Scald Lyrics by Paper Anthem

2024

[Verse]
You like the shower water hot, and I don't wanna burn
You never know just when to stop, and I don't ever learn
You always wanna order in, when I wanna go out
And when I don't know how to talk, you're always drowning me out
I'm used to sleeping with a fan, I'm guessing you'd rather not
But if you listened to my songs, you'd stop calling 'em pop
I know that we should call it off, but you keep turning me on
You never know just when to stop, and I don't ever learn

[Chorus]
All these places I left my heart
Can't you see that I'm left crumbling, stumbling?
Cannot get a word out when you look at me
Why can't I seem to face the truth?
It's that we're just too diffеrent
Live a lie or say goodbyе
Why am I not who I want to be?

[Verse]
INT. SHOWER - FLOOR
I grab the faucet and turn
Wrinkly fingers, threats of time, I'm enjoying the burn
And even though we called it off, you're still keeping me up
I'm still tracing all the threads from when you tangled me up
The truth is that we don't owe each other a lot
We're just rentals of a film we finally learned how to stop
I know you're thinking through the tears, but I'd still rather drink
Cause you don't know how to feel and I don't wanna think

[Chorus]
All these places I left my heart
Can't you see that I'm left crumbling, stumbling?
Cannot get a word out when you look at me
Why can't I seem to face the truth?
It's that we're just too different
Live a lie or say goodbye
Why am I not who I want to be?

[Chorus]
All these places I left my heart
Can't you see that I'm left crumbling, stumbling?
Cannot get a word out when you look at me
Why can't I seem to face the truth?
It's that we're just too different
Why am I, why am I, why am I not who I want to be?
Who I want to be
