Lyrics
[verse]
She says the windows rattle when I raise my voice
Says the silence after feels like there's no choice
I know I burn too hot, I know I say things wrong
But baby when you leave me, feels like I don't belong
We break the dishes, then we sweep up all the shards
Say we're done for good, then we're back in each other's arms
It's a merry-go-round painted with a bruise and a kiss
I keep telling myself that this time will be different than this
[chorus]
Say you'll leave me, then you're right back trying
Both of us feeding a fire that keeps denying
If it's a war, then love, we're both the reason
Burning down the same house every season
Neither one of us walks, neither one of us stays
[verse]
She knows exactly where to twist the knife in deep
I know exactly how to say the words that make her weep
We're a matchstick and a puddle full of gasoline
Every time we swear it's over, we still reconvene
I don't know how to leave and I don't know how to stay
Every sunrise brings another version of yesterday
Maybe love was never meant to hurt this much
Maybe I've been mistaking chains for love's own touch
[chorus]
Say you'll leave me, then you're right back trying
Both of us feeding a fire that keeps denying
If it's a war, then love, we're both the reason
Burning down the same house every season
Neither one of us walks, neither one of us stays
[bridge]
(spoken/sung softly)
Maybe tonight's the night I finally set it down
Maybe tonight's the night we both walk out of town
Or maybe morning comes and we're right back where we stood
Chasing a feeling that never turned out good
[chorus]
Say you'll leave me, then you're right back trying
Both of us feeding a fire that keeps denying
If it's a war, then love, we're both the reason
Burning down the same house every season
Neither one of us walks, neither one of us stays
