Lie awake til the early AM
Wrapped up in all of the pages
Words you never said
And I've found that wishing for heaven
Is just a living hell
With or without your pain
I'm falling asleep where you used to be
Your words still burn under my paper skin
Why did I let you in?
And your lips, they lie
To keep your heart disguised
Did you ever need mine?
Did you ever need mine?
I guess you had to rip through the ceiling
But the constellations, they look so rivet now
I guess it all worked out
When you sleep, the wind keeps you distant
But I'm sure you're wrapped in the midst of a broken house
Can we slow this down?
You left with bricks and stones
From a heart that lost its soul
With just a node
I still keep close, but I should have kept closed
Your words still burn under my paper skin
Why did I let you in?
And your lips, they lie
To keep your heart disguised
Did you ever need mine?
Did you ever, ever?
Did you ever, ever?
Can I let go now?
Can I let go now?
And I'm falling asleep, where you used to be
Falling asleep, where you used to be
Can I let go now?
It's so hard holding my breath
With an empty chest
Your words still burn under my paper skin
Why did I let you in?
And your lips, they lie
To keep your heart disguised
Did you ever need mine?
Did you ever, ever? (can I let go now?)
Did you ever, ever?
