[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I want the fall, but not the fight
I want the dark to feel like light

[Chorus]
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

[Drop]
(Oh-oh-oh) I break my own heart
(Oh-oh-oh) I break my own heart

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I want the truth, but not the scars
I want to feel without the guard

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Final Chorus]
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

[Outro]
(Oh-oh-oh) I break my own heart
(Oh-oh-oh) I break my own heart
