[Intro]
I know what you wanna do. I can’t say the same
Just know what we had was true. Now I feel this pain
Is it needless pain? All these needles came
Wrapped up in a box. Love is in my veins
I can’t break this lock. I can’t break this
[Interlude]
[Verse 1]
I remember every second—
Summer nights lying in bed and Netflixing
Winter mornings late for class—teachers hissing
Spring afternoons baking cake batter while sneak-dissing
Oh, I’m falling (falling). Won’t you please help me up?
I’m stalling. Can’t I see what’s enough? Can’t I see what I love?
Can’t I be where I must? Must I be without you?
I belong when I trust. (Just listen for two)
Minutes. I have never felt this way. I shouldn’t either
Guinness, I’ve beaten Prometheus. Envy chews me like I’m deli meat
Jealousy consumes breath in me
I told my spirit, “Rest in peace.” My spirit told me, “Rest with me.”
I think it might be best if we . .
Don’t lose focus. You know this hocus pocus
Bull sh*t with utmost devotion. Don’t quit
Like he did. Boy, you’ve come so close to the
Brim
[Interlude]
[Chorus (2x)]
I know what you wanna do. I can’t say the same
Just know what we had was true. Now I’m feeling pain
Is it needless pain? All these needles came
Wrapped up in a box. Love is in my veins
I can’t break this lock. I can’t break this
[Verse 2]
All I know is that my hands, they can’t breathe, and I
I (with my eyes on their knees) am devoted to you like
A Buddhist to the Sutras; like a nudist to the idea Free
I, I (with my eyes on their knees) dug my feet into bark
And climbed The Giving Tree. At the top I snatched
The stars and sky for you. At the door I knew these things
I wanted for me. I’m making sh*t difficult:
Eating the waffle without the fork
Fighting the battle without the fort;
Winning the case without the court
Tell me you don’t want me (with my eyes on their knees)
To surrender to you, lend my heart to you. I can tell, girl
That you want to be free—even if this is hard for you
[Chorus]
[Outro]
