Take Your Lines

Intro

Mm-mm, oh

Yeah, yeah, ooh

Verse

You left the light on in my apartment like it was a taunt

Kept a little part of me like a souvenir you pawned

Said you were honest, said you weren't the kind to run

But you tied your lies in ribbons and you called them fun

I watched the pieces fall where your footprints used to be

Like cheap confetti scattered on the floor of memory

You played me like a mirror, cracked it with one throw

Now every time I pass it I remember what I know

Pre-chorus

You had a way of smiling like it was nothing, like a knife (like a knife)

You wore the truth like fabric that you’ll burn the next night (the next night)

I gave you songs, you gave me silence and a bruise

I should've known bye-byes were your favorite kind of news

Chorus

So take your lines, take your plans, take the map you made of us (take it)

Take the calls at midnight and your selfish kind of hush (take it)

I’m done tracing your name on the back of my hands (my hands)

I’m done learning ways to make a ghost stand (stand)

Oh-oh, oh-oh, na-na, na-na, hey

I’m done with the way you pretend to care, uh-huh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah yeah, hey

Watch me turn my leftover hurt into a prayer, oh

Verse

Remember the coffee we never finished? I burned it on purpose

All the postcards you promised to send, I used them for coasters

You had a way of signing love appointments with a grin

Then canceling at the last second, leaving me to call it sin

You taught me how to wait for somebody who won’t arrive

You taught me to apologize for learning how to survive

But I’m picking up my rhythm where you used to take the lead

I’m planting louder songs where you planted greed

Pre-chorus

You turned my mornings into riddles I won't solve (I won't)

You cast your selfish vote and watched me revolve (watch me)

I gave you skies, you gave me rooms full of doubt

Now I’m opening windows and I'm letting myself out

Chorus

So take your lines, take your plans, take the map you made of us (take it)

Take the calls at midnight and your selfish kind of hush (take it)

I’m done tracing your name on the back of my hands (my hands)

I’m done learning ways to make a ghost stand (stand)

Oh-oh, oh-oh, na-na, na-na, hey

I’m done with the way you pretend to care, uh-huh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah yeah, hey

Watch me turn my leftover hurt into a prayer, oh

Bridge

You were a short storm with a long fuse, boom, boom

All that thunder for a moment, then you left the room

I kept the parts that still reminded me I’m brave (I’m brave)

I traded your shadow for a better kind of brave (ooh)

Say what you want in the city or the suburbs or the rain

But I’m rewriting every chapter where you left a stain

No more postcards, no more coasters, no more borrowed time

I’m folding up the moments and I’m sealing the line

Chorus

So take your lines, take your plans, take the map you made of us (take it)

Take the calls at midnight a
