We kissed in silence

You laid me down soft on a trail

Built by rabbis and working class men

Now we're alone with the bullfrogs

And i've got the thoughts in my head

And i felt so fucking guilty for liking the things that you said

I wish i were stronger

I were stronger

Tell me i'm pretty

Then look away while i cry

Cause ill never be pretty again

I am the lion just biding my time

'Till the wrath of the lamb

I love when you touch me but i know

I'm treading the path of the damned

I wish i were wiser

I were wiser

Tell me you want me

Call out my name while i fake that

I still have a heart left to give

Take me down south to the forest

Where ghosts of our ancestors live

Say that it's just for the summer

My spirit will learn to forgive

I wish i were kinder

I were kinder

Tell me you love me

Lie if you have to

But don't let me know

Till i know it's too late

Leave when the trees start to yellow

And my hands resume their old shake

Baby i won't last the winter

Cut my lifeline before the fates

And wish i were stronger

I were stronger
