lyrics

I've had some long days in these short three years
And some long nights when you called me mad on the phone
And I hate waking up to your stones on my shoulders
If you let go, you can see me
But you're holding on to what you know
Grudges and fists and the knots on my wrists
And the way you want to do this

I want to run away
I want to find a place where I don't hate the sunrise
I want to know I'm safe, don't want to have to hide
I want to live like I love being alive

It's been forever since the last time you were happy
And you meant well, but you don't know how to speak
Did you remember that you love me?
'Cause you tell me all the time
But I can't see it in your eyes

You're breathing fire
And I know that I'm not water
But I don't want to turn to stone
Just to keep from getting burned
