You are not a villain in a song
You're a man to whom I'd hoped I could belong
But if all we are is skin stretched over bone
I am my own
I am my own
Swore I saw a glimmer of a man
Who could tolerate if not quite understand
That I'm more than some burden that you opted not to bear
Cuz you were scared
You were scared
Remember when I told you I could die
That I'm grasping for a reason to survive
You took the words and crushed them, oh
You always loved to steal but never
Ask me how I feel
There was no how you feelin?
I still taste the sweetness of your kiss
Though my tongue spits bitter after all of this
I miss the way it feels not to crumble but to soar
When my eyes meet yours
I am my own
I'm not made of stone
And goddamn I feel my pain through skin and bone
So where'd your heart and spine go
And don't it get too cold on your own?
