I've been dancing alone
You never seem to come home at all
And maybe I'm the problem
But I can never follow your song
Maybe all I need
Is just a little sleep
Still I never can see
How much of blame here is owed me
And I've been putting it off
Every living word stuck in my thoughts
Maybe all I need
Is just a little sleep
But I can't shake
This doubt, this weight
And I'm trying to explain
You hold me down
I want to feel
To level myself out
I'm not who I wanted when I could be anything
I've been bathed in black just running back and forth, it seems
Coming down, I thought I'd hide it, buried in the trees
I just want to leave my mark on anything
A painted pattern stains my brain of memories and the bad dreams
I'm drying at the cracks and wrinkles, burning through my everything
It's so cold when you're away, but distance makes you everything
Find me at the bottom, won't you suffocate with me
It turns out regret is just as buoyant as you'd think
A painted pattern stains my brain of memories and the bad dreams
I'm drying at the cracks and wrinkles, burning through my everything
It's so cold when you're away, but distance makes you everything
I tried to lie, told you I had died to see the look on your face
I'm cutting ties to everything I can't replace
Tell me what you want to hear, I'll tell you in your favorite tone
Tell me what you want to hear, I'll say I'm better off alone
I'm sick of the sweet smell on your lips, but I can't seem to forget
The way my chest swells up and my heart parts my ribs
You've got me wrapped around your finger like veins around my eye
I'm holding on too tight to every single lie
Tell me what you want to hear, I'll tell you in your favorite tone
Tell me what you want to hear, I'll say I'm better off alone
How many days will pass?
How many days will pass through your fingers?
Sometimes I shake when I speak
You cut me down at the knees
And I shudder to think
That things are out of my reach
Darling it's like you can't see
You never gave anything to me
I gave you my love
I gave you my bones
Oh my forgotten one
I have the scraps of our love
Boxed up, waiting at home
Postmarked minutes away
Because you swear I can't stay
I'd give anything to wait
I gave you my love
I gave you my bones
And I've been trying to connect
With all the strength I have left
Only speak under my breath
Want you so bad I can feel
Your voice giving me chills
I always bend to your will
I tried, but I can't lie
