The Price to Keep versuri

The Price to Keep lyrics by Zen Cat

Verse 1
You Close Your Eyes When I Say I Love You
Like You’re Hoping It’ll Pass If You Don’t Breathe
I Hold You Soft Like Something Borrowed
You Let Me Like You’re Planning When To Leave
I Trace Your Scars Like Secret Poems
You Laugh It Off And Check Your Phone

Pre-Chorus
And I Tell Myself It’s Better This Way
If I Don’t Expect
You Won’t Betray

Chorus
You Weren’t Built To Stay
But God, You Fit Like Home
Your Name’s Still Hanging
On My Tongue Like Smoke
You Say It’s Love
But You Move Like Fear
I Lose A Piece Of Me
Each Time You’re Near
And I Keep Holding On
Like You Might Say
You Weren’t Built To Leave
But I’m In The Way

Verse 2
You Sleep On My Side Of The Mattress
Then Say I Don’t Do Mornings Well
I Make Us Coffee Like We’re Stable
But Your Silence Always Rings A Bell
You Kiss My Neck Then Change The Subject
I Nod Along Like That’s Enough

Pre-Chorus
And Maybe I Confuse What Love Should Feel
But Broken Things Still
Feel Like Real

Chorus
You Weren’t Built To Stay
But I’m Still Making Space
I Talk To Ghosts
That Wear Your Face
You Love In Whispers
Leave In Songs
And I Keep Acting
Like Nothing’s Wrong
And Maybe You Were Just
The Price I Pay
For Trying To Keep
What Walks Away

Bridge
I Never Asked You To Be Perfect
Only To Mean It When You Stayed
But You Were Born With Lightning Hands
And I Was Rain
You Danced Away

Final Chorus
You Weren’t Built To Stay
But You Came Close
You Lit A Fire
And Left The Smoke
Now Every Bed
Just Feels Like Proof
That I Knew You
But Not The Truth
You Were Love
Just Dressed In Gray
And I Loved You Most
The Day
You Slipped Away
