And maybe our relationship was brittle at best but still I trusted anyway and gave you my weight A naive show of faith in what you gave before I had even stopped to consider what our delicate frame could take And I don't know if it was god or some old ghost but something brought me back after every single fall So bruise by bruise I somehow in my blind eyed optimism convinced myself that you were worth it all That somehow there was something cosmicly important in the way you entered and filled a room But I let you into every part of me before I was ready to be known I let you in too fast and far too soon So now I keep myself up at night picking at our past trying to find the places I fell through And I think it's pretty telling that whenever i tried to open up you only heard what applied to you And I couldn't hate you I couldn't condemn you to hell But I can't love you And I can't wish you well Some things have to burn out on their own But I never learned to leave fire alone.
