Before It's Gone

Lyrics: [Intro] Ooh [Verse 1] I saw your name on a cracked phone screen At 2:03, like you were a dream Five months gone, and I said I'm fine But the truth still bled through every line You said, “Hey, you up?” like the time before And the whole damn floor fell out once more I learned how to smile, how to stay in line Still every night, I lose my mind [Pre-Chorus] You sound different, like you’ve cried in the rain I sound like a war that I can’t explain We’re both just voices, trying not to break On a wire of words we don’t know how to say [Chorus] So come over, but don’t expect the light I’m a mess of a house and I’m losing the fight I said I moved on, but I still feel the ache I replay every word like it’s mine to take Is it crazy to want you in my worst When the dam is cracking and the good turns cursed If I’m honest, I’m barely holding on Come find what’s left of me before it’s gone before its gone [Verse 2] I told myself I had to leave you behind To find my own spine, to clear my mind But the silence I ran to became a cage And I don’t recognize the face I made I was so scared of drowning in your tide That I walked off the cliff just to keep my pride Now every scar I earned trying to be okay Only proves I never walked away [Pre-Chorus] I thought time would make it lighter somehow I thought distance would make me new by now But the further I ran from what we were The more I found myself returning to her [Chorus] So come over, but don’t expect the light I’m a mess of a house and I’m losing the fight I said I moved on, but I still feel the ache I replay every word like it’s mine to take Is it crazy to want you in my worst When the dam is cracking and the good turns cursed If I’m honest, I’m barely holding on Come find what’s left of me before it’s gone [Bridge] What if I come back and you’re already gone What if I stay and the real me moves on What if I say your name and you hear a mistake What if I reach for you and only bring pain I don’t want to be brave I just don’t want to be alone And if you’re broken too maybe I’m not on my own I left you to save me But that was the wrong ’Cause running from love Was never where I belonged [Final Chorus] So come over, but don’t expect the light I’m a mess of a house and I’m losing the fight I said I moved on, but I still feel the ache I replay every word like it’s mine to take You sound like you’ve been hurting too And I hate that I still miss you If I’m honest, I’m barely holding on And I don’t know how to let you go When you’re the only one [hook] Who still knows the part of me I hide Who still feels like home on the other side Come find what’s left of my half of the soul Come find what’s left before I lose control [Outro]
