He used to call it needing space Now he calls her hard to face Left the room and named it calm She called it quitting all along She was fire, sharp and bright He was quiet, closed and tight She rose louder when he withdrew He grew smaller when she accused He says she burned it to the ground She says he never stuck around Both of them still swear it’s true Depending on who is talking to you She broke him first He made it worse She tore the seams He killed her dreams She played her part He broke her heart She starts the fire He calls her liar He calls her anger something wild She calls his silence something cruel He says she carved into his soul She says he had to have control She wanted strength that didn’t leave He wanted peace, she couldn’t breathe She calls him distant, cold, unfair He says she’s never really there He was wrong She was right Until the story flipped that night..... She broke him first He made it worse She tore the seams He killed her dreams She played her part He broke her heart She starts the fire He calls her liar Still just blood beneath the skin Still just pride they’re hiding in Same wounds dressed in different names Same blame wearing different faces Every crowd will choose a side Every story shifts with time But underneath the smoke and spark They’re still fighting..... in the dark She broke him first He made it worse She tore the seams He killed her dreams She played her part He broke her heart She starts the fire He calls her liar....... She calls him liar..... He calls her liar...... She broke him first He made it worse She tore the seams He killed her dreams She played her part He broke her heart She starts the fire He calls her liar...... She starts the fire [outro] Same house Different rooms Same old war brand new wounds It never stops It just gets worse She starts the fire..... He calls her liar....
