zen cat - the price to keep lyrics

[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 sp+ce
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
