Lyrics

Should've read the room but I ran blind
Red flags waved I called it fine
Static in your tone I missed the sign
Had excuses on rewind
You'd go quiet I'd get loud
Turn your maybe into vows
Now the footage looks so bowed
Like I edited the truth
I won't flex like I'm okay
Point me out when I drift away
I chased noise night after day
Now I hear you clear
Pull me in don't rush the spark
I been lost inside the dark
Stay a bit let bruises talk
Show me what is real
No more games no borrowed lines
Teach my pride to read the signs
If you're here I'll change my mind
Show me what is real
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Say it plain ayy
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Don't fade out
I wore jokes like they were armor plates
Kept my heart behind the stronger face
You'd hint we're close to breaking I'd debate
Like denial set the pace
When you grabbed my wrist my pulse confessed
All that I'm good was just distress
Now I'm seeing what I second-guessed
Every signal every shift
I don't need you to be perfect
Just be patient when it's worth it
If I freeze don't call it desert
I'm unlearning fear
Pull me in don't rush the spark
I been lost inside the dark
Stay a bit let bruises talk
Show me what is real
No more games no borrowed lines
Teach my pride to read the signs
If you're here I'll change my mind
Show me what is real
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Say it plain ayy
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Don't fade out
If I flinch let me reset
I mistook your calm for threat
Now the clues align in retrospect
I was scared to know
Pull me in don't rush the spark
I been lost inside the dark
Stay a bit let bruises talk
Show me what is real
No more games no borrowed lines
Teach my pride to read the signs
If you're here I'll change my mind
Show me what is real
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Say it plain ayy
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Don't fade out
