Lyrics

You show up late like you always do
Act like nothing's wrong, but I see right through
You drop your bag at the edge of my bed
All that noise starts running through my head
You say you're fine, but your voice says no
I can see the cracks begin to show
I tell myself I should close that door
But I pull you in and I beg for more

I still stay, even though you'll just tear me down
I can't let go of this mess I've wrapped around

You only love me after midnight
When no one's watching and your walls cave in
You always promise we'll try daylight
Then comes the sunrise and you're gone again
I tell myself that I should close that door
But next time, I'll still beg for more

You crawl in close and you breathe me in
Your shaking hands start to calm again
Your heartbeat settles when it hits my chest
Like I'm the only place you get to rest
For just a moment, everything feels true
Until the sunlight comes breaking through

I still stay, even though it just breaks me down
Can't let go of this mess I keep circling around

You only love me after midnight
And I confused your warmth with something real
You always promise we'll try daylight
But every morning proves the way you feel
I tell myself that I deserve much more
And maybe next time, I won't open that door
