we wrote our own story
but it got away from us
breaking out and breaking down
broken love and broken hearts
what we tried to fix we just tore apart
we tried too much and tried too hard
we didn't need fixing, baby, because broken is what worked
when we tried to love we just got hurt
we fell apart and fell back together
some loves are not meant to be
but that doesn't mean they aren't broken perfectly
sometimes we don't need to love out loud
or stop and wonder "how?"
that would just make things worse
because, baby, this love is cursed
smeared lipstick and pretty lies
stars are glowing in your eyes
we don't need light to see
because shots fired in daylight always bleed
bring me life or bring me death
i'm ready for risk and i'm short on breath
we don't need perfect and we don't need rebirth
because, baby, this love is cursed
we don't need "i love you" and we don't need gifts
that's for amateurs who still believe in fairy tales and rosy lips
there's no room for hellos or goodbyes
just locked doors and pretty eyes
pretty eyes
locked doors
pretty lies
watch me run and watch me fall
catch me quick and hold me tall
don't worry about life or forever
just bring me close and whisper: "we can be together"
you said you loved me
and i said really
we don't need perfect and we don't need rebirth
because, baby, this love is cursed
