Contortionist

You say I'm welcome as long as I don't speak too loud

We stand far enough apart for you to pretend, you're so proud

Hands in the air to someone who won't sing back to you

I'll look the part, say the words, as long as you love me too

I'm a contortionist

Back breaking just to fit

Love me if it serves you

Love me if it serves you

Love me if it serves you

You ask for presence but I know I can't say too much

You lay your hands on while I long for more than your touch

I'd cast it all aside

To feel your heart I'd die

Love me if it serves you

Love me if it serves you

Love me if it serves you

I'll say a prayer as I'm tracing your shape in the dark

I'll sell you my soul so we'll burn but never apart
