March Might Bring You Back

You packed your fear in a suitcase

Called it truth

Then you drove away

Every soft thing that we built up

You painted black so you could feel safe

Turned my name into a nightmare

Like you had to burn the proof

Every story that you tell them

Cuts you further from the truth

But you can't outrun

What we almost were

Every clock still ticks

Every month still turns

March might bring you back

Or it might just bring the rain

I'm standing in the doorway

Let it wash over my shame

You rewrote me as a monster

But I remember holding your hand

If the spring cracks open your armor

I'll be right here

I'll be right here where we began

You were shaking when you slammed me

Saying you're the reason I feel this way

Built a fortress out of anger

So you'd never have to stay

But in the quiet at your kitchen sink

When the coffee's gone

And it's just your breath

Do you see me in the window

Or just the villain in your head?

You can change my face

You can change my name

But your heartbeat knows

I was never what you claimed

March might bring you back

Or it might just bring the rain

I'm standing in the doorway

Let it wash over my shame

You rewrote me as a monster

But I remember holding your hand

If the spring cracks open your armor

I'll be right here

I'll be right here where we began

I don't want an apology

I just want the real you back

Not the frightened ghost

That learned to attack

You can call me

You can curse me

You can scream right through the line (yeah)

I'll take every broken version

If it means you're still

Still partly mine (oh)
