Ethel Cain first posted the demo for this track in her Tumblr on September 16th, 2018, saying “missing a motel room by the interstate in georgia”.
I know you better now than I ever have before
I know you better now that our clothes are on the floor
And I had started shaking when you walked in through the door
But I’m not scared anymore, I’m not scared anymore
And I’ve never felt more alone with your arms around my shoulders
But I know if you left I’d cry myself to sleep praying that you’d hold me closer
But I see your face in the lamplight
And suddenly I don’t wanna die, I don’t wanna die
And I don’t need to be happy anymore
I just need to know that I’m yours
So will you tell me that I’m yours
You sleep so deeply cause you hope you won’t wakе up
But I tread so lightly cause I’m scared you’ll sеlf destruct
And I know that we’d go up in flames but I can’t help myself
Cause I’d die if I knew you found safety in the arms of someone else
And I don’t need to be happy anymore
I just need to know that I’m yours
Will you tell me I’m yours
That I’m yours
