Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh
Mm-hmm
Ah
[Verse 1]
I pick the door that leads to ruin
Every single time
Something in me craves the wreckage
Something wants the ache
I know the better road by heart
Still I turn the other way
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I was born to burn
Maybe I was taught to bleed
Maybe every hand I reach for
I'm the one who makes it leave
[Chorus]
I break my own heart
Over and over
I break my own heart
And call it my fault
I break my own heart
Over and over
Nobody else has to
[Verse 2]
I carve the wound before it closes
Salt it while it heals
Some quiet part of me decides
That pain is what I've earned
I lock the door and hide the handle
Tell myself it's for the best
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I was born to burn
Maybe I was taught to bleed
Maybe every hand I reach for
I'm the one who makes it leave
[Chorus]
I break my own heart
Over and over
I break my own heart
And call it my fault
I break my own heart
Over and over
Nobody else has to
[Bridge]
Stay away
Stay away
Keep them far from all this damage
Let them never learn my name
Stay away
Stay away
I am safer when I'm lonely
I am calmer when I'm cold
[Chorus]
I break my own heart
Over and over
I break my own heart
And call it my fault
I break my own heart
Over and over
Nobody else has to
[Outro]
Over and over
Over and over
Mm
