[Verse 1]

You play my heart like I play my guitar

Break all the strings cause I play way too hard

As fake as it sounds it was real from the start

Passion is everything until it's not


[Pre-Chorus]

I could tell it was downhill from here

I reversed engineered a plan out of my fears

They grew strong (way too strong)

I’ll hold on (not for long)

Was surprised this ain't where I belong


[Chorus]

Growing distant you could tell

I hate sleeping by myself

Is it selfish? I can't help it

Slowing drifting miles apart

Save yourself I’m crashing hard

Call it selfish I can't help it


[Verse 2]

I lie awake in my bed till it's dawn

It didn't get easier guess I was wrong

Scarеd to let go of what's already gone

Passion is еverything until it's not


[Pre-Chorus]

I could tell it was downhill from here

I look back on the years you held back but your tears

We're too strong (way too strong)

I'll hold on (not for long)

Was surprised this ain’t where I belong


[Chorus]

Growing distant you could tell

I hate sleeping by myself

Is it selfish? I can’t help it

Slowing drifting miles apart

Save yourself I'm crashing hard

Call it selfish I can’t help it
