Tear Me Open (Maybe)

Verse 1

I cracked the window open just to hear the rain

Spent the whole night talking to a ghost again

Every promise that you made came back to me

Folded up and torn

Held against my chest like it was something I could keep

Pre-Chorus

And I keep rewriting what I should have said

But the ink runs red

Chorus

I am not the wound you left behind

I am not the boy who waited up all night

Tear me open

Tear me open

Let the quiet out

Post-Chorus

Let it out let it out

Let it out let it out

Verse 2

Counted all the exits but I never moved

You were somewhere else and I was always here

I rehearsed a thousand ways to let you go

Practiced every word

But my hands still shake whenever someone says your name

Pre-Chorus

And I keep repeating what I never said

But the words come red

Chorus

I am not the wound you left behind

I am not the boy who waited up all night

Tear me open

Tear me open

Let the quiet out

Post-Chorus

Let it out let it out

Let it out let it out

Bridge

Maybe I was only ever a place you stayed

Maybe you were only ever a lesson learned

Maybe I am better when I am alone

Maybe

Maybe

Breakdown

Say it

Say it to my face

Say it

Say it to my face

Chorus

I am not the wound you left behind

I am not the boy who waited up all night

Tear me open

Tear me open

Let the quiet out

Post-Chorus

Let it out let it out

Let it out let it out

Let it out
