You Turn the Key - Inph

[Intro - Male Vocal] I know the sound of your leaving By the way you close the door. [Verse 1 - Male Vocal] You leave your perfume in the hallway Like a dare I can't refuse. I keep my keys beside the window Like I'm waiting for the truth. You kiss me like an apology, Then find the bruise I never show. Every time I swear I'm finished, You're the first place that I go. [Verse 2 - Female Vocal] You know the seam beneath my armor Where one small word gets through. You can make me feel forgiven, Then make me hate what I do. I leave before you leave me, Make cruelty look like choice, Then hear your car beneath my window And go running to the noise. [Pre-Chorus - Alternating Vocals] [Male] You call the ache devotion. [Female] You call the damage fate. [Both] We know exactly what we're doing And we do it anyway. [Chorus - Both Vocals, Full Harmonies] I'm drowning 'cause I can't breathe when you're not next to me, Drowning in an ocean of self-made misery. You feel like home beneath my skin, You turn the key and let the dark in. I know your love can ruin me, Still, you're the only shore I see. We pull each other under slow And still can't make ourselves let go. [Verse 3 - Male Vocal] Your coat is on my chair again, My better sense is gone. You say you'll only stay a minute, Then the blue light turns to dawn. We know the words that break us; We know exactly where to aim. Then wake tangled up together And call it love again. [Verse 4 - Female Vocal] I tell myself I hate you When I hear you down the hall, But your hand against my shoulder Makes a liar of it all. I can read you like a warning; You can read me like a wound. Every time I swear it's over, I never change the locks. [Pre-Chorus - Alternating Vocals] [Male] You call the ache devotion. [Female] You call the damage fate. [Both] We know exactly what we're doing And we do it anyway. [Chorus - Both Vocals, Full Harmonies] I'm drowning 'cause I can't breathe when you're not next to me, Drowning in an ocean of self-made misery. You feel like home beneath my skin, You turn the key and let the dark in. I know your love can ruin me, Still, you're the only shore I see. We pull each other under slow And still can't make ourselves let go. [Bridge - Alternating Vocals, Gradually Building] [Male] If I shut the door, I'll miss you. [Female] If I let you in, I'll break. [Male] I can name the ways you hurt me. [Female] I can name the ones I make. [Both - Emotional Harmonies] We love who we are in the dark, Hate who we become at dawn. I'd leave you if I knew how, But I don't know how to want you gone. [Final Chorus - Both Vocals, Powerful Harmonies] I'm drowning 'cause I can't breathe when you're not next to me, Drowning in an ocean of self-made misery. You feel like home beneath my skin, You turn the key and let the dark in. I know your love can ruin me, Still, you're the only shore I see. We pull each other under slow And still can't make ourselves let go. [Outro - Male and Female Harmonizing, Heavy Reverb] [Female] Don't call this fate. [Male] Don't call it love. [Both] But if you call tonight... I'll still pick up. [Both - Fading Harmonies] I still don't know how to breathe...
