It’s so cold where you were just holding me

The words flowed out of my mouth carelessly

Things I wish that I could take back

Train running off of the tracks

I don’t know what’s been happening to me

Drive slow under the streetlights alone

Backroads, finding the longest way home

Silence really I can take

Foot slipping off of the brake

Feelings I wish I could escape

Riding passenger ‘til I wake with you

Do you know me when I’m only a ghost of myself?

I’m still growing, and I’m hoping

You don’t see me as somebody else

Somebody selfish, somebody helpless

Somebody underneath a spell

Somebody broken, somebody hopeless

Somebody putting you through hell

Eyes closed, feeling a shift in the breeze

I don’t mean to be so hard to read

Said goodbye to so many plans

Swear I’m doing all that I can

Castles crumble down into sand

Still you’re holding onto my hand
