Lyrics
This could be the very minute
I'm aware I'm alive
All these places feel like home
With a name I'd never chosen
I can make my first steps
As a child of 25
So I can toil with your affections
And you forgive me instantly
But I forgive the same I felt
My body's far too old for this one while
My mind's too young to understand
My bleeding hands can mend broken hearts
This is the straw
Final straw in the
Roof of my mouth
As I lie to you
Just because I'm sorry doesn't mean
I didn't enjoy it at the time
You're the only thing that I love
It scares me more every day
On my knees I think clearer
I've offended every single
Friend that I have ever had
They cry with me when it's too much gone
We're breathing far to boil the water
And the part that cook me in
The enemy was me all along
Goodness knows I saw it coming
Or at least I'll claim I did
But in truth, I'm lost for words
What have I done?
It's too late for that
What have I become?
Truth is nothing yet
A simple mistake starts the hardest time
I promise I'll do anything you ask
This time
