Lyrics

Instead of saying no
I wiped the powder from his nose
Said
"You're better than this
You know"
But my hands were shaking
Ashtray on the windowsill
Phone lighting up
All caps
"u good?"
He laughed
"We got time to kill"
I swallowed what I should've said
I keep on cleaning up the damage
Like it's just another habit
Like I'm not drowning in the fragments
Of the boy I used to know
Instead of walking out
I'm staying
Holding on and rearranging
Every line that he's been taking
Like I'm saving him by wiping powder from his nose
He said
"Baby
It's just one night
Everybody needs a little edge"
But I see twenty versions of goodbye
Hanging off the ledge
Bathroom light too bright
Too harsh
His reflection looking right through mine
I joke
"Guess we're both a little dark"
He grins and says
"We'll be fine"
I keep on cleaning up the damage
Like it's just another habit
Like I'm not drowning in the fragments
Of the boy I used to know
Instead of walking out
I'm staying
Holding on and rearranging
Every line that he's been taking
Like I'm saving him by wiping powder from his nose
How many times can I rewrite the scene
Change the ending
Change the meaning
Tell myself it's not enabling
If it's done in love (done in love)
How many nights till I admit I'm scared
That I'm the only one who cares
That I'm the one who keeps him there
By never giving up
I keep on cleaning up the damage
Like it's just another habit
Like I'm not drowning in the fragments
Of the boy I used to know
Instead of walking out
I'm staying
Holding on and rearranging
Every line that he's been taking
Like I'm saving him by wiping powder from his nose
