Because I Know How This Ends Lyrics

So reckless

So juvenile

Why should you care at all

Like the cracks in your skin

Like the shake in your whisper

You can leave me in the back of your mind

Maybe the worst part of all of this

Is that I'm trying my best

So what happens next?

Because I know how this ends

A cycle you've seen before

Like waves break against the shore

This place looks different in the dark

And you can't live here anymore

You loved through the haze

Through the shake of my hands, through the shame

All you wanted from me was the same

But I've lost my way

And I'm so scared

You'll take the petals I lay on my chest

See just the dirt that is left

And be buried there

Your voice is the fingers round my wrist

Drag me to colours I forget I've missed

Because I know how this ends

Take back what I could freely give

I'd sooner die than let you in

Because I know how this ends

I will learn

How to love

Without fear

In my mind

I will learn

How to love

Without fear

In my mind

I truly can't recall

Do you think there was a time before?

Despite the doubts that I've fed for so long

I could have sworn I used to feel more

Though with all of these words I've said nothing

To the ones that made me good enough

I hope that one day I'll wake up

And know that I was loved

You loved through the haze

Through the shake of my hands, through the shame

All you wanted from me was the same

But I've lost my way

And I'm so scared

You'll take the petals I lay on my chest

See just the dirt that is left

And be buried there

Be buried there

I truly can't recall

Do you think there was a time before?

Despite the doubts that I've fed for so long

I could have sworn I used to feel more

Though with all of these words I've said nothing

To the ones that made me good enough

I hope that one day I'll wake up

And know that I am loved
