[Intro]
I know the facts that cut like knives, yet I lean into the lies I tell myself
I whisper calm, I crave the warmth, while walls keep turning into shells
[Verse 1]
I search for eyes that say I’m worth a while
But I replay every bruise in a softer smile
I’m drawing lines in sand you can’t see through
Love’s a lighthouse that keeps pulling me to you
[Pre-Chorus]
Push and pull, I’m spinning down the fault line
Truth on my tongue, but I swallow it in wine
[Chorus]
Why does the truth feel cold when the lie feels warm?
Why does the shelter tear apart the storm?
I want to heal, but I’m afraid to be alone—again
Love pulls me in, then traps me in the same old refrain
[Verse 2]
I know the patterns like a map I shouldn’t redraw
Compassion’s a mirror that reflects a flawed flaw
I nod to wisdom, then reach for the familiar kiss
The cruel comfort of a well-worn, toxic abyss
[Pre-Chorus]
I tell myself I’ll break the cycle this time
But the chorus of promises tastes sweet in the mind
[Chorus]
Why does the truth feel cold when the lie feels warm?
Why does the shelter tear apart the storm?
I want to heal, but I’m afraid to be alone—again
Love pulls me in, then traps me in the same old refrain
[Bridge]
If I chose courage over comfort, would I survive the night?
If I held my own breath, could I rewrite what’s right?
The heart says stay, while reason begs to flee
Can I learn to love the parts that won’t betray me?
[Chorus]
Why does the truth feel cold when the lie feels warm?
Why does the shelter tear apart the storm?
I want to heal, but I’m afraid to be alone—again
Love pulls me in, then traps me in the same old refrain
[Outro]
Between truth and tenderness, I stand at the door
I’ll choose the morning light I’ve never learned to adore
If self-preservation is a path I grow to see, I’ll walk it free
Still wondering if love can be—without hurting me
