|
I suppose we are born from our silence |
|
But you seem to take yours with you |
|
Like a child that refuses to bloom |
|
|
|
You forced me to face all of your beauty |
|
Then turned your beauty away from yourself |
|
This road that we've taken doesn't seem to stop here |
|
But doesn't seem to go anywhere else |
|
|
|
And your heart rests in your chest |
|
Like a charm 'round your neck |
|
That you couldn't find words to refuse |
|
|
|
And this high horse you ride |
|
It has broken its stride |
|
As it leads us through worlds built for you |
|
|
|
So walk with me a little bit further |
|
So I can find the tenderness you keep inside |
|
God made you with a taste for the madness in love |
|
But you confuse your gift with your pride |
|
|
|
And I can't help you with removed that bandage |
|
I will leave you all to yourself while you heal |
|
As I'm learning time is a language |
|
And it's the best way to explain how I feel |
|
|
|
And while the magician you meet |
|
Sweeps you off your feet |
|
Saying he'll teach you tricks all for free |
|
|
|
I'll be in the way that you laugh |
|
As he cuts you in half |
|
And holds you up for the crowds all to see |
|
|
|
So forgive me for feeling so strongly |
|
But I feel like we can finally agree |
|
That true lovers always end up lonely |
|
Cause they know how good it could be |
|
|
|
I've heard the men in your wake |
|
Describe you as a snake |
|
As you slip away when they start to wilt |
|
|
|
But I firmly believe |
|
You're a lot more like Eve |
|
As she enjoys a bit of her guilt |
