[Verse 1]
You come and go like a warning sign
Pull me in close, then you draw the line
I wait it out like I always do
Hoping this time you'll be staying too
But every word is a disappearing act
You leave me here with the echo back
And every time that you slip away
I feel the urge to do the same
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause if you're smoke, then I'm a spark
Trying to glow inside the dark
Thought you broke me, here's the truth
I was trying to fade from you
[Chorus]
You vanish
Then you're right on my skin
Like wе start, then stop, then start again
But the twist that I could nеver admit
I'm the one who wanted to vanish
You're fading, but I'm fading inside
Hiding where the heartache can't find
And the truth I finally understand is
I'm the one who wanted to vanish
[Verse 2]
You touch my hand like a second chance
Then disappear like a half-trained dance
I hold my breath just to keep you near
But it turns out I don't want me here
We play pretend that we're doing fine
Both of us scared of the bottom line
You leave again and I act surprised
But I was gone somewhere inside
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're the storm, I'm the rain
Trying to fall and not explain
Thought you made me run from damage
But I'm the one who wanted to vanish
[Chorus]
You vanish
Then you're right on my skin
Like we start, then stop, then start again
But the twist that I could never admit
I'm the one who wanted to vanish
You're fading, but I'm fading inside
Hiding where the heartache can't find
And the truth I finally understand is
I'm the one who wanted to vanish
[Bridge]
Maybe I was leaving long before you left
Maybe I was breaking with every breath
Maybe all your ghosts were shadows of mine
Two disappearances crossing in time
[Breakdown]
Vanish
I was slipping through the seams
Vanish
You were only half the theme
Vanish
I was running from the truth
Vanish
I was vanishing from you
[Chorus]
You vanish
Then you're right on my skin
Like we start, then stop, then start again
But the twist that I could never admit
I'm the one who wanted to vanish
You're fading, but I'm fading inside
Hiding where the heartache can't find
And the truth I finally understand is
I'm the one who wanted to vanish
