Lyrics

These eggshells are killing my feet.
I fall down, my knees bleed.
I crawl through your anger, your ego I tiptoe through
Mood after mood.
So tired of being afraid
Of the next moment you lose control
I hear the bomb tick, but the timer's corroded
And I never know when you'll blow
And I'm trying to keep my head down
Cover my vulnerable heart.
Trying to cry for help… Why do I put myself second?
You were the first one to say I love you, I need you.
Adoring that side of you
I looked away when you waived a red flag
Round and around again, over and over
I fear you
But I love you.
A mouse on a wheel
Caught in a circle, I don't know which way to run
Cause you have two faces I see
The one I love captivates me
The other one scares me and literally tears me apart
I leave here today
Cause this is not love
And I will not stay
I sweep the eggshells away
I’m back on my feet
And my life is starting today.
No more half empty glasses, that fill one drop at a time.
My thirsty soul quenches as the knots in my stomach untie.
And my heart that was broken in two
Is now stronger than I ever knew
My spirit is back and it's no longer black and blue.
I leave here today
Cause this is not love
And I will not stay
I sweep the eggshells away
I’m back on my feet
And my life is starting today.
All I'm saying is give peace a chance.
