stagnant hearts always turn to stone
I've convinced myself
there's nothing here
worth holding on to
and I've been waiting
for you to prove me right
So far
you don't dare to disappoint
I push through because
there is nothing else I can do
I have no one pick up the pieces
of the crumbling parts of me
and it's easier to push
the closeness of your face away
than let you see the real me
in this half light
Never mind that I want
you to push through
intuit the wrongness of this place
I want you to see me
but somehow you never do
I've convinced myself
there's nothing here
worth holding on to
But I don't leave
there's nothing here
worth holding on to
and I've been waiting
for you to prove me right
So far
you don't dare to disappoint
I push through because
there is nothing else I can do
I have no one pick up the pieces
of the crumbling parts of me
and it's easier to push
the closeness of your face away
than let you see the real me
in this half light
Never mind that I want
you to push through
intuit the wrongness of this place
I want you to see me
but somehow you never do
I've convinced myself
there's nothing here
worth holding on to
But I don't leave
