Just cleared the air
I was so scared to break you
But too blind to care
I painted me wiser
And covered my eyes
•
Shrouded in shame
•
Proud of my pain
•
Layered with lies
The tears that dried and stained our skin
The cracks that grew and spread us thin
The pace at which I run from it
The memories I can't stomach
The harm that I've done
The shell I've become
The beast that stays on my heels
Reminder that's all too real
Of harm that I've done
Of what I've become
This wasn't what I wanted
Or what you deserved
And I was so sure I could fix it
Before you returned
•
But with bricks and mortar
•
We sealed our borders off
The tears that dried and stained our skin
The empty room where love had been
The pace at which I run from it
The memories I can't stomach
The harm that I've done
The shell I've become
The beast that stays on my heels
Reminder that's all too real
Of harm that I've done
Of what I've become

Sunken and slow
You turn your eyes away from me
You're moving off
It's all wrong
No It's all wrong
Sunken and slow
You turn your eyes away from here
Fought for so long
It's all wrong
No it's all wrong
I wish I would've said it Just cleared the air I was so scared to break you But too blind to care I painted me wiser And covered my eyes • Shrouded in shame • Proud of my pain • Layered with lies The tears that dried and stained our skin The cracks that grew and spread us thin The pace at which I run from it The memories I can't stomach The harm that I've done The shell I've become The beast that stays on my heels Reminder that's all too real Of harm that I've done Of what I've become This wasn't what I wanted Or what you deserved And I was so sure I could fix it Before you returned • But with bricks and mortar • We sealed our borders off The tears that dried and stained our skin The empty room where love had been The pace at which I run from it The memories I can't stomach The harm that I've done The shell I've become The beast that stays on my heels Reminder that's all too real Of harm that I've done Of what I've become _________________________________________ Sunken and slow You turn your eyes away from me You're moving off It's all wrong No It's all wrong Sunken and slow You turn your eyes away from here Fought for so long It's all wrong No it's all wrong Explain Request ×
