So scared you'll get sick, but not 'cause you'd be hurting
You will cease to exist before resembling a burden
Felt safe from above, you are Halley's Comet
To see you just once, I'd wait a lifetime, I promise

Terrified of reaching out when it's nothing you can say out loud
Don't tell me the worst will pass
Just how long the longing will last

All the mean bones in your body are dissolving
You're half as harmful when you leave
Pray your service lands on a leap year
You want no one to be there
Your ghost felt guilty when they grieved

And if these walls could talk
I think they'd start to question
Why I just stare at them all

So scared you'll get sick, but not 'cause you'd be hurting
You will cease to exist before resembling a burden
Felt safe from above, you are Halley's Comet
Safe from above
To see you just once, I'd wait a lifetime, I promise

Your greatest fear is someone taking care of you
But that's what I was made to do
Your freckles will disappear when the Sun starts to set too soon

All the mean bones in your body are dissolving
You're half as harmful when you leave
Pray your service lands on a leap year
You want no one to be there
Your ghost felt guilty when they grieved

Do you take the credit or the blame
All the mean bones in your body are dissolving
Whenever you hear my name?
Either way, you sculpted me as your own, oh
You're half as harmful when you leave
Take the credit or the blame
Pray your service lands on a leap year
Whenever you hear my name
You want no one to be there
Either way, you sculpted me as your own, oh
Your ghost felt guilty when they grieved
