Choice of Words

Lyrics

His choice of words Meant everything to me And I don't want it to end But I lost my composure When I fucked it all over And I just can't go through this again I light the pyre for you I'll watch you burn away New life bestowed before you I have to turn away I know what haunts me down to my core It clouds my mind and burns at my soul I have to turn away The grief hits different when it's expected Heartbreak's different when the signs are directed Can't avoid it when it's interconnected It's all in my head, broken past my protection When I go to sleep, I'm okay My dreams in color, not gray There's no place I'd rather stay But the sun comes up and it rips me away I light the pyre for you I'll watch you burn away New life bestowed before you I have to turn away I know what haunts me down to my core It clouds my mind and burns at my soul I have to turn away I only saw from a distance You slowly fading to nothing And yet when you reached for me I turned away These vacant bones will hold you close And I'll break them just to hold your weight I'm still not the same
