Lyrics

I wake up careful, barely breathing,
Tiptoe through the morning light.
One wrong word and the walls start shaking,
Another spark in another fight.
I hold my tongue like it's made of glass,
Try to keep the peace we had.
But loving you feels like walking blindfolded
Through a storm that's turning bad.

You say you want honesty, then you want silence,
I never know which one you mean.
Your moods hit hard like sudden thunder,
From calm to chaos in between.
I try so hard just to keep you smiling,
But nothing ever seems to stay.
Every step I take is a gamble,
Every night another day I pray.

(Chorus)
'Cause I'm living in a minefield,
Never know what's under my feet.
One small move and the ground erupts,
And I'm thrown back into the heat.
I'm giving you everything I've got,
But it's never enough, it seems.
Loving you is a battlefield,
And I'm losing pieces of me.

I rehearse my words before I speak them,
Still somehow they come out wrong.
You say I don't listen, but I'm listening so hard
It's been ringing in my head too long.
I keep hoping for a softer moment,
A place where we can finally breathe.
But peace with you is a fleeting shadow
That slips away when I reach.

(Bridge)
Maybe you're hurting from something I can't see,
Maybe you're fighting ghosts that won't let you be.
But I'm running out of ways to hold this line,
Running out of pieces that still feel like mine.

(Chorus Reprise)
'Cause I'm living in a minefield,
Never know what's under my feet.
One small move and the ground erupts,
And I'm thrown back into the heat.
I'm giving you everything I've got,
But it's never enough, it seems.
Loving you is a battlefield,
And I'm losing pieces of me. (pieces of me)

Maybe someday you'll see the damage,
The cracks we never meant to make.
But until then I'm walking careful,
Counting every breath I take.
I still love you, but I'm tired of bleeding
For a peace that never stays real.
I'm a man in love with a beautiful danger,
Trying to survive your minefield.
