Autumn

I carved my name into your ribcage

We talked of lands away from this cage

You said, "Don't fret, love, someday I'll be my own man, I'll be free"

Oh, but darling, did you mean

Darling, did you mean free from me?

You promised home

The kind I'd never known, oh

But here we are, skin and flesh and beating hearts

And I'm wondering what the hell I'm doing wrong

You said, "Let's make ourselves our very own brigade, this love our shield, our blade"

Oh, but darling, do you see the cuts from which I bleed?

It's me you've slain

I didn't obliterate these walls for you to come and raid my home

And here you are right next to me

Ironically, I've never felt more alone

I fell for you faster than I fell apart

And I guess I'm the one to blame for letting myself fall too hard

I ripped my heart out and put it in your hands in hopes that we'd put up a fight

How paradoxical, since now all I can think about is when will we stop trying

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

How do we stay afloat?

When do I let go?

All you do is blindside me, it's hard to be brave

But when the night cuts into the day, it's your love I crave

I must've thanked my lucky stars too much

They left me sitting in too much dust

You know all my dreams

You were one, so it seemed

And I love you but with you

It's heartache I breathe

You gave it your all, just with everything you took from me

Oh, my love

Is this the end for us?

Maybe we've had enough
