Put it out to hang dry
Why don't we let the whole world see
That we built our own walls too hide
But made a ramp for the enemy
So while this kind of bitter rose decayed
You were plucking the petals out like crayons from the stress we made

But we couldn't find a reason to just let it go
Take a deep breath when we hit that low
You were a mess and I took the toll
And everybody has a word for me
But I just don't know what is
I could stomach another go
They say that you're perfect and I'm a foe
And I just have to wait it out

But I'm feeling too small for anything bigger than your army
Cause they believe what they say, don't harm me
But it breaks me to the core
And you can try to tell me that you're sorry
But everything that hurts you hits me ten times worse
Cause I'm stuck in the middle of it all

How could you hit so hard?
Stacking pebbles in your glass home
Well, I'm holding on to the scars
They remind me I'm not alone, so
When your soul starts to fade
You'll bring it in the shoulder to lean on
So lay in the bed you made

But we couldn't find a reason to just let it go
Take a deep breath when we hit that low
You were a mess and so was the toll
And everybody has a word for me
But I just don't know what is
I could stomach another go
They say that you're perfect and I'm a foe
And I just have to wait it out

But I'm feeling too small for anything bigger than your army
Cause they believe what they say, don't harm me
But it breaks me to the core
And you can try to tell me that you're sorry
But everything that hurts you hits me ten times worse
Cause I'm stuck in the middle of it all
