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.
