence gets heavy like denim soaked through
"Don't you go quiet on me now."
Don't you,don't you
I'm not a fixer, I'm the shoes you left by the door
The kind you swear you're done with, then you trip on once more
I got sharp little truths and I keep 'em in my teeth
But when you look right through me, my resolve starts to bleed
So tell me it was nothing,say it plain, say it cold
And I'll lie to my reflection till the story's getting old
Tether me to your mess, I won't cut the rope
Hold me like a deadline, like a last-ditch hope
If the world needs a scapegoat, let it point at me
I'll wear your heartbreak like a tarnished ring
(yeah) I'll wear it, I'll wear it... let it ache, let it sting
Rain on the glass
I won't cut the rope
