Lyrics
Verse 1
You knock like you mean it
But I don’t keep the door locked
I’m not hiding—just hollow
And the silence talks a lot
You’ve seen the mess I leave
Crumbs of trust on the floor
I don’t promise forever
I don’t even promise more
Pre-Chorus
You say I’ve got something
But it’s probably just smoke
I burn what I touch
And I choke on my own jokes
Chorus
So why you want me?
I’m not that great of a man
I’ll hold you like I mean it
Then forget your name by dawn
Why you stay when you know
I’m just passing through again?
I don’t fix, I don’t heal—
I just leave when the rain begins
Verse 2
You trace my bad decisions
Like they’re scripture on my skin
But I’m not a lesson
I’m the sin you keep letting in
I talk like I’m grounded
But I float when it suits me
I love like a rumor
Half-truth, half debris.
Pre-Chorus
You think you can change me
But I’m not clay—I’m rust
I look solid from far
But I crumble in your trust
Chorus: Drop
So why you want me?
I’m not that great of a man
I’ll kiss you like a habit
Then vanish like a plan
Why you wait by the phone
When I never call back?
I don’t write love letters—
I just scribble “sorry” on napkins
Bridge: Break
Maybe you like the wreckage
Maybe calm feels like death
Maybe you’re tired of good men
Who never steal your breath
But I’m not your redemption
I’m the crash you pretend
Is a kind of flying
Before the fall begins
Chorus: Drop
So why you want me?
I’m not that great of a man
I’ll hold you like I mean it
Then forget your name by dawn
Why you stay when you know
I’m just passing through again?
I don’t fix, I don’t heal—
I just leave when the rain begins
Outro
So go on—walk away
I won’t beg you to stay
‘Cause if you really knew me
You’d leave anyway…
Yeah, you’d leave anyway.
