Break Me Gently

[Verse 1]

We turn a small fight to a car crash, both

Talking like we leaving, but we stay that close

Screenshots, saved in your phone like proof

Every old wound that you never let loose

You keep score, I keep quiet in the room

You light a match, I just watch it bloom

[Chorus]

If you gon' break me, break me gently

Don’t say you need me, then resent me

You hold my heart like it’s against you

Turn every soft word into a weapon

If you gon' leave, then walk out empty

Don’t take the better parts you lent me

You twist my love until it bends you

We both lost, but you still call it heaven (oh)

[Verse 2]

You want a villain you can point at, right

Paint my name black, tell ’em all your side

I play along, let you win that fight

Still I’m the ghost that you blame at night

We break up, make up, same damn day

Your lips say “forever,” but your eyes say “stray”

You throw “I’m fine” like it’s in my face

But you only cry when you need your way

[Chorus]

If you gon' break me, break me gently

Don’t say you need me, then resent me

You hold my heart like it’s against you

Turn every soft word into a weapon (yeah)

If you gon' leave, then walk out empty

Don’t take the better parts you lent me

You twist my love until it bends you

We both lost, but you still call it heaven (heaven)
