lyrics

How long until I break this curse
Where I can barely breathe?
Where your face is etched into everything
And your scent lives in my sheets
How long until I catch my reflection
And I’m happy with what I see?
And this new town with new streets and new ambitions
Doesn’t feel like it’s just empty
Because it feels like a city and I see buildings
But I swear it’s only me
And when I open my mouth to try and speak
There’s only nothing
I started writing again
In hopes of finding peace with myself
But even the trees have given up and let go of all their leaves
Just like every time that you gave up on me
And I fell to the ground at your feet
(Maybe if I had a different voice)
You’d still want to hear me sing
(Maybe if I was a different tree)
You wouldn’t just always leave
So I’ll smash every mirror in this god damn house
So I don’t have to see me
And I’ll grow my hair out as long as I can
Until I don’t recognize me
‘Cause maybe if I had a different face
You’d still want to look at me
Thought I heard you whisper words of peace
Another wasted dream
I’ll let go of the past
But the scars will remain
And I’ll keep trying
When I saw all your strength
I felt all your pain
I’ll let go of the past
But the scars will remain
(I’ll chase you away with the bottle,
Though I still taste you in my teeth).
