BREAK ME SLOW

[Verse 1] I lick the glass where your lips left a stain Collect your cigarette ash like it's cocaine Sleep in the sheets that you left behind Dream of your hands, in the back of my mind I'd carve out my ribs just to make you a home If you'd stay for a second and throw me a bone Scream at the mirror till your name starts to melt Your hands on my neck, were the best thing I've felt [Pre-Chorus] I'm not asking for love, just a taste of your skin The burn in my lungs when I breathe you in [Chorus] Break me slow, I’ll stay the same Say my name like it’s a game I’m wired wrong, I feel it too But every signal points to you You burn me down, I light again Like I was built to never end I know you’re poison in my veins But I keep begging for the pain [Verse 2] I bite my tongue till it bleeds just to feel close to you Trace your name on my thigh with a rusted screw I'd drink from your veins if you'd let me get near I'd thank you for every last scream in my ear I wait in the dark where you used to park Chewing on memories till they fall apart If you never come back, I'll still be right here Rotting in worship, drowning in fear [Pre-Chorus] I'm not asking for love, just a taste of your skin The burn in my lungs when I breathe you in [Chorus] Break me slow, I’ll stay the same Say my name like it’s a game I’m wired wrong, I feel it too But every signal points to you You burn me down, I light again Like I was built to never end I know you’re poison in my veins But I keep begging for the pain [Bridge] I’m so fucking empty, I’m rotting alive Without even the crumbs of you I won’t survive I don’t need saving anymore I dropped the knife, unlocked the door If you ruin me, at least it’s you At least it’s something I can choose There’s no glory in escape I let you rewrite all my faith If love’s a sickness, let me drown I’d rather sink than turn around [Final Chorus] Break me worse, I won’t complain Say you love me through the pain I lost the part that wanted out Now all I am is wrapped around Your every word, your every lie I trace them like a lullaby I know exactly what you are And I still give you all my heart [Outro] You don’t have to hold me right Just don’t leave me in the quiet
