[Verse 1]

He’s perfect, so gentle, the kind girls write poems ’bout

Dinner and candles and promises pouring out

But lately the sweetness is tasting a little off

Something’s shiftin’, baby

[Pre-Chorus]

Fadin’ (Fadin’) backwards (Backwards)

Right in my arms somehow

Bed (Bed), Empty (Empty)

Where I wanted him to lock me down

Feels so somber, baby

[Chorus]

’Cause we’re bricked up, like a brick wall

Standin’ in the center of my heart

I keep knockin’, screamin’, scratchin’

But you won’t let me get that far

You used to live for every touch from me

Now I’m beggin’ just to not fall apart

Oh, we’re bricked up, like a brick wall

Somethin’ in between us, tearin’ us apart

[Verse 2]

My tricks, my routines, all the things that once pulled you in

A lace dress he fucked me in won’t make him look up again

You slam the door in my face at a restaurant

Pickin’ fights at parties

[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe (Maybe) you’re leavin’ (Leavin’)

And practicing life without me

Red flags (Wavin’), heartbreak (Cravin’)

I’m drownin’ in what-ifs lately

I might sound pathetic, maybe—

But I’m yours, baby

[Chorus]

’Cause we’re bricked up, like a brick wall

Standin’ in the center of my heart

I keep knockin’, screamin’, scratchin’

But you won’t let me get that far

You used to live for every touch from me

Now I’m beggin’ just to not fall apart

Oh, we’re bricked up, like a brick wall

Somethin’ in between us, tearin’ us apart

[Bridge]

You used to kiss me like the world would end

Now you avoid me in a crowded room

You used to tell me I was heaven-sent

Now every word you say feels like a bruise

Come back to me, come back to the boy I once knew

[Outro]

You used to live for every touch from me
