[Verse 1]
I keep my faults in a line
Like receipts on the table
Every “sorry” I said
Still ain’t made me stable
You loved me in pieces
I tried to call it home
But your hands stayed guarded
And I felt that in my bones
I replay the last night
Your eyes on the floor
I was begging for warmth
You were reaching for the door
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know, I know
I carry some of this weight
But you were ice in my palms
And I broke at that gate
[Chorus]
I shut down
I shut down
When you couldn’t love me back
I shut down
I shut down
And I still can’t take that back
(Shut down)
You changed me
[Verse 2]
Now I flinch at the silence
When a room gets too still
I got trust in the gutter
And a heart that won’t heal
I was all in the fire
You were half out the frame
So I blamed my reflection
Every time you said my name
And yeah, maybe I wrecked it
Yeah, maybe I did
But your cold had a way
Of making me quit
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know, I know
I helped build the crack
But your love wouldn’t land
So I pulled my chest back
[Chorus]
I shut down
I shut down
When you couldn’t love me back
I shut down
I shut down
And I still can’t take that back
(Shut down)
You changed me
[Bridge]
I don’t hate you
I just hate what I became
A man with a locked-up heart
Calling pain by your name
If I’m honest
I was trying to stay
But when your love went missing
I went missing that same day
[Final Chorus]
I shut down
I shut down
When you couldn’t love me back
I shut down
I shut down
And I still can’t take that back
(Shut down)
You changed me
(You changed me)
I’m still in the dark
(Still in the dark)
Yeah, I shut down
