Say My Name Like a Warning

Intro

Oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

I built a room inside my ribs

where nothing loud can get

I painted every wall the same

and forgot what I meant

My shadow sleeps beside my shoes

and calls it company

I taught my hands to hold the cold

so nothing else could leave

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I am the ache

Maybe I am the ache

Maybe you were the reason

I learned to stay awake

Chorus

Say my name like a warning

Say it slow like a scar

Say my name like a warning

I know exactly what you are

Say my name like a warning

Say it twice in the dark

Say my name like a warning

I never learned to stop

Post-Chorus

Na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na

Verse 2

I carved a map into my palm

of everywhere you ran

Each line a little fault of mine

each valley was a plan

My mother asked me who I was

I answered with your face

The mirror blinked and turned away

I took up all the space

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I am the ache

Maybe I am the ache

Maybe you were the reason

I forgot how to break

Chorus

Say my name like a warning

Say it slow like a scar

Say my name like a warning

I know exactly what you are

Say my name like a warning

Say it twice in the dark

Say my name like a warning

I never learned to stop

Bridge

I am the flood

I am the fuse

I am the thing you cannot lose

Hold me now

Hold me now

Breakdown

Tear it out

Tear it out

Tear the quiet from my mouth

Tear it out

Tear it out

Nothing soft survives the doubt

Chorus

Say my name like a warning

Say it slow like a scar

Say my name like a warning

I know exactly what you are

Say my name like a warning

Say it twice in the dark

Say my name like a warning

I never learned to stop

Post-Chorus

Na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na

Oh-oh
