lyrics

It was so long ago when you came into my house and ripped my heart right out.
It was so devastating, you carried it with you, held save in your arms, so close.

I cannot escape what you have done, you've taken my art, stolen my heart.
These words are all I have.

Replacing the wounds when you start to swoon,
i'm back at square number one.
Healing the hurt, when you rub in dirt.
Bring me home, again.

I welcomed you in, like a child we've been.
The better days i've seen, in the beautiful green.
The quiet I sold and my secret you told.
I'm coming apart at the seams.

I cannot escape what you have done,
you've taken my art, stolen my heart.
These words are all I have.

Replacing the wounds when you start to swoon,
i'm back at square number one.
Healing the hurt, when you rub in dirt.
Bring me home, again.

I know all I have done, and the victim i've become.
Hate is harder when sung, melodies will still soften the glum.
I know what i've repressed, but i'm still the victim of a pressing circumstance--a child who's grown hand in hand.

I am casting the clouds over selfless resign,
The world is excessive and treat us like swine.
I break for another and fall to my knees,
The pushing pedestal is all that I need.
