I'm not looking at the empty beer cans
I'm not feeling the bruises
I'm not tasting the tears, the blood
I'm not breaking, not fragile
I'm not leaving, never leaving you

Take your hands off the doorknob
Throw your fist at the wall
Look at me
I said, Look At Me
I'm fine
I can take it

Maybe we're not as crazy as we seem
Maybe this is my fault
Maybe we just love the way we hurt
Maybe this is love
Maybe we just love it

Stand there and watch me cry
Hear me
I know you didn't mean it
I know you love me
I know we will do this again

It's ok
Put down the keys
Let me hold you
I won't tell anyone
No one will know
It's our secret, Hidden by the light

We can scratch, crawl, break, bite, punch
Love
We can look at each other cry
We can hurt each other
We can lie
To ourselves
To Everyone

I love you too much to walk away
