Split Between Us

[Verse 1]
I keep my promise tight
Then I pull it apart
You hold me like a hand
I still keep a guard

You know I care for you
You know I really do
But when it gets too close
I turn into a bruise

[Pre-Chorus]
I want to stay
I want to stay
But something in me runs away

I try to hold
I try to hold
Then I let my own hands go

[Chorus]
I’m split between us
(split between us)
I want your love
But I lose my trust

I’m split between us
(split between us)
I care too hard
Then I back up fast

[Verse 2]
You read me like a page
That I left half torn
I say I’m here for you
Then I leave the door

It’s not that you’re too much
It’s not that you’re not enough
I just got scars on my tongue
And they show up when I’m touched

[Pre-Chorus]
I want to stay
I want to stay
But something in me runs away

I try to hold
I try to hold
Then I let my own hands go

[Chorus]
I’m split between us
(split between us)
I want your love
But I lose my trust

I’m split between us
(split between us)
I care too hard
Then I back up fast

[Bridge]
Maybe I fear the loss
More than I fear the lie
Maybe I cut the rope
Before it can ever tie

If you can wait on me
I’ll learn how to stay
I’m tired of loving
Then slipping away

[Final Chorus]
I’m split between us
(split between us)
I want your love
But I lose my trust

I’m split between us
(split between us)
I care too hard
Then I back up fast

I’m split between us
(split between us)
I want to choose
What I almost had
