Lyrics

[Verse 1] A burst, and I'm awake now and I had strayed from these woods we had known In the dark they gathered there with ropes woven from strands of your hair Like these kings that came before, I fell asleep on this strange forest floor They would spirit you away and they danced as you gave up your throne [Pre-Chorus] You're breaking your back to be alone, refusing this kindness you were shown It doesn't mean anything anyway, It doesn't mean Beneath this canopy of trees, I wrapped my arms around my knees Rocking gently back to sleep, as I collapse into the deep [Chorus] With these words that we exchange, this isn't finished I couldn't bear to let you go, I couldn't bear to let you go Exhausted and estranged, testing your limits This isn't fair, I didn't know, I couldn't bear to let you go [Verse 2] It's a risk, but I resist now and it's my wish that you will it somehow You have everything you need with this compass and map you ignore You can't make yourself believe discontent, but you still wanted more At this swollen riverbank, you tried to cross, but you sank like a stone [Pre-Chorus] You're breaking your back to be alone, refusing this kindness you were shown It doesn't mean anything anyway, It doesn't mean Beneath this canopy of trees, I wrapped my arms around my knees Rocking gently back to sleep, as I collapse into the deep [Chorus] With these words that we exchange, this isn't finished I couldn't bear to let you go, I couldn't bear to let you go Exhausted and estranged, testing your limits This isn't fair, I didn't know, I couldn't bear to let you go [Verse 3] From the moment you arrived you had seemed so frustrated You had tried to leave this all behind to me and like a fool you had traded They motioned you inside to sleep from such a steep and narrow climb And these arrows at your feet were signs and I could feel you frustrated [Chorus] With these words that we exchange, this isn't finished I couldn't bear to let you go, I couldn't bear to let you go Exhausted and estranged, testing your limits This isn't fair, I didn't know, I couldn't bear to let you go [Outro] A burst, and I'm awake now And I had strayed from these woods we had known
