I want fire, but I fear the flame

Say I’m fine, but I’m not the same

You get close, I pull away

I turn love into ricochet

Every touch feels like a dare

Every truth, too much to bear

You reach out, I lose control

It’s not you, it’s the war I hold

I want the fall, but not the fight

I want the dark to feel like light

I break my own heart

Before you get the chance

Build it up just to watch it collapse

I want love, but I don’t know how

To let it stay when it’s here right now

I burn what’s gold, I tear apart

I want love, but I break my own heart

(Oh-oh-oh) I break my own heart

(Oh-oh-oh) I break my own heart

Every word feels like a test

Every promise, second guess

I’m the storm I can’t outrun

Want to heal, but I come undone

You see light where I see cracks

Try to love me, I push back

I want peace, but I crave pain

I keep losing, call it safe

I want the truth, but not the scars

I want to feel without the guard

I break my own heart

Before you get the chance

Build it up just to watch it collapse

I want love, but I don’t know how

To let it stay when it’s here right now

I burn what’s gold, I tear apart

I want love,.but I break my own heart

Don’t save me, I’m the fire and the spark

I light it up, then fall apart

I want love that doesn’t fade

But I keep running from the flames

I break my own heart

Before you get the chance

Build it up just to watch it collapse

I want love, but I’m scared of real

So I turn it into something I can’t feel

I burn what’s gold, I tear apart

I want love, but I break my own heart

(Oh-oh-oh) I break my own heart

(Oh-oh-oh) I break my own heart
