________________________________________

[Verse 1]
I slammed the door but left it unlocked
Told you I’m fine with the ticking clock
Said “get out” while I waited by the phone
Watched your shadow leave, then felt alone

[Chorus]
I told you to go when I meant you should stay
Said I needed the night, but I wanted the day
Told you I’m done while I pulled you in tight
Said “it’s over,” but begged you to fight
Yeah, this love is a lie I believe anyway
I told you to go when I meant you should stay

[Verse 2]
I played cold but I watched your eyes
Spoke in silence, hoping you’d recognize
I let you win just to keep you near
Let you go with a breath and a bite

[Chorus]
Put your picture face-down on my shelf
So I could stare at nothing by myself
I told you to go when I meant you should stay
Said “don’t call” but checked twice a day
Built these walls just to draw you near
Screamed “leave me,” hoping you’d hear
Yeah, we dance in a war we both choreograph
I told you to go, but I never meant that

[Bridge]
My lips say “run,” my eyes say “hold”
You touch my hand—it’s hot and cold
I want peace but I thrive on the fight
We break at dawn, then kiss at midnight

[Final Chorus]
Put your picture face-down on my shelf
So I could stare at nothing by myself
I told you to go when I meant you should stay
Said “you hurt me,” but begged you to play
It's poison I sip with a toast to your name
Love and madness—they’re one and the same
Yeah, this isn’t healthy, but I like it that way
I told you to go when I meant you should stay
