Wax Heart

[Verse 1]
I let go of a part of me
I'm not fine
I'm holding on again
Holding off again
How long will I pretend
That it doesn't hurt?
Pieces of trust in my skin

[Verse 2]
And I'll start again
Begin again
And maybe then
I won't have to try and pretend
You're in control
Of my own world
Today I'll grow

[Bridge 1]
We go over and over and over and over and over and over and over again
Don't you see it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over; not yet

[Verse 3]
Lifetimes of familiarity
Dim lights away from security
Paths not yet explored
The doors you've yet to open or you'll go
Another try, walk bridgеs frayed
Like they might support your wеight this time
At least you've seen the bottom
You won't have to get there blind

[Bridge 2]
Have I had enough, or is it a bluff
An addict, headstrong; "I'll quit when I want"
Refusing the truth, too blinded to see
It won't go back to how it could be
Chasing the past, the version of us
I wanted to last, my mouth full of dust
Choking on words and hearts that are weighed
With every single broken promise made

[Chorus]
Truly I'm afraid
Afraid to face the future
One I walk alone
My feet reduced to all but bone
You had it underneath you
My heart is dust beneath your heels
To hold and to crush
To toss aside and watch me rust

[Outro]
Truly I'm afraid (and I'll start again)
Afraid to face the future (begin again)
One I walk alone (and maybe then)
My feet reduced to all but bone (I won't have to try and pretend)
You had it underneath you (You're in control)
My heart is dust beneath your heels (of my own world)
To hold and to crush (today)
To toss aside and watch me rust (I'll grow)
