Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're the lump in my throat
You're the reason I choke
On the words that I wish I had said
You're the feeling of home
Smell of smoke on my coat
Miss you over and over again
[PreChorus]
Everybody says I'll survive, I'll be fine
But they don't know what it's like
[Chorus]
If it doesn't wake you up
In a violent sweat and steal your breath
If it doesn't make a cut
That just won't close, it wasn't love
So let me go
[Verse 2]
Did you learn how to drive?
Are you somewhere tonight
With someone tryna paint over me?
Oh, it hurts, but it should
It hurts, but it's good
'Cause the best kinda love scars' deep
[Chorus]
If it doesn't wake you up
In a violent sweat and steal your breath
If it doesn't make a cut
That just won't close, it wasn't love
So let me go
[PostChorus]
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
So let me go
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
So let me go
[PreChorus]
I'll survive, I'll be fine
But they don't know what it's like
[Chorus]
If it doesn't wake you up
In a violent sweat and steal your breath
If it doesn't make a cut
That just won't close, it wasn't love
So let me go
[PostChorus]
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
So let me go
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
So let me go
