We’re a flame in the dark, barely alive
And I’m scared if you shine, I’ll lose you this time
People ask me where all my good days went
I say your name like I still meant it
I want the way you feel, even when it’s killing me
Ever since that night when we crossed that line
I keep trying to work out what you saw in me
And what you let slip through your mind
You came in calm, like you weren’t gonna leave
Like this was something we could keep
So turn it up, don’t make me say
That I miss you more than I should every day
What is it in your voice, your touch, your breath
That makes me forget myself and love you past my depth
You’re the drink I take when I’m already low
I go slow, cause I know how this one goes
You make everything feel lighter for a minute
Then you leave and I’m the one who’s in it
We’re a flame in the dark, barely alive
And I’m scared if you shine, I’ll lose you this time
People ask me where all my good days went
I say your name like I still meant it
And I still want your flavor
Even when it lingers like the things we never say
You feel like almost, like maybe, like someday
And I break a little more every time you look my way
Sometimes I swear I’m getting over you
Then your memory hits me like a quiet bruise
Tell me why the things I try to lose
Are always the things I run back to
I only want your taste
Even when it empties me
I only want your taste
Even when it’s costing me
