Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My lips are shakin', my nails are bit off
Been a month since I've heard myself talk
Only advantage this life's got on me
Picture a cup in the middle of the sea
[Verse 2]
And I fought back in my mind
Never let's me be right, oh
I got memories, I got shit
So much it don't show, oh
[Verse 3]
I walked the line
When you held me in at night
I walked the line
When you held my hand and I
[Verse 4]
On empty shells, seems so easy to crack
Got all these questions, don't know who I could even ask
So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
[Verse 5]
And I'll stay in bed
Oh, little I've seen there
If just once I could feel loved
Oh, stare back at me, yeah
[Verse 6]
But I walked the line
When you held me in at night
Oh, I walked the line
When you held my hand and I
Oh, I walked the line
When you held me close at night
I paid the price
Never held you in real life
[Verse 7]
My lips are shakin'
