Walking on Eggshells
©Copyright 1996

Verse 1

We used to burn like a city full of lights at night,

Now every word that I speak starts another fight,

You take a breath and I’m already on defence,

Tiptoeing round your moods, choking on the suspense.

Verse 2

You say you’re breaking and I know that pain is real,

But you twist every little thing I say into a blade of steel,

I’m not your doctor, not your enemy or saint,

But you paint me as the villain every time you feel that ache.

Chorus

This isn’t love, it’s a loaded gun on the table,

Walking on eggshells just to keep you stable,

I’m bleeding out from the cuts you “didn’t mean”,

If this is what we’ve come to, I want out of this damn scene.

Instrumental

Verse 3

We’ve got years in the walls, ghosts in every room,

I keep hoping that the sun will cut through all this gloom,

But I’m tired of being collateral in every storm you start,

I don’t know if I still love you or just fear ripping us apart.

Chorus

This isn’t love, it’s a war I never chose,

Dodging every trigger that you keep too close,

I’m burning out, and I’m done playing clean,

If this phase never passes, I’m walking out of this scene.
