lyrics

I had it mind to tear you up
tender and mild I need the sea
to be exact so I could put you back
together again, but a tempest swelled up
and drove all your parts away
pieces of you that I could not save
so here I go stretching skin
around a broken heart that I can't mend
I hope she doesn't notice
that she doesn't look at all
like she did from the start
before I touched her at all
I must have been drunk when I said
that I can hold you without losing my grip
hold on, shut up, leave me alone
I don't know you at all, I don't owe you at all
pretty faker, go on and make her
a smile, a wink, and a fresh sense of sleep
and hold back the water
I don't know why, but in her eyes
I can see every heart beat that I skipped
and I'm sorry that I didn't see
that I was tearing you apart without knowing at all
how those architects even built your heart
I was careless and impatient and I didn't read the warning
and now I'm left holding an incomplete heart
and now that we're even I'll go ahead and start
another fight and another reason to fall apart
I don't want to hurt you anymore than I'd hurt myself
oh I might as well just fall apart
