Favorite kind of dangerous

[Verse 1]
I built a home out of hope and damage,
you moved in with a smile I believed.
But every word spoke in your language,
every shadow whispered, “don’t be naïve.”
I held you like the answer to a prayer,
but I’ve learned even prayers can lie.
You swore you’d never disappear,
yet I’ve seen that look in your eyes.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep waiting for the floor to give,
for the walls to crack, to cave in.
You say love, but what kind of love
has to live half-hidden?
[Chorus]
You’re my favorite kind of dangerous,
a fire I can’t let go.
I’m dancing in the embers,
burning just to know
if the next time you touch me
will be the last time you stay.
’Cause I love you like I trust you…
and I don’t trust you anyway.
[Verse 2]
Your promises are painted windows,
pretty, but they don’t keep out the rain.
I’ve learned to smile through the quiet,
dress up the cracks with your name.
Every “forever” tastes like “maybe,”
every kiss hides an alibi.
And I’m too scared to call you baby,
’cause I don’t wanna hear goodbye.
[Bridge]
I’ve tried to hold my breath,
tried to let it slide,
but trust doesn’t grow
where truth can’t survive.
I want to believe you,
God, I want it so bad…
but my hands are on the match
and my heart’s on the glass.
[Chorus]
You’re my favorite kind of dangerous,
a fire I can’t let go.
I’m dancing in the embers,
burning just to know
if the next time you touch me
will be the last time you stay.
’Cause I love you like I trust you…
and I don’t trust you anyway.
[Outro]
So I’ll keep loving you carefully,
like I’m walking home alone at night.
Not calling it a tragedy,
just something I don’t survive twice.
