lyrics
one night in the darkness at the plaza hotel
she confessed the love she could never tell
in the moment, a culminated desire
a kiss of water in a burning fire
and i know i shouldn't, but i can't hold back
i know i shouldn't let it take this track
attracted to a gorgeous mess
one slip of control, brazen and bold
now i can't forget what i cannot own
every morning, every night its the same
holding on giving breath to a tiny flame
you can try to cover up
you can try to play it off
you can choose to lock it up
but soon it finds a new way out
one week since we spoke
you sink what you float,
you speak but you choke
with a message dry and cold
say you’re sorry, say it never can be
say it’s best just left as a memory
she can make you hurt, she can make you sting
she can make you love, she can make you sing
then i see you, you come back
changing up your tune
like it wasn't ever anything
like it wasn't ever true
then i see you, you’re crying
you’re so hard to understand
you keep leading me ‘round in circles
and changing all your plans
she confessed the love she could never tell
in the moment, a culminated desire
a kiss of water in a burning fire
and i know i shouldn't, but i can't hold back
i know i shouldn't let it take this track
attracted to a gorgeous mess
one slip of control, brazen and bold
now i can't forget what i cannot own
every morning, every night its the same
holding on giving breath to a tiny flame
you can try to cover up
you can try to play it off
you can choose to lock it up
but soon it finds a new way out
one week since we spoke
you sink what you float,
you speak but you choke
with a message dry and cold
say you’re sorry, say it never can be
say it’s best just left as a memory
she can make you hurt, she can make you sting
she can make you love, she can make you sing
then i see you, you come back
changing up your tune
like it wasn't ever anything
like it wasn't ever true
then i see you, you’re crying
you’re so hard to understand
you keep leading me ‘round in circles
and changing all your plans
