lyrics

I always said I don't know what I'd do without you
Now Im finding out just how far a heart can sink
Into my stomach fighting flesh and bone to tell you how it feels
To see your face in every stranger, say a prayer with every meal

Drove past the church where you cried into your hands
I tried so hard to keep my distance, you said I'd never understand
Well does that make you a liar? Or does that make me a fraud?
I can see it in your eyes, you love to tell me that I'm flawed
And second best
In bed
You lie awake pretending you're asleep
And hope and pray and scream you leach just get the hell away from me.

I am the dirt beneath your feet
I am those tears that you choked back
I am the tongue behind your teeth
And all this time I knew I needed you more than you needed me
And now I can't be satisfied with anyones skin that I see

Under my fingers giving way to my disease
I should have never laid a hand on you
I should have ran away but please
Don't pull me underneath the ice, darling, it's getting hard to breath
All of those words you thought I'd choke on
I never thought they'd really leave

Writing letters on my flesh I'll send you skin till you grow old
You always loved me like the summer, always waiting for the cold
And I'm not trying to make you sorry I just needed you to know
That it's my insecurities that have me standing on your roof
