I taught you how to walk away

Lyrics [Verse 1] I leave the cupboard open, let the cold air in You close it without speaking, like you always do I make a small mistake and turn it into war Then ask why you look tired when I walk through the door [Pre-Chorus] I know the shape of your silence I know the weight behind your eyes Still I keep choosing the sentence That makes you stay and makes you cry [Chorus] I know I'm ruining us slowly One careless match at a time I call it needing to be honest When I'm only trying to win the fight You keep handing me your heart I keep testing where it breaks If you leave, I can't blame you I taught you how to walk away [Verse 2] Your blue sweater's on the sofa, folded from last week I moved it just to prove that you were crowding me You said you missed the person who could make you laugh I heard an accusation and threw the moment back [Pre-Chorus] I know the door is still open I know you're waiting in the hall But every time you reach toward me I build another wall [Chorus] I know I'm ruining us slowly One careless match at a time I call it needing to be honest When I'm only trying to win the fight You keep handing me your heart I keep testing where it breaks If you leave, I can't blame you I taught you how to walk away [Bridge] I could say I was afraid I could blame the years before But fear is not a pardon And you are not a war If love is meant to hold us Why am I gripping so tight? I see your hand on the doorknob And finally understand tonight [Final Chorus] I know I'm ruining us slowly I know the fault is mine You shouldn't have to disappear To make me see the signs You keep handing me your heart I keep treating it like proof If you leave, I can't blame you But I wish I'd stopped before I ruined you [Outro] The cupboard's closed, the room is still Your sweater's gone from the chair I finally know what I was doing I just learned too late to care
