Lyrics

[Verse 1] Now you know why I call you home With your arms wrapped around me Slip and fall in the abyss But you catch me Thought I died a thousand times But I'm standing But I'm standing And you know I'm getting old As my bones start to buckle Tried to run but I can't move So I stumble It was hard to let you in But I still did But I still did [Bridge] And you made it safe And you made it safe for me to breathe Made it safe Made it safe [Verse 2] It's hard to clean my oozing wounds It's hard to feel like I'm deserving of the love I get from you It's hard to sleep under this moon Because I only have nightmares And they're all about losing you "Trust me" You say, "Just trust me" But it's been centuries and I can't stop the bleeding But you say, "Oh, please" "Open your heart to me" But I've been armored for so long A glance would kill me I can't show myself Because my spirit is frail And I can't even trust my instincts 'cause they're broken as well So, I'll show no one else What's inside of my shell It's been so long that I've forgotten who I really am [Outro] Wish I could be a marionette Someone else use me, and empty my hands I'm scared to look within and see who I am What if I hate it? What am I to do then?
