[Verse 1] You cataloged the things I couldn't name The hole I dug, the dreams thrown away You treated my tears like the falling rain Then smiled each time you watched them fade You say you love the way I never dared You say you love the way I never dared But all you ever heard was broken parts [Chorus] You love me most when I can't breathe You love me most when I can't breathe Every bruise accounted So I've got to say You love me most when I can't breathe You love me most when I can't breathe [Verse 2] I curled up small inside my mouth A fact, a fraud, a curse pronounced Your hands, your kiss, confessed You never held, you just compressed You noticed how I winced when people stared So you turned blame into your private stage You dressed my shame in someone that once cared Then watched me fail and said it was my age [Pre-Chorus] You found pleasure in the things I did Called it deserved when I fell apart You said you loved the way I never dared But all you ever wanted was broken parts [Chorus] You love me most when I can't breathe You love me most when I can't breathe Every slight was counted Just to say You love me most when I can't breathe You love me most when I can't breathe You love me most when I can't breathe You love me most when I can't breathe [Bridge] I memorized the way you euthanized my guilt, my skin, my put-together pride You call them real, you call it what we are But love doesn't keep score from afar [Chorus] You love me most when I can't breathe You love me most when I can't breathe Every slight was counted Just to say You love me most when I can't breathe (Can't breathe) (Can't breathe) (Can't breathe) (Can't breathe) (Can't breathe) (Can't breathe)
