Here's my first confession
I knew it from the start
You were a storm in motion
And I was standing in the dark
I heard the warning sirens
I saw the cracks beneath our feet
But I called it love instead
And let it pull me underneath
Everybody told me
Some fires only burn
But I kept running toward you
Just to watch the whole thing hurt
Confession number one
I knew we'd come undone
I saw the ending in your eyes
Before we'd even begun
Confession number one
I stayed when I should run
Maybe I loved the chaos more
Than I ever loved someone
We were young and reckless
Turning scars into tattoos
Collecting broken promises
Like they were something to lose
Every goodbye was temporary
Every comeback felt brand new
We kept mistaking desperation
For something true
Everybody told me
Some hearts can't be repaired
But I kept holding onto pieces
Long after they disappeared
Confession number one
I knew we'd come undone
I saw the ending in your eyes
Before we'd even begun
Confession number one
I stayed when I should run
Maybe I loved the chaos more
Than I ever loved someone
And here's the part that scares me
If you called tonight
Would I still answer?
Would I still remember
The way you made me feel alive?
Or would I finally choose myself?
Confession number one
I'm finally moving on
Not because I stopped loving you
But because I've waited too long
Confession number one
This chapter's finally done
You were my favorite mistake
But not the only one
Here's my first confession
I knew
And I stayed anyway
